*NEW* Mintay - October release

I love the colors of the bohemian, but it's a little too busy pattern wise. It would be hard to add anything additional to some of the busy papers.

I like some of the fix it products.

The nicest thing I can think of to say is that today I have learnt that Mintay is not my style.

(Another way to say it is that most of those are the ugliest most depressing collections I have seen in a long time.   Most definitely not my colours!)



Except for the Happy Birthday collection. I love that! scrappinchar can I come to your birthday party so I can use it too? 

Like Linda , I love the images and colours of the Great Outdoors line, but unsure how I would use them; no need for the amount of PINK in the birthday line; like the Mr Fixit but unsure how much I need it; LOVE the teal in the wedding line, but no need for the ornate graphics.

I like the colors in Bohemian wedding but not the designs so I won’t be buying any thing from that line. Don’t really care for the other collections.

Haha. I just got back from Elkfest in Estes Park yesterday and think they are gorgeous AND practical.  So many elk and moose. We watched Mr. Moose stand by the lake and watch his lady friend eat out of the bottom of the lake for a good 45 minutes.  We were so close (not were going to die close though). We also got in-between a bull elk trying tor round up his harem for a good thirty minutes and watched the older female elk give him no respect.  When one of the older ones crossed the road, he got in front of the vehicles and stopped them while bugling at her to no avail.  We got a good 550 pictures of the wildlife this weekend.  Will be hard to pare down.  

I love the Great Outdoors, but how on earth would one use those A sides? I'll probably buy the log paper.

I like Mr Fix-It. I wish I had that line when I created my work scrapbook after retirement. I'm going to buy the die cuts and add them to my scrapbook.

The rest - no thank you.

The rusty b-side paper (Paper 3) in Mr. Fix-it is nice if I had something to scrap about that was rusty and peeling, otherwise none of these are my style.

Oof. They are all just SO busy…almost Graphic 45ish. Not my style at all.

The color schemes are way out there. The birthday is bubblegum pink.
The Boho wedding is almost Christmasy, which would work if you had a Christmas wedding, I suppose.

Overall, these are all beautiful papers and I appreciate that Mintay and other companies add variety. That said, these papers do not match the mood and feel of my life. The birthday photos I have would look ridiculous on the birthday paper. The same with the wedding paper. Very few of my photos can pull off "fancy" paper. We just don't live that life. lol!

When we fix things, we are never that hardcore in our "fixing" and neither are we in our outdoor adventures. I do appreciate some of the less busy background papers in those collections.

What does match the mood and feel of my life in the medical and the music chippies. They are in my cart. It is near impossible to find bass embellishments, and there are several in the music pack. Big plus! At $1.40 a sheet, I am going the pass on the denim backgrounds and the maps and plaid printed paper.

I don’t really like any of it

For those who have bought chippies, like what are they like? Easy to color? Sturdy?

I’m with you here but I love pretty paper. My pet layouts get the fancy paper. I put fake lightweight pearls around my cat’s neck and she sits up or crosses her legs like a fancy princess. 😆

I like the doily chippies. There are also a few b-sides in the fix it and outdoor lines that I would use. The map print in the outdoor line is something I could see myself buying multiples of. I don't hate the birthday line and might buy a few select sheets for either my birthday or a friend who had a milestone birthday recently--I think the key might be to fussy cut just a few select elements from the really busy sheets.
