NEW October Afternoon line

i think it is cute.

Ha ha you beat me to it PaperAngel ! I was already going to order SS #4 because I thought they might have some Treasure Map hidden in there...but this was a lovely surprise. I too, was shocked they hadn't leaked ANY info on this line at all, wow!

My thoughts on the line: overall I love it! It definitely makes me nostalgic for my childhood. It also makes me wish I had pictures of a big vintage television or something. We didn't watch much TV when i was a kid, mostly i just watched cartoons Saturday mornings, thus this is perfect for me! I love that OA does different themes than other companies, and that OA always feels very OA, true to its own style while somehow remaining fresh. They are by FAR my favourite company for designs. This line is a good mix of cute retro prints and easy to use B sides. They just get retro so right...I especially love: Omelet paper (clouds!); Cereal paper; Orange Juice paper; Label Stickers; Shape Stickers and the tidbits. As I posted in the Santa Sack thread I did notice they don't have as many of their staple embellishments as usual...to quote myself:

no button pack, no miscellany pack, no sew fun banners, no clear stamps (2 rubber though), no mini market (GASP!), no 12 x 12 alpha stickers, no collection pack or 8x8 pad, and the border stickers and label stickers have been combined into 1 sheet. I wonder if some things didn't get produced in time or if they are making cuts to their staple embellishments?

I did just see, however, that ACOT has a listing for a collection pack for this line, so that is probably going to be available after all. Oh and no Chip N Stick...

I am very interested to hear whatever likes and doesn't like about this line.

I blogged about it this morning here. Had some fun with the way they "announced" it, LOL.

The new collection is included IN the last Santa Sack #4 which was announced this morning, and those ship within 2 days of payment so, that implies it is in their hands now, ready to go.

I am pretty sure that someone like maybe stampinisfun might order one and we can see what was included in a day or two.  She always gets a list up super quickly.  I ordered right away though, as it has NEW OA in it, it will probably sell out faster.than the others which are all sold out now. 

I always love OA stuff but then struggle using it... I can always use the brads and miscellany... I love the A sides, but get stumped when using something so specific in theme and style... I like them for mini books though so I do end up buying most of line though...lol I'm just glad to hear they're shipping stuff... Hoping that whatever happened this year is solved and they can ship stuff out more often...

I love it all, but was sad to see the things missing. That cloud paper is delicious, and I love the colors!!!,

I saw a thread on the SC message boards about this as well. Mel Blackburn said she had it on her desk. She is on their DT so it's out there. I ordered SS #4 too and am super excited to see what they send us!!

I agree - I wish they would cut down on the number of image-based papers (and embellishments). It's a little much. Although, I can quickly think of at least four layouts that I could do using the breakfast patterns (in small amounts). I do love the B sides of most of the papers.

Layout #1 - making french toast and pancakes with my youngest dd - she loves to help me make breakfast, Layout #2 - sneaking to a local breakfast restaurant with my oldest dd for breakfast - it's our time together and her favorite place to go with me (she already did a layout on this subject), Layout #3 - breakfast place in Chicago (Toast) that is my favorite - went there during my honeymoon and this past summer (I have pictures), Layout #4 - breakfast on Sunday's - growing up my dad would make breakfast after church, it's the only meal I ever remember him making.

Yeah, breakfast is my favorite meal of the day! 

See now, I'm the opposite.  I love their image based papers and can never get enough.  I think their images are really their strong suit, although I think their patterns are lovely too.  I really wish they would do a line of mid-century modern type papers.  Those patterns would go so nicely with all their other stuff. 

Meh

Sorry I posted on wrong thread. I added the spoiler to the Santa Sack thread.

It's adorbale - but will we ever see it hit stores?

Sounds petty promising as there are reports the DT has it in hand AND it has been sent out and received in the 4th Santa Sack. ACOT has it up on their site if you search for it although it is not yet available...
