Thanks for sharing. None are really my thing - the Coast to Coast stamp set is really the only thing that caught my eye

I like some of the B sides from Rainbow Ave, and I have to say, it's kinda giving me early Dear Lizzy vibes (esp Peony Dreams)! I loved her lines, so I'm happy about that! |

That is a super hard pass for me. One I do not need little girl/boy papers. Sick of overly pastel colors that are super Maggie Holmes-ish, and the coast to coast one has an odd mix of colors. Trying to be too much like V.B in my view.
No no no no no.

Nothing here for me. I didn’t look at them too much as I already know none of the themes are needed.

Heaven knows, I have lots and lots of travel scrappy supplies, but I like the colours of Coast to Coast. Prob won't buy the papers, but the shaped enamel and puffy stickers are calling my name.

Note Rainbow Avenue is not branded as American Crafts, rather it appears to be the debut collection of a new brand, Celes Gonzalo. Welcome to the new designer! I'm not the target audience of American Crafts (or its brands) pattern paper collections. I especially dislike the cheap acrylic stamp sets, ink cubes, & shades of yellow in their color palettes. TFS. |

Sadly, none of these appeal to me...

Coast to Coast reminds me of the Crate Paper journey line mixed with Pinkfresh.
I put a couple papers in my cart and the journal spots. Some stickers too. I am drawn to those enamel dots but I have enough to pave my street.

it's kinda giving me early Dear Lizzy vibes That was *exactly* my first thought! And I used and loved those papers...and will probably try some of this and see if I still like the vibe. I think it's fairly generic overall. I can see Shimelle adding it to her BOBW kits. Yeah...I kinda like it! Don't need the boy/girl lines at all but I'm not offended by them. And the travel line - I have plenty of travel stuff now with recent excellent releases, but am tempted by a couple of those darker teal papers. |

No to all of it. A combination of >> don't care for the colors, too small on the stickers and embellishments.

Ugh, I actually really dislike Coast to Coast, except for the stamp.
WHY do we need flowers coming out of a hiking boot? Sheesh.

I do have a need for little girl papers, but way too much pink. Same with the Rainbow Avenue. The travel paper didn't do anything for me either. I'll just keep my money for now.

I didn't hate Rainbow Ave as much as I expected based on first glance. Plenty of the b-sides seem versatile and as mentioned upthread I can also see Shimelle adding some of this to future BOBW kits.
I'm also surprised I like some of the boy and girl lines, there were several b-sides I quite like in these, especially the watercolour wash on the reverse of the rainbow paper in the girl collection.
I could tell by the thumbnails Coast to Coast was not my type of travel line, so I'm not surprised nothing appeals to me in this.

Rainbow Avenue, Little Girl, Little Boy - Wow, that's a lot of pastels!  I do like a few of the pp-s but don't really need these. Coast to Coast - Like this one! Thanks for showing us craftymom101 |

I don’t really care for any of them, but could possibly get a limited few pieces of the Coast to Coast collection.

Rainbow Avenue - Well, the color combination is different than a lot of stuff I've seen lately. It is kind of too washed out for me but I like the tag paper, the faux mixed media b-sides, and I love the Thickers.
Hello Little Girl - so boring
Hello Little Boy - also boring, but in blue
Coast to Coast - I'm not in love with this but I do like it. All of the recent travel collections have been brown heavy, so it is nice to see one with color. I really like the glasses paper. The patterns seem fairly fresh for a travel line, too.

I could see myself picking up single sheets of these if I saw them at Joann, esp because I have a new baby. The travel one is nice too.

There are some gorgeous papers in Rainbow Avenue, Hello Little Girl, and Hello Little Boy. I can see myself buying these when they're available as digital kits. I could see myself picking up single sheets of these if I saw them at Joann, esp because I have a new baby. The travel one is nice too. Congratulations! I missed your announcement because I don't check the Pokey Peas thread. |

This one is an easy pass for me. The only thing I might buy is the blue thicker alphas from the baby boy line.

I really like the Rainbow Avenue but have absolutely no need for any of it. I have so many similar papers that I haven’t used. That said, I missed the early Dear Lizzy days and am not familiar with the collection others mentioned.

None of this is for me. I like bright bold rainbow, not pastel. No babies in my life. And I'm more of a road tripper in the middle of the continent so Coast to Coast doesn't work  |

I'm going to NYC next month and see a lot of potential in Coast to Coast for documenting that trip. I'm sure some of it will end up in my cart, especially the die cuts/stickers. While I appreciate that it's a bright collection not leaning heavily on brown, I'm disappointed the neutrals used don't really include white, but more of a grayish cream. That will stop me from getting a lot of the papers.
The other collections are a pass. Rainbow Ave has a lot recycled imagery from previous designer collections (Paige, Maggie, etc). They really need to get some new graphic designers. ALL the manufacturers needs new graphic designers! Way past time for something new.

The more I look at Coast to Coast, the more I like it! The colors are different (to me) than what we have seen for travel collections, and I love the aqua, forest green, grass gree, and orange color combination. Yes, there is pink, but it isn't overwhelmingly pink.
