None here for me either. I no more babies and I just don’t typically do spring and Easter in these styles. Glad I splurged on some things I liked for BF since none of these new lines coming at things I’d buy/use.

Wizard of Oz is awesome but not useful for me - I might grab some of the papers though - I really like that green.
I love that there is a gender neutral baby collection but I don't really care for the muddy colours for any of the baby collections -and I don't need baby papers

Nothing here for me. It seems like Echo Park should have the baby market saturated by now. The Oz line had potential, but I do not like the color choices. They are too "primary" based or something.
Thanks for sharing them!

I could use the B sides on the Wizard paper. Not real use for the A sides though. Ditto on the rest of them - though I could see me picking up some of the baby lines. I love the plaids.

Thank you so much for linking the new kits, I love looking through them! I like the Here Comes Spring and Here Comes Easter - pretty colours, but probably too similar to a lot of other kits I have. I really like the colour scheme of Special Delivery: Baby Girl. I have zero use for it right now, unless DD tells me she's pregnant with a baby girl sometime between now and January!  (Not gonna happen!) |

IThe Wizard of Oz and Winnie the Poo collections are cute but not anything I’d use.
I remember the thread about companies using old stereotypes. The off to school collection is so outdated. A desk globe, apple for the teacher, little red schoolhouse, and big a yellow bus. It was actually kind of funny.
In any case some of the other collections are ok but they aren’t opening the freezer door.

Honestly, I love the Wizard of Oz collection! I have absolutely NO use or need for it, but I think it's great! The bright colors, the fact that it's a different theme, the originality of it! I won't buy any of it, but I think it's great that it's available.
The others are all a pass for me. I think some of the baby stuff is cute and usable, but I have no need.

Oh cool, an antique truck with flowers in the back! Something new and different! But it's pink this time! We have a red truck, and hauled a Christmas tree in it a few weeks ago, so I can finally use that icon. One time. Not every year, 3-4 times and in every season. |

Wizard of Oz - I have no use for this but I really like it. I might have to buy some of it just because. Oh and Steve Duncan! Here Comes Spring - Very pretty but don't really need it. Here Comes Easter - " SD: Baby - I could probably use some of this. I like the non-trad. colors. SD: Boy & Girl - Don't need these but at least it's not exactly all pastels. CB & EP have some of the best B-sides in the business. Thanks for showing us PaperAngel. |

I haven't purchased scrapbook paper in about 18 months. This right here is a reason why. Boring, repetitive, uninspiring, yawn.

While I think Wizard of Oz is charming in a "core memory" way, I have no need to scrap with it. And I think all 3 baby lines are beautiful in colour and if I were doing a baby album I'd buy it. But I'm not  |

Not a Wizard of Oz groupie, but I love the blues and greens in that collection.
And the bunny dies are really cute in the Easter line.

I just looked through all the threads of new products and the only one I'll be buying any of is Wizard of Oz. The rest just are too similar to things I already have or don't need. This is the 2nd release I've had that issue.

Wizard of Oz is nice and different but it’s so specific. Have no idea what I’d use that for.
I don’t need the baby lines but I LOVE that board and letters die in the collections! I see so much potential with it. I just put it on my wishlist.
The Easter and Spring lines are same old, same old to me. Pass.

I love that there is a gender neutral baby collection but I don't really care for the muddy colours for any of the baby collections -and I don't need baby papers Same. I'm out of the loop, so the retro 1970s/1980s color palette (earthy brown, dark avocado green, mustard yellow, light teal, mauve, etc.) may be a current trend in baby bedding/clothing/etc. |

I also find the bright/non-stereotypically feminine color palette, lack of florals, classic movie theme, etc. refreshing! |

The Wizard of Oz papers are cute.
The rest are so boring and unoriginal. I always get excited when new collections are announced but the only thing I want of all of these is the moon stencil in the baby line.
Echo Park and Carte Bella are definitely not my favorite companies.

Thanks for your responses. While I appreciate the Wizard of Oz collection is a rare exception to the same themes on a loop, half of the reverse sides of papers are also themed, three are gingham, one is tone on tone yellow dots, & the other two are tone on tone green patterns. It seems a missed opportunity for multicolor stripes, plaids, &/or dots to use this color palette outside the narrow theme. I already have classic patterns in similar colors to the spring/Easter/baby collections. Therefore, nothing from this release is added to my wish list.

I will get some Wizard of Oz paper, having decided which yet. I was Dorothy in the school play in elementary school, but don’t have photos. So I’ll do some themed paper to tell the story. And I love the neutral colors for the baby line, so some of that will come home with me as well.

The Wizard of Oz was a pleasant surprise. I like the bright bold colors and the phrases.
I’m glad there’s a neutral baby theme but it’s almost too neutral. There could be more orange and green or something.
