Not a single thing.
Why can't companies make non cutesy, non little kid school lines?
But I LOLed so hard at the Stanley Cup paper and sticker.

The colors in the travel one are not really my style. A little disappointed because this summer's travel collection from EP also had a lot of brown. While I appreciate a different color palette, I am not a fan of brown. Just my preference.
I love Steven Duncan's cowboy collection, but don't need it
love the crayons paper in the school collection. A little disappointed to see the some of same old icons - apples, owls, analog alarm clock & a schoolhouse. A little surprised to see a school collection this early?

My computer is being glitchy so I didn't look at every single item... I was excited when I saw the color scheme for Summer Vibes (no pink!) but then I looked at the stickers and die cuts and wouldn't be able to use most of them because I don't surf. Nice colors though...
Nothing else really caught my attention, but a b-side or two might end up in my cart.

Nothing here for me. So much repetition and the icons just aren’t hitting the mark for me.

I like some of the Sunflower summer collection and some b-sides from the Cowboy. I liked the Summer Vibes colour scheme because it's not pastel but design wise it's a miss for me. Some of the papers from Stars and Stripes might make it on my wishlist -I like a good red/white/blue colourscheme and several look versatile.

I like the Cowboy line and will pick some of it up --- the area I live is in a big cowboy area and I will be able to use it sometime. Reminds me very much of OA.
I will also pick up the USA line.

Love the colors and motifs of Summer Vibes. I don't need more summer paper, but I LOVE the towel/umbrella paper, so I may need to pick up a few other pieces for cohesiveness.
I like Let's Take a Trip. I almost always like travel paper and I need more of it like I need a hole in the head.
The rest is a miss by either being too themed, too pink, or too floral or all of those together. lol!

I will definitely buy Summer Vibes when it is available as a digital kit.

I like the Sunflower kit. I also like the colors in Summer Vibes but not enough to decide if I love it.

I think I'm going to be saving a lot of money the next few months. Not a single thing caught my eye. The sunflower paper looked a bit interesting and then I remembered I have an entire KaiserCraft collection in those colors, so it is all a pass for me.

I love the Cowboy line. It is very similar to the October Afternoon Sasparilla line & it was one of my faves. I used most of that line on a mini album for my trip to the Pioneer Woman's town & ranch and for a layout of a Dixie Chicks concert I went to years ago.
However, even though I live in Texas, I am not a Cowgirl and my family is not into Cowboy Culture...but I don't know if I can resist such a cute collection!!
I'm also always a sucker for a red/white/blue collection so I may end up grabbing that one as well.

CB Bloom - Lovely but I don't need any more floral papers. EP Take the Trip - Probably a No. EP My Best Life - Maybe some B-sides. Again with the floral... EP Summer Vibes - Like a few pieces, mostly B-sides. CB Cowboys - Love this. Don't need it. Will buy it. CB Sunflower Summer - Like the chicken pp. EP Off to School - Don't need any more school lines. EP Stars & Stripes- Nice but I have plenty of patriotic supplies. Thanks again PaperAngel. |

When you wrote Stanley Cup, I immediately went to Hockey. Couldn't figure out what you meant, lol. And I even have teen girls. I guess kudos to EP for being on trend if not completely basic. These are all a no for me. Repeats, colors don't appeal, not applicable and I don't scrapbook patriotic anything. |

Surprisingly there are a couple of sheets in the cowboy line that I really want...I love the sky paper, the guitars (to scrap a music festival I attend every year) and the floral.
I also like Let's Take the Trip and Summer Vibes.

I guess kudos to EP for being on trend if not completely basic. ^^thank you for not making me feel alone there. I was desperately looking for anything hockey related! I do really really like some of these pps. No collection as a whole attracts me, but the rainbow grid as a "b"side in "school days" is a multiple buy YES. And I really like the colours of "summer vibe" but can't use many of the stickers (no oceans or palm trees near me...) |

CB - Bloom- No thank you. Too much floral.
EP - Let's Take the Trip- I actually really like this one, but I like all travel lines! LOL! I just wish someone would do travel that doesn't include planes or ships or the Eiffel tower! How about road trips, local stuff, and the US? I may pick up a few things from this though.
EP - My Best Life- I like the idea behind this but most of the line is just too pink and too much! Again, I may pick up a few things from it if I come across it.
EP - Summer Vibes- LOVE the colors of this line! Love. But seriously, I really don't have a use for most of the icons, phrases, and pictures. Why is summer surf boards and palm leaves? I may grab a few things just because I like the colors so much.
April
CB - Cowboys (by stevenduncandesigner )- Like others have said-really like this line! The guitar paper will definitely make it to my stash. Maybe the boot paper. And a few others. Not really cowboys here, but I can use some of it for going to the fair, or even a rodeo.
CB - Sunflower Summer-I love sunflowers, but this is really getting overdone. By all companies. Probably will get a few things though cuz I really like the chicken paper and the large floral pattern!
EP - Off To School-No use for this but I do agree the rainbow plaid is nice. Sad to see so many vintage type icons for school. Gosh, when can we get up to date with this stuff?
EP - Stars & Stripes Forever-No thanks. I know there's only so much you can do with Patriotic, but this is just the same stuff over and over.

Summer Vibes - I appreciate the color combo of this one. Yay for something different and a little more masculine looking! Will get some of it.
Sunflowers- Our fall looks like this line. I love sunflowers. I’ll get some of this too.
The rest are a pass for me. Either too similar to other collections I already own (school, 4th of July) or no need for (cowboy).

I don't totally love any of them. I like Bloom but it's probably a little too fussy for me. I like the color palette, though.
I like Let's Take the Trip. That's something I could use.
I like Sunflower Summer the best out of all of these. I like the color palette and also that even though it's a summer collection it's not all swimming and suntans and summer this and summer that. I could use it to scrap other topics.

Stanley Cup as in those huge reusable cups people use. Not hockey. Sorry. In Canada, if you say drinking from a Stanley Cup, these are the images that come to mind...
Anyway, in searching for the paper and stickers you mentioned, I realize that I really LIKE "My Best Life". I can visualize it for pages and cards for my dd and ddil's. Mothers' Day. Love the cowgirl boots.

It all looks the same. How many 4th of July releases do we need in one lifetime? It’s all been done. And too many chickens. And the whole farmhouse theme…ick. I could pick a few single sheets here and there but these collections are so tired.

I take it back…the Summer Vibes is cute. Not too cutesy and not super bright colors. More real life and usable for my Midwest life

It's baffling that annual school-themed collections never change: elementary-focused, vintage aesthetic, old-fashioned imagery/sentiments, etc. |

It appears the reference was to the Drinks of Happiness Paper & Element Sticker sheet in the EP - My Best Life collection. Of course, the oversized reusable cups are adorned with flowers in compliance with the industry's current florals trend/obsession...ugh! ETA: Note the same orange oversized reusable tumbler embellished with a blue flower shown on the sticker sheet can also be found on/in Journaling 4x4 Cards Paper, Frames/Tags, & Ephemera. |

I don’t really care for any of these. The travel one is OKAY, but the colors are a bit muddy. They’d probably work well for lake pics, though.

CB - Bloom - Oh my gosh, this is gorgeous. I'll probably buy most of this line. I love it.
EP - Let's Take the Trip - More boring, brown, travel paper. I already have much better versions of this done by other companies.
EP - My Best Life - Pretty colors- I'll probably buy a few of the papers.
EP - Summer Vibes - I'm really intrigued by the colors in this- so different than the usual summer colors. I'll probably buy a few of the papers to experiment with. This is rather daring for Echo Park.
April
CB - Cowboys (by stevenduncandesigner ) - I have no need for this theme but I'll definitely buy a few of the papers for b-sides. My dad always wore cowboy boots so definitely that boot paper, too.
CB - Sunflower Summer - This is pretty but I don't really need it.
EP - Off To School - Oh my gosh, can you get any more boring and cliché? This is terrible. Nothing offensive about it, just boring, boring, cliché, and boring.
EP - Stars & Stripes Forever - Nothing wrong with it but also very boring.
