I like True Colors. I am trying very hard to be good and not buy more paper, but maybe a sheet or two wouldn't hurt  I can skip all of other others. I have enough Simple Vintage and 49 & Market (very similar to due overlapping past designer), and I don't need any of the smaller niche collections. |

I'm kind of interested in that VHS tape in True Colors...

Another tick from me for True Colours. I will probably buy that one when it's released as a digital kit.

True Colours is the only one that really interests me.
I find the choice of icons for "fresh air" challenging: cartoony sunshines with faces, then more realistic flowers and chickens?? And why always gardening tools? I only garden a bit...and I don't scrap it! Gonna add the gardening tools to the list of "enough already!"
Vintage Spring is truly and completely NOT me.

I'm a sucker for the floral papers in Fresh Air and the colorway of True Colors. Do I need the two gradient striped papers? No not at all. But will they inevitably end up in my paper stash? ..probably  |

I'm wondering if the fresh air collection will coordinate with hip hop hooray? The colors look similar

Sadly nothing. I’m thinking I may want to go through the current releases and see what I can fill in with. None of these new options are hitting the mark for me.

I like the B sides on a few of the cut-apart sheets from Remember and I also love the B side of "Life in Color" from True Colors, because I'm just a sucker for an all-over star print.  |

I like the ginghams in Simple Vintage Spring Garden and some of the b-sides from True Colours

I think I am thrown by the names of these collections. None of the colours in True Colors appear to be "true". They seem washed out and have maybe a grey tinge? I think I should look more closely at the B sides. I like the starry pp, wendifful. Maybe there are others. The Easter icons are whimsical and cute. |

I noticed SS collections have repeated the colors of light aqua, pink, and mustard lately.

Remember - I keep going back to look at this one. Can't decide but I think I like it. Fresh Air - Mostly "no" but maybe a coupla sheets of pps. Spring Garden - Love the ginghams. This reminds me of some of the old MME Wild Asparagus lines. True Colors - I like the gradient teal stripes as well as the pink gradient stripes. Also the B-sides with the jacks and the large numbered background. Valentine's - Don't need this. St. Patrick's - " Easter - " Thanks PaperAngel. |

Usually I skip spring lines without even a slight hesitation, but I'm definitely going to need a bit of Fresh Air and Spring Garden.

Really adore the ginghams from the Spring Gardens line. The rest of it isn’t really my style but I’ll probably grab the pack of ginghams.
True Colors reminds me a lot of the vintage like they did last year. It even has some of the same images in there. Pass, because I ow
The other collection.
I like that the St. Patrick’s Day line doesn’t use Kelly green like so many do. This one is different. I might grab it for kid pictures in the past.
Valentine line is pretty basic and looks like a million others. No thanks.

I like True Colors enough that I may pick up the paper pack, which I almost never do. None of the rest of them are really grabbing me.

Remember - I really like the colors in this one and a lot of the patterns. Not sure about using it as a memorial collection though as it feels a little too "romantic" for that. Just my opinion. I'll probably pick up a few of the papers.
Fresh Air - I like the chickens and the suns. Not sure why.
Simple Vintage Spring Garden - I usually like the vintage collections. Don't like the papers in this one at all. But, I do like a lot of the icons, ephemera etc. I will probably pick some of them up to mix in with other collections. I like a lot of the images for pages about my garden and stuff.
True Colors - I was surprised at how many of you said you like this one! So...I had to go back and look at it again. But, nope, don't like it. There's just too much pink and too much aqua/teal and it's just too much of the same!
Valentine's Day - no
St. Patrick's Day - no
Hoppy Easter - no

I'm wondering if the fresh air collection will coordinate with hip hop hooray? The colors look similar Agreed. Both Fresh Air & Hip Hop Hooray appear to have a vanilla base & similar colors. Given its a popular color palette with Simple Stories, select pattern papers & embellishments from various collections would likely coordinate/match (especially if you're not opposed to mixing white & vanilla/off-white/cream)! |

I like the floral diecuts from Remember, and maybe the blue paper with the mini flowers.
I don’t care for much of Fresh Air. It also bugs me when they put a lot of the same images in the stickers and chipboard. I only need one.
I don’t care for any of the Vintage Spring Garden.
True colors is OKAY. Not something I’d take out my wallet for.
I don't have a need for any of the last three collections.

... I also love the B side of "Life in Color" from True Colors, because I'm just a sucker for an all-over star print. From the True Colors collection, this same pattern in pinks & orange is found on the reverse of the 2x2 - 4x4 Elements Paper & small wonky stars of various colors on a charcoal background is on the reverse of the This Is Me! Paper. Note there are also various star patterns in upcoming Echo Park/Carta Bella releases (see January, February, & March/April). |

I think I should look more closely at the B sides. I like the starry pp, wendifful. Maybe there are others. The Easter icons are whimsical and cute. So I think this line is an 80’s theme if I’m looking at it right. True Colors is a song by Cyndi Lauper that came out in the 80’s and I can see how it fits. Simple Stories is one of my favorites, but the only one I’m actually feeling is true colors since I was in middle school and high school in the 80’s |

I like the Remember line. It's weird cause it is NOT my style but something about it is very appealing. It might be the muted tones of it. I always hit and miss with Simple Stories. Some lines I love and some I just don't get it. I'm not sure I will pick up all the pieces to Remember but maybe a few to male 1-2 layouts.

Remember - ... Not sure about using it as a memorial collection though as it feels a little too "romantic" for that. ... IMHO it seems incredibly "old-fashioned" & feminine with the abundance, style, & colors of florals, butterflies, & (often flower-adorned) phonographs, cameras, & office supplies (e.g. typewriters, bookplates, labels, tabs, bullnose clips). |

These mostly seemed pretty pink or pastel-y to me. Some of the papers in Remember are nice, but nothing I need. I usually really like Simple Stories, so I am kind of disappointed. Maybe I just have too much of it already.

True Colors would be great with my middle school photos. But then, so would half a dozen collections I already own  Otherwise, for the most part these don’t fit my style or type of photos I take. Thanks for posting them! |

True colors should have brighter colors.
Remember is a nice color scheme but a little too floral for me.
The rest are meh.
