For me it is mostly Meh.
There are a couple papers that I really like (Love letters and Reception) from A perfect match and Seed Packets from dreamer. I think I might try and make the reception paper with mixed media. My money is pretty safe from these two collections though.

My fiancé and I got married December 9th, and I will probably pick up A Perfect Match.
I like a few pieces of Dreamer: the purple Thickers, enamel dots, and the Stamps, Stamped Hearts, and Mint Lilacs papers.

Dream is so not my cup of tea.
Match - have zero need for.

Though I like the colors the prints aren’t for me overall. I like stamped hearts from Dreamer.
A few from a perfect match may make it into a future cart. Maybe the inks cause that’s what I really like out of the collections.

I really like the Vows paper from Perfect Match. Depending on what the text says (or how readable the text is) I think it would be a really versatile background. The b-side of Endless Love is also a great background. Otherwise I don't have too much use for the collection even though it is pretty. I don't think Dreamer is for me, although like boymom5, I like stamped hearts. The stamps paper is also pretty and I might buy one sheet. |

I like a couple papers from each, but that's about it. The colors in Dreamer are lovely.

I'm really underwhelmed by both of these. I like the text print paper in A Perfect Match but I wouldn't buy this without knowing how legible the words are and what they say. Everything else is a super easy pass.

I like the colours in A Perfect Match. Love both sides of the Reception paper, might get that.
The dreamer line is way too pretty for what I scrapbook.

Eh, we are entering in to the time of year that I don't like most SB collections. IMHO January collections are just boring.

I actually like a lot of A Perfect Match. I'll probably pick up some of those papers. I like the alphabets too. Can't go wrong with gold or silver.

Not a fan of either.
Why have "phrase thickers" suddenly become more like a sheet of random stickers?
I prefer phrase thickers, that are the bigger sized words all in a row..... and words only, no extra stuff added.

I like the colors in dream. The floral prints don’t do much for me but I do like a lot of the B sides.

Wow. I couldn’t even look all the way through Dreamer. For my taste, it’s awful.
A Perfect Match is okay, just not for me.

Dreamer - No for me - so much purple!  Perfect Match - I like this line; might have to buy a few pieces of pp and maybe the alphas. Thanks PaperAngel. And congratulations craftymom101. |

I like the stamped hearts paper in Dreamer. I am usually team 'more purple' in scrapbooking (school colors for two of my kids) but this shade isn't my favorite.

Dreamer - I like the colors but not the patterns so much
A Perfect Match - still using up old wedding collections that I overbought so don't need more, although some of it is generic enough to use for other things besides weddings

I've noticed this as well. I like the big words, too. I don't mind a few hearts, etc. added but lately the phrase thickers aren't phrases at all. I love Dreamer, A Perfect Match is boring. |

Thanks for your responses. I'm not the target audience of American Crafts pattern paper collections & especially dislike the cheap acrylic stamps, ink cubes, die sets, overabundance of florals, color palettes, gold accents, outdated/old-fashioned aesthetic, etc. of this release.

I do not like Perfect Match at all.
Dreamer is pretty, I like the color palette. I would readily use it if it were in my stash. But it doesn't inspire me to purchase it. I definitely don't feel like I am missing out not having it.
