I love Pinkfresh stuff, but I really wish they'd switch to 6x8 pads. I made a decision at the beginning of this year not to buy anymore 6x6 pads because I don't reach for them as a 6x8 scrapper.
I'll prob pick up a few 12x12 sheets and I'll get the alpha stickers as I use a lot of alphas, but I think I'll end up buying less Pinkfresh this year. I bought almost every collection last year and I tend to cut up 12x12 more often than I use the 6x6.

I like the puffy title stickers.
The rest of it, is a no.

Love the graphic design and the green of the “feeling inspired” paper. I wish there was a whole line centered around that. That single piece feels like the PF of yesterday. The PF I loved before they went all pastel and floral.
Between the two new releases, I prefer this one for some of the bold, graphic papers. The alphas are a great color. The stickers sheet really highlights the two different color palettes that are being used.

I don't like this line as much as Making the Best of It, so it's an easy pass for me.

I’m torn about this one. I really like the green of inspired but there are other pieces in the collection that I just don’t get. Maybe it’s not cohesive to me.

If that green floral were wallpaper, I’d be tempted to cover my whole house in it. 😍

This collection doesn't have any flair, and I like the other collection better... so probably a pass from me.

I LOVE the colors and a lot of the embellishments. There is minimal words! I much prefer images.

I buy their 12"x12" papers and cut them to the size I need them to be, but they do a lot of engineered designs that are meant to be 12x12 and don't work well at 6x8. That said, I feel like this entire collection looks usable for the way I scrap. I want it all!! |

Given the company offers supplies for cardmaking to scrapbooking, it's surprising they don't offer 6x8 either in addition to or lieu of 6x6 (since 6x8 can easily be trimmed to 6x6)! |

Really good point, PaperAngel. Beyond what you said, people can cut a 6x8 paper in half and make 2 cards, with nothing wasted. I don't usually make 6x6 cards; I typically cut a couple of inches off my 6x6 papers, if I'm going to use 6x6 papers. |

I exclusively scrapbook so had never thought about the efficiency of two cards from one sheet of 6x8 paper. It now makes even less sense a papercrafting company that caters to cardmaking & scrapbooking would not offer 6x8 papers! |

I just noticed the front side (florals in envelopes) of the Happy Place paper does not appear on the cover of the 12x12 & 6x6 Paper Packs; rather, blue/orange/pink houses on a dark teal/green background is found on the third row between the floating icons & starburst patterns. Wonder which image - paper packs or individual paper - for the Happy Place pattern paper is correct?

This one is a smidge better due to the brighter colors. I’d definitely use the Thickers.

I like the brighter colors. I really like the ombre puffy title stickers. I might pick up a few pieces.

I love Pinkfresh stuff, but I really wish they'd switch to 6x8 pads. ^^ Adding my name to the petition! There are a few sheets of pp I like, and I always love their mini puffy alphas - they're just the right size, and give a colour assortment without being a rainbow. Pink fresh comes up with a few phrases that I think are fresh and cool - on this one, there's a sticker tag that reads "Rule #1, you gotta have fun". I think that is so versatile. But do I want to buy a whole sticker sheet for it? |

But do I want to buy a whole sticker sheet for it? If the rest of the sticker sheet/ephemera/etc. is heavily themed or otherwise unusable for me, I choose not to purchase them. Instead, I maintain a list of sentiments & computer generate/print them onto solid cardstock to create a label, word strip, or other embellishment. You chose the font, size, ink/paper colors, etc. & can reuse it! |

This collection doesn't have any flair ... The chipboard flair seems popular based on comments on this board & how quickly it appears to sell out at online. I wonder why PFS choses to exclude it from certain collections. |

Thanks for your responses. I dislike the bright yellow, abundance of florals, terrazzo pattern, hand-drawn lines/fonts, etc., so nothing from this collection is added to my wish list.

Since I'm not a digital scrapper, I wish Geralyn Sy/IACB collaborated more frequently with PFS ... or, ideally, IACB offered physical supplies! |

I like a few papers enough that I would want them in 6x6 to use in project life, but I don’t think I will go out of my way for it. If I saw it in my LSS or was already making a purchase online I might grab it. Always love the mini alphas but I would only purchase with a discount or sale. Pinkfresh collections seem to stick around for a while so I usually wait until I see it on clearance on their website or get a grab bag. I just picked up almost the whole flower market collection on their website for $1-$3 dollars for each item.
