Having just attempted to use a Pinkfresh yellow floral paper the other day I don't think this collection is for me. This is also another collection without chipboard flair. I think I'll pass.

I think this is a pass for me, the colors aren't quite what I like. I do love those vellum pockets though. Also, I've used the chip frames in the past and they are all curling on my layouts. Big bummer.

I like it. I meant the papers.

I really like it, other than the saccharine sentiments. PF colors always work with my photos and those vellum pockets are nice!

I used to love everything PF put out. But over the past 2 years, almost all of it feels very much the same to me. The exception being their travel line and the blue and green collection (too lazy to look up the names). Pastels and florals are not my jam. So I’m sad to say this one is probably a total pass for me.

Not what I was expecting to see at all. Based on the collection name "Picture Perfect", I was expecting a collection about >> photographs, memories, selfies, capturing the moment, filmstrips, polaroid frames, cameras, etc...
I will not be purchasing any of this collection.

I agree ScrapbookMyLife, I expected a photo-centred more neutral coloured collection. This is typical floral with overuse of the word "favorite". I can't use that spelling and don't like the phrases anyways. Very floral and soft and typical PF. Not for me!

I like a lot of it but it looks so much like all the other pinkfresh supplies in my stash. I don't need more of what I'm already not using fast enough.

Easy no for me. I don't like the colors or the style. I agree, breetheflea - PF yellow is a difficult color! ETA: I thought the collection would be at least somewhat related to photography, memories, etc. Disappointed that it's so generic and floral. I do wish more collections would put vellum pockets or other elements in - love me some vellum embellishments.

I love their papers and designs but nothing new under 5he sun here.
I do like that they have a Spanish language version. One way to attract more people to scrapping and card making is to target new demographics.

Add me to the list of people who expected a more photo centric collection. This is perfectly fine but there's nothing that I feel I really need to own.

I don't like Pinkfresh's floral papers. This is not appealing at all.

Sounds weird to say, but this is just too “happy, cheery, sunshine and flowers” for me. My life just isn’t this style.
I prefer their autumn, neutral palette.
I also don’t like when the title of a line isn’t reflected in the products.

Historically, it appears PFS breaks from its repetitive feminine, floral, butterflies, & pastels or brights to offer a collection that is graphic & non-floral with a cool color palette only once per year - e.g. Tourist Mode (2023) & Simply The Best (2022).

Note both of the collections in the PFS - February release include vellum: - Floral Vellum Ephemera from Making the Best of It (linked/discussed HERE) - Vellum Ephemera Pack from The Simple Things (linked/discussed THERE)

It’s okay. I like PF sometimes, sometimes it’s too frilly and pastel. I could use a few bits and pieces, but it’s not my favorite.

Yellow is my least favorite color. IMHO the citrine shade that dominates this color palette is especially challenging!

Thanks for your responses. I dislike the citrine yellow, florals, faux cross stitching, etc., so nothing from this release is added to my wish list.

Love this collection!!! I am enthralled by the paper that looks like a quilt top.
I am consistently able to use that vivid yellow because I have about a zillion pics where that color is pretty prominent. My husband used to have a pair of shorts + some mountain biking gear in that color, plus the color shows up frequently in the wildflower pics I took around my uncle's place in years past. That said, these floral papers are a no-go for my husband's mountain biking pics. In a past collection, PFS released book rings in the yellow color, and I snapped up a bunch of those when they recently had 'em on sale.

ITA with everyone's comments. the yellow is hard and pastel/florals are a pass for me. love the dark blue colour, wish there was more of it.

I like both of these collections. I won’t be picking any up because it looks like the PF I already own. My 15 year old daughter who loves pastels right now is going through a “no photos please” phase. That leaves my nephews and almost 4 year old niece to scrapbook. I’m not feeling this for them.

Interesting that those are my two favorite collections by Pinkfresh; I think that going back to the drawing board where scrapbooking is concerned is a good idea for them. Although I am a little surprised about this release, somehow I didn't think they were having any more scrapbooking releases, but maybe just this one and then no more while they are on their break?
