Overall I don't often buy the Simple Vintage lines for my scrapbooking, and I think I can easily pass on both of these. I like the Walk in Nature Paper from Meadow. I can see that these lines would both be very pretty for cards. I will see how creative I am feeling when my LSS gets them in.
I like Crafty things, but have some papers from previous collections so I don't need this, and I can also pass on Father's Day.

I like the colors in Linen Market - especially the gingham papers. I'm not sure I have a need for this collection but I'm considering another trip with my bestie to the Pioneer Woman's town/store/lodge and these papers would be great for that.

I really like the Meadows line - love butterflies and dragonflies
I don't care for Linen Market but can't quite put my finger on why not.
I don't scrap enough crafty layouts to justify a new collection but I don't particularly love this anyway
Fathers Day was a surprise - I like the more modern icons mixed in and the papers. I'm a solid maybe on this one.

I like a few papers from the first 2 collections listed. Might add them to my cart and think on it. Very pretty

The only thing that I'd be interested in is the cut apart from Father's Day, I would use it to make a card for my dad because of the saw pun.

I generally don't buy the vintage collections, but I LOVE the Meadow Flowers. I'm going to have to get a good bit of that collection.

I like a few things from each of the vintage lines, but not enough to get excited and run out to buy it! LOL!
I like the addition of black to the crafty line, but why the pastel/washed out colors otherwise? It seems like all the crafting lines are pastel-ish.
I do like the Father's day line. The cut aparts and stickers would make some good cards.

I'm not usually into the Simple Vintage collections but I love Meadow Flowers and Linen Market. I love both collections and will probably buy a lot of them.

None of these appeal to me. I am not into their vintage collections. I don't scrap crafty things, but I do like the color scheme of that one. The Fathers Day collection is not for me.

Is ACOT not showing both sides of the paper or is that what SS provided? I hate not being able to see both sides of the paper and not seeing what is inside the ephemera packs. Flame me if you will but ACOT seems to be slipping.

Crafty Things and Fathers Day won’t work for me.
The Say Cheese line reminds me of those Jolee stickers at Michael’s. The travel ones had countries’ flags and iconic tourist sites. Passing on this line too.

They might not have all pictures up. I heard from another online store that they are not even supposed to have it up yet. Simple Stories did not give anyone permission to list them until tomorrow. Tomorrow is the actual day stores can release photos and have them available for preorder. I bet there will be more pictures on other sites then. |

I noticed they don't show what is in the ephemera packs either so I will check back tomorrow on other sites too. |

The Simple Vintage lines are definitely not my thing and I have no need for either of the other lines. How do we feel about SS including images of their packaged products in lines though? Like three of the 4x4 squares on this sheet of paper and the mini brad pack on the brad pack. I know Doodlebug have also done it, but I'm not sure when I'd ever use images of their packaged products in my scrapping. I hope this is not a trend that continues. |

I like Linen Market, it's fun and pretty.
I like the colors of Father's Day, but why do all Father's Day collection have ties?
Crafty Girl is fun but I really don't need more scrapbooking collections.

I don't like it. Their previous crafty line had some (obviously to me) stylized Distress Ink with cute names. I used that on a layout about scrapping with my friend, but that was still quite a bit more generic than this. I would never use those items. |

That... is honestly one of the weirdest things I've ever seen in a scrapbook product. Why would you... ok you know what, I refuse to spend any more time thinking about this one. All of these collections are a no from me, just not feeling it. Edited to add: also wheeeeeeeee another vintage truck with something decorative in the back! Oh wow something new and different! |

Why would I put a 50% off planners "patch" on my scrapbook page? |

Quickly glanced at scrapbook.com and they show both sides of the papers and what's in the ephemera packs. ACOT is getting sloppy.

While the SS website has not yet uploaded the upcoming releases, I just looked at the Coming Soon section at SB.com which is showing both sides of the individual papers & ephemera contents. I updated the links in the OP. ETA: Quickly glanced at scrapbook.com and they show both sides of the papers and what's in the ephemera packs. ACOT is getting sloppy. Great minds!  |

The patches bits and pieces are just plain weird. Why would I put a 50% off planners "patch" on my scrapbook page? Scrapbook supply costs (discounted or full price) are not something I chose to document. See the second image here showing the entire contents of the pack; there's not one patch that I would consider. |

There's quite a bit to like from the Vintage Meadow & Vintage Linen lines. I wish I had a lss so I could look at these close up.  Thanks PaperAngel. |

I liked a few things. Especially the foam words.
Honestly, there are so many new products(not just simple stories) and collections to view, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed and like I can't keep up on it all. I stopped looking and will look more in a few days.

Honestly, there are so many new products(not just simple stories) and collections to view, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed and like I can't keep up on it all. I stopped looking and will look more in a few days. I can relate & choose to quickly survey the release before purusing the collections more closely in small doses over a couple days. For me, the overwhelming (& frustrating) part is seeing the same typical vintage &/or feminine/floral collections repeatedly, especially since nothing or only a couple pattern papers or a stencil ever gets added to my wish list. |
