I can see me buying some of the Paige Evans collection, I like bright and happy and flowers. 24 papers is a big collection, too much for somebody like me who already has too much paper.
The Maggie Holmes collection I will pass on but I know she has her fans so it may do well. Some people may appreciate the dark greens and more muted tones.

The MH line is fine but doesn't excite me at all.
I will likely pick up a couple of pieces from Paige's line, I think the ticket paper would be versatile for the way I scrap. Travel lines are definitely my weakness but overall my style is not a great fit with her aesthetic so I'm happy to pass on most of this collection.

Ha- I’ll be the dissenter
Paige’s collection looks just like all her others to me but I really like the muted colours in Maggie’s
Variety is the spice of life 😜

Paige’s hotel fob charms are calling to me. I’ve never bought that type of product before, but those are really cute. Has anyone purchased charms from her before?
I like her collection too. The colors are bright and a lot of the B sides would be versatile, not just for travel.
I don’t live MH’s as much, the peach and yellow never work for my photos.

I put the Paige Evans ticket paper and the orange floral paper in my cart. I don't have much orange and the 2 sides will go together really well.
The Maggie Holmes line is not my style.

I feel like Paige's line is something we've seen before with the exception of 2-3 papers. There are a couple pieces that caught my eye, probably the first time I've liked some of her collections in years.

Has anyone used a charm stapler before?
I wonder if I can buy the embellishments and just stick them on with adhesive.

I’ll most likely pass on Paige’s. We don’t have any upcoming vacations so I don’t see myself using it anytime soon. I’d probably grab it if I had the use.
I am not a Maggie Holmes fan but this one does appeal to me. The colors are my style. Also I feel like the ephemera is usable without any really odd animals.

I like the Paige Evans collection a lot! There is a lot of pink, but I love the blues, aquas, and purples in the collection. The mini alpha Thickers, enamel dots, trims, and chipboard embellishments are my favorite pieces in this collection, along with papers 21, 13, 8, and 6.
The Maggie Holmes collection is muted and has a softer color palette but there are elements I really like. The typewriter key Thickers enamel dots, ephemera icons, and frames are usable. I also like Gathering paper, Curated paper, Seeking paper, and Just Like Today paper.

I have never purchased a Paige Evans collection in my entire life (so many flowers) but several of the b-sides in this collection are going into my cart.

Solid no in MH.
Paige isn't doing anything for me. I like a few of the B sides but won't pick up any.
I do like the smaller alpha stickers though. If available next time I place an order, I might add them to my cart.

Paige Evans + Travel collection = YES PLEASE!! I've already placed my pre-order at ACOT.

Maggie's collection is totally my jam, love pink and green. It's lovely.
PE - Nope, looks like every other collection I have of hers, sitting unused.

I'm never really interested in Paige Evans collections.
I'm a sucker for Maggie Holmes collections, though. I like that this one has a warmer look.

I watched a youtube video on the $25 tool that you need to buy and yes, I think it would be very easy to cut some slits with the xacto and bend the edges over. Or just fold them over and stick them on with red line tap. I'm not buying a $25 tool right now. But I will be preording a few pieces from the line. |

I bought the ones from her Christmas line and they were great. They were on paperclips so easy to remove and put where I wanted. I also didn't like the way some of the beads matched the charm so I swapped them out using pliers. I'll definitely be getting these. I think they're really fun. |

The charms look like they have a little claw clasp, at least I’m hoping they do. They will look nice on 6x8 albums, I think. I’m putting them in my cart with several of the papers and the journal embellishment pack.
I read through the comments and I love how most like one collection over the other.

I like a few of the papers from Maggie Holmes. I like the phrase Thickers from Paige.
Just not a fan overall of collections that are coming out these days. There hasn’t been one in a LONG while where I think I need ALL of that. Let alone half of it!

Adventurous
I like the die cuts and the phrases....will be ordering both.
I rarely use stamps, but I like the directional sign that is included in the set. That has inspired me to look for a directional sign die cut that will fit in my sizzix big shot. If anyone has one to recommend, please post the link here. Thank you!
I didn't care for the Forever Fields.

I like a lot of Paige's collection, but I tend to be drawn to bright & colorful collections in general. I want the 6x8 mini album for sure!
The MH collection feels like it would have fit better coming out in 2020 when cottagecore was on trend. Feels like a throwback to the Magical Forest collection. I wonder if they would coordinate.

Has anyone used a charm stapler before? ... I was unaware of its existence until your post! Per the WRM Charm Stapler release video ( here), it is "launching in April." Neither ACOT nor SB.com appear to currently have it coming soon or in stock. |

Paige Evans - Adventurous - There are a couple really nice papers, the flower ephemera, and the mini alphabet that I like. I'll definitely get some of this but I think a lot of this is just repeating her old designs. Her aesthetic is so narrow that all of her lines look alike. I'd love her for step out of the box a wee bit. I'd be interested in seeing what she would do with a boy line.
Maggie Holmes - Forever Fields - ugh, no. I have two Maggie Holmes lines and that is enough to last me forever. I do not like this color palette either. The only thing that looks tempting is the alphabet.

I really love a lot of Paige's b-sides, and will pick up many of the ticket paper too.
I'm with others on the Maggie line - far far far from my style and too muted.

These 2 collections surprised me. I usually don't care for Paige Evans' style but I found several pp-s that I liked as well as some the emb. And while I usually find Maggie Holmes' collections somewhat pleasing, this one really doesn't ring any bells for me. Maybe a couple of pp-s. Thanks for showing us PaperAngel. |

I’ve never bought any Paige Evens designs only because she sells from her own site and I just never go there much. I really like this collection and will pick up a few sheets as well as some embellishments.
No to the Maggie Holmes collection. Not my colors or style.

You can purchase Paige collections from any paper crafty store that sells AC. She doesn’t have exclusivity on them. ACOT and SB.com sell her collections, for example. |
