Thanks for your responses. I find this collection too vintage, old-fashioned/dated, pre-distressed, scenic, etc. Nothing is added to my wish list.

but overall? it's too dingy beige for meI really hope that "vintage" look is not coming back to take over the paper industry. I like that there are images and backgrounds that would work with college/university student pages, but that "dingy beige" just makes me sad...My thoughts exactly.
It does not look like a celebration paper. It looks depressing.

If I wanted it for school photos, the I would love that it doesn't look like it's meant for kindergarten. Because there are already so many of those out there.
But even if I don't want to use it for school/college photos, I do like the colors & patterns on some of the B sides quite a bit. I like the softer brick red and the dark sage sheets. And I love the dot & chevron ones, too. They are so much more subdued than any papers I typically see in those patterns.
I could see several of them being great for photos taken on a hike, and some for a day exploring an urban environment.
And I do like the elements on the front of the chevron paper if I wanted to go with the actual theme.
So, yeah, I can see myself buying some of the papers from this line.

I noticed the message about an error on the rub-ons, but I'm on a desktop so I can't zoom in to figure out what item is misspelled. Did anyone else notice which one was wrong?

It's not for me. I do like the washi, but it seems kind of expensive - $5.99 for 2 6x12 sheets.

At a quick glance, I noticed in the lower right corner, "Triumph - BE SO GOOD THEY CANT IGNORE YOU," is missing an apostrophe in the contraction. |

It’s “graduation the fututre belongs to you” that is the misspelling referred to, I think. The missing apostrophe seems like a font choice. |

"Fututre" is likely the misspelled word referenced (& IMHO the lack of apostrophe in the contraction is another spelling error - & reason to choose a different font)! |

As a former English teacher, I CAN'T accept that a missing apostrophe is a font choice.  I would have to add all the little apostrophes in. Of course, I wouldn't use the paper with the misspelled "future" at all. In any case, though, I wouldn't use this collection. Even when my daughter was in college, this line just wouldn't have represented her or her experiences. It's too old-looking. |

I've only purchased a few sheets of 49 & Market papers in the past (great quality) but I'm not a "gotta have it" fan. The only papers in this collection that I would consider buying are the brick and the one with the numbers on the B-side. I do like the laser cut ivy but not enough to buy the entire pkg. I already have so many of these vintage style pp-s that I really don't need any more. Thanks for showing us PaperAngel. |

If my kid went to Hogwarts, this paper would fit well with the dark and old vibe. Alas, he did not.
I like the book paper.

I really like three of the papers and the washi tape. Most of the patterns are way too big for me. It's too bad there isn't a 6x6 or 6x8 pad available.
ETA: I think I'm an outlier. I really like dingy beige especially when it come to vintage. This line has a slight dark academia vibe.

There is a 6 x 8 pad available, and being a card maker, I just might have to buy it! I have two DGDs graduating college/university next month and I can see myself using these papers. I actually love this collection! |

This collection offers a 6x8 Collection Pack, which "includes 24 sheets (2 each of 12 double-sided patterned papers) plus 2 extra patterns on the inside of the cover sheets." HTH |

I just received my Academia purchases yesterday, and I found them to be brighter than I expected in general. The brick wall and books had a bit more of what I might call a dingy look to them, but I didn't feel the others had that look, personally.

I actually like this collection. I went to college in New York so I would use it to scrap that. There’s not really any good college lines out there. I have a dream to one day scrap my college photos…. One day….
