Marry me - pass. Would love to see a wedding collection with navy blue & no pink
Our happy place - too pastel, pink & flowery for me
Chilling with my snowmies - cute! Adding this to my wish list
Winter Wonderland - pretty, but it seems similar to one of last year's collections, at least the color scheme
A Vintage Christmas - maybe? I really don't need Christmas, but this color combination on Carta Bella paper might be hard to resist. I like collections with a. little black mixed in and I like the houses. The floral paper is really pretty.

I quite like the two winter collections, and the colours would work for my photos. I don't need any of the snowflake papers or embellishments, but there is probably enough other stuff in both of them for me to buy the digital kits when they come out.
I really like Our Happy Place, and will probably buy that when it is released as a digital kit.
The wedding one is pretty, but I have no use for it.

Since I live in Australia it NEVER snows so I have no need for my of those winter themed papers. I do like some of the solids in the wonderland collection

There are a couple of b sides that I would consider, and I like the book paper from the home line, but everything else is an easy pass.

I got my 100 ACOT points looking at all of the new releases.
Echo Park
Chilling With My Snowmies - I like that there are colors added to the typical blue winter lines. It is okay, nothing really interesting.
Our Happy Place - I like a couple of the papers.
Marry Me - I don't need it but I find it really boring. I'd like to see a wedding line with brighter colors. Do people still do pastel weddings?
Carta Bella
Winter Wonderland - Super boring.
Honestly, most of Echo Park and Carta Bella looks really dated to me. They've been releasing the same kind of stuff for years. They release so many lines, you'd think they would experiment more with styles. I like Simple Stories because they are all over the place- I see fresher designs and color palettes with that company.

Marry me - pass. Would love to see a wedding collection with navy blue & no pink ... IMHO it could be paired with any color(s) & used during any season (or, for me, used on a variety of non-wedding layouts!). I wish scrapbooking supplies included more navy (& light blue - i.e. true blue, not aqua & other shades). |

Both CB & EP solids are described as "heavy-weight, double sided paper." The EP solids that I've purchased in the past are the same weight & smooth finish as the EP patterned paper. Is the CB solids the same weight & textured finish as the CB patterned paper? |

PaperAngel-the CB solids are sort of textured- like their patterned papers but a bit less so if that makes sense

I like the colors in this line, but just don't need it. It's not new and inventive, and I'm pretty sure since I like those colors, that I've already bought similar product sometime.
Marry Me is pretty, but no use for it.
The winter lines aren't needed because we don't get much snow anymore.

Well, I actually like quite a bit of Our Happy Place. It's a little too pastel, but I like a lot of the images and patterns and it could be pretty usable.
I also like the florals and navy blue in Winter Wonderland. It would make really pretty cards if nothing else.
Otherwise, hard no on the others.

I do like some of the solids in the wonderland collection I'm not a theme scrapper, so I often buy a multicolored plaid, stripe, &/or dot patterned paper (if the style is NOT wonky/asymmetrical) + solids from collections with desirable color palettes. |

IIRC I've NEVER been to a "pastel wedding" (assuming you mean all attendants are wearing pale colored dresses/suits)! Pastel is definitely still a wedding color palette. I am in a wedding this July and my bridesmaid dress is the lightest pastel purple imaginable. Green is also very in style for weddings, as reflected in this collection. But the green paired with baby pink is not that cute haha |

Egads that was bad. I just never see a scrapbook wedding theme that isn't boring. There has to be some way to make it a little different and interesting. |

There has to be some way to make it a little different and interesting. This is why I haven't scrapped my wedding yet! It was in the fall, with oranges/yellows/reds/browns and to throw a wrench, it was at the beach so finding a beach/fall themed line is impossible. That being said, I agree about pastel weddings, the last pastel wedding I went to was my friend in college in the early 90's and every wedding since then has been richer tones vs. pastel. I will definitely be passing on this wedding line. |

I'm not into any of these, especially not the peach and sage in Marry Me. Although I will say that, we usually receive some Echo Park in our Crop & Create event boxes, and I typically like the papers better in person than in the online images.
