*NEW* Crate Paper - July release (holiday)

Yeah a lot of these look like papers weve seen before. Boring.

You know, I like some of the papers, I really do, BUT I just already have so many papers that look like those.

I have no idea what percentage of scrapbookers are new to the hobby. And maybe these companies are catering to them, thinking they haven't seen all of these same type of things before. But for those of us who have been at this for decades, now, it's just harder to put something out that's new.

And yes, eventually one might run low on holiday paper and need to buy more, BUT, again, some of use have been buying more than we needed for quite some time, too. So that isn't a real problem for us yet.

It's not for me

I like this quite a lot. I do wish it was more of a blue-red instead of the more orange-red, but I think the line is cute. I have some older PinkFresh Christmas and I am hoping they work well together as I would like to pick up some of the embellishments.

Crate Paper has always been my favorite for Christmas lines but this really fell flat for me. Nothing special or different. It doesn’t really look like CP to me either. Maybe I’ll feel differently if I see it in person but it’s kinda meh. I do like the gingerbread alphas and I have the sheet from Paper Person’s baking collection a few years ago. They’re really cute on pages but I’m almost out so I would pick those up if I see them on sale or in store.

We have a family tradition of brunch and cookie decorating with my adult children, their spouses and our (1 so far!) grandchild.

I need to live another 20 years to use up the amount of Christmas stuff I have.

But I am *SO* buying a couple sets of those cookie thickers!!🥰

I like the Santa paper with black, brown, and white Santas, but the rest of it is just meh for me.

I really don't buy Christmas paper, I just rarely have anything to scrap with it since my family doesn't do much for the holidays. But! I really this paper! It's so cute, I could see myself using it to make cards.
