I do not love this, and I will not make scrapbook pages with this. Cards maybe. It would speak to some of my more traditional Christmas card recipients, but I would see if another line ticks that box first.

I like the addition of the golden yellow to the traditional red, white, & green color scheme. And I do generally enjoy plaids & polka dots. But that's all I can say that's positive. The pea green seems a bit overwhelming in the papers, and I while I love vintage, the embellishments here are actually too vintage for me. I mean Victorian era's more like antique, right?  So, no, I have no desire to buy any of this. It's starting to seem miraculous that I ever buy any paper at all.  |

I like the yellow polka dot for non-Christmas pages, but otherwise I didn't need to see anything beyond the preview to know this is way too vintage and not at all my style.

Not my style but I do appreciate the bigger variety of color combinations and styles vs Echo Park's holiday release with all traditional red & green

It's an OK collection; looks vintage-y. Just don't need it. Thanks pantsonfire. |

This color combination is not my favorite. I like that green shade on its own, but with that gold color it is not appealing at all.
I will get every piece of paper that has those deer on it, though, because I love deer and really like the realistic style in this. The deer are to die for. I don't like the poinsettias though. I usually like poinsettias and these look like they are dying or something. Too limp.
So I probably won't get any of the embellishments because I'm not a fan of most of the images except the deer. The Santa is okay, and Santas usually creep me out.
And on a general note about Simple Stories:
Every time I see a Carta Bella or Echo Park release I'm underwhelmed. Every time I see a Simple Stories release I can't wait to buy it. There is usually something in every collection I like, and in some collections, like Snow Pine Lodge and Scary Stories, I must have most of it. And the Disney lines are always so fun. Somehow Simple Stories designs lines that are much more interesting for me and usually include something that I've never seen before. Their embellishments are also so much more useful that Echo Park's are.

Hmmm - It's a miss for me, but only slightly. The colours: not *quite*, the green is a little too drab, the gold is not yellow enough? The icons: I don't like the Santa and I don't like the birds, but I like the deer and greenery bits.
Overall, this isn't one I'd add to my already massive Christmas stash.

I am also into the golden yellow polka dot paper. It’s different for Christmas and I like that. I want it and the plaid with the yellow barfy green and red- love that one lol!!! I would grab a couple sheets of this if I was already buying paper.

I like a lot of this, although I don't need it, and probably won't get any of it. Well, except the deer paper! I do really like that. Personally I like the addition of the khaki/brown and the golden yellow. I think it's a nice change.

I think the only way this could be less like my style is if they somehow incorporated pink into it.
I can see why some people may like this, but I am not one of those people.
