I am not feeling this one, I don't know if it's the hand drawn wonky style or the random items on a white background.

Should blend with some older SS fall collections, I like some of it.

Thank you for posting the picture in the thread!  I like this one - I think it’s cute. I pretty much like all the paper except the mushrooms. I really hate mushrooms. |

The blue paper with the apples, mugs and pies looks perfect for LOs I still have to do about trips to a local apple orchard. Some of the rest of it would work well too, but not enough to get the kit.

I feel like they're offering so many lines that statistically I should like more of them. But no.  |

I truly love fall paper, and I really like this, but I don't think I like it more than what I already have in my stash. I still have Cozy Days from a few years ago in my stash and I should probably use that first |

I actually really dislike this. I was dispointed, with a name like cider and donuts I thought it was going to be about the apple orchards and fall treats and not so brown. Instead of being bright and crisp it feels dirty and scribbly. Edited to add, still has all the trite sayings, so very blessed, hello Fall, Gather. Blech.

I dislike the hand-drawn illustrations, non-linear patterns, & trite sentiments. TFS. ETA: I feel like they're offering so many lines that statistically I should like more of them. But no. Same |

I was hopeful based on the name it would be brighter. It's fine but doesn't suit the types of photos I take. |

I have way too much of this theme right now, so it's a pass for me.

I like this and am happy to see something more like their older style of collections. Not a fan of the recent ones with the retro colors - teal blue, mustard yellow and pink
It reminds me of the baking spirits bright collection from a few years ago. Wonder if it's the same designer?
I personally like the whimsical style but agree about the trite sayings. I especially dislike blessed. Fortunately, Simple Stories seems to have a better balance of embellishments with words vs icons, florals etc. Recent Echo Park collections seem like the majority of the embellishments have words

I really like the pumpkin paper, both sides. Reminds me of the Le Creuset pumpkins you can get as either a small coquette or Dutch oven.

I do have many photos from cider mills and pumpkin patches each year, so I too was hopeful based on the name. I think I finally figured out part of my issue with this line--every single paper feels very busy to me. I like to use what I call "almost solids" in my layouts---papers that function much like a solid could, but while still having some degree of textured look or a tone on tone print that you can just barely see. And nothing here really fits that bill for me. |

Not really for me. I guess I don't really scrap that much centered around Fall. I have plenty of papers that are similar to this so I can't see buying this one. Thanks for showing us pantsonfire. |

Thank you for posting the picture in the thread! I like this one - I think it’s cute. I pretty much like all the paper except the mushrooms. I really hate mushrooms. And I don’t care for anything EXCEPT the mushrooms! To each their own! This feels just like the Cozy Days collection from a few years ago. I still have a bit of that collection and I’m not a huge fan of the papers that are just scattered random icons and florals. I love florals, but I’m picky about the style and colors and these just aren’t it. Probably the reason I still have the collection from several years ago. |

This is pretty, but I've seen a lot of the same stuff before. I do like the chipmunk- I haven't seen that animal in a line before.
If I didn't have a huge stack of fall paper, I would probably get it. Nice but not exciting.

Like others, I don't like the wonky drawings and art work. I like the mushroom paper and the florals, but not enough to make sure I buy them. I also have Fall pictures of the orchard and cider and donuts, but I don't really feel like these pages work for them.

I actually kinda like the wonky art, but a lot feels too brown to me. I might select a few papers and 1 pack of ephemera, but I'm also not great at scrapping "autumn" so won't need much. It definitely will mix in well with old Simple Stories fall lines - and I have plenty of that already!

I have chipmunks pics from this month, so maybe I need to go consider a little something from this line.  |

Pretty cute! I love the colors, and the floral bits, and am glad there are not 500 pumpkins in it like one of their previous “floral” packs. No one needs 500 pumpkins. LOL
