I love a pasteloween theme, so I will definitely be getting Lil' Boo Thing. The name of the collection isn't great, though.
The 'Iconic Boo & Eek' stamp set might be cute. I'd want to see it with the layers stamped together.
The rest are an easy pass.

I love the pink Halloween collection and could use some of it as I have the cutest pictures of my daughter with pumpkins and Halloween stuff wearing pink which I found hard to match with the traditional orange/black Halloween themed products.

I quite like Lil' Boo Thing even though I have no need for it. The others are all an easy pass for me.

Well while Holly & Ivy has the basic red, white, & green look that I don't go for, the Lil' Boo Thing certainly breaks out of the mold of traditional colors! Now, I don't actually need pink in my Halloween supplies, BUT, here's a theme where several of the papers can be used for other things very easily--either just the B side, or in a few cases, both sides! To clarify about the Holly & Ivy, it's not just that it's only red & green, but that there's not even a few different shades of red & green, kwim? I just like a bit more color difference in a line. So Creepin' It Real is one I like due to it not only having the addition of teal (and tan/kraft in a few embellishments), but also a few different shades of orange, too. I also like the style of the images--to me they found a nice balance between cutesie & macabre. It also has the slightest vintage feel, without jumping heavily into that style, too. So yeah, overall this is my favorite of all of the Halloween lines we've seen so far.

Nothing speaks to me. I love pink, but not for Halloween.

Creepin' It Real - I like this- both the colors and style of art. I love the ghost that are wearing flower print sheets. That is really fun. I'll probably get this one.
Lil' Boo Thing - I love that they went there with the pink. It would be really nice if you were scrapbooking little girls dressed like princesses and other things like that. I don't need it- I have the two retro pink Halloween collections from Prima, so I have plenty of Halloween pink already.
Holly & Ivy - This is really boring.
And epoxy???! Why is anyone still making epoxy?

I like Creepin' It Real...similar colour scheme to the new Simple Stories Halloween. I don't have much of a need for Halloween paper, but this is really cute. If my LSS did PhotoPlay by the single sheet I would pick up the stickers and the plaid paper.
Lil' Boo Thing...this is cute but I have no photos for it.
Holly & Ivy...very traditional and a pretty easy pass for me, although I do like the cut apart sheet with the 3x4 and 4x6 cards on it.

The Santa in Holly & Ivy is very Coca Cola Santa.

Uncertain whether the collection name was inspired by the Paul Russell song from last summer ( video), but the song has been running through my head since posting the collection!

Oh those Halloween lines are beautiful! I don't need any more Halloween items but I'll have to pick a few pieces of these. I don't care for the "Holly & Ivy" collection and have no need for the epoxy or folios. Thanks PaperAngel.

The Christmas collection would be good for anyone who wants very classic and traditional Christmas. Not for me though. I like the pink Halloween! I have no need for it though. I like the Laugh/Laughter stamp sets! Probably will pick those up. We can all use a little more laughter in our lives!

“Boo Thang” played in my head the minute I read the name! I’m a pastel gal so I really like the collection. I also appreciate the inclusion of somewhat current sentiments.
I normally steer clear from Halloween lines because we did the whole family theme for costumes for so long. It makes it really easy to scrap pictures without using Halloween themed product. Everyone’s grown now and I no longer have a dog to dress up, but I have plenty of unscrapped photos. I might put some of this on my wish list!
The other lines don’t appeal to me.

PhotoplayI agree with artbabe manufacturers need to stop with the epoxy. It turns yellow. We know this. They know this. In my opinion, selling it to unsuspecting buyers is unethical. I'm not into any of these lines, but I love when manufacturer's take a risk and try something new. Lil Boo Thing is something I haven't seen before, and I appreciate that. I would use the pink plaid and black/pink starlight paper in my everyday crafting, but that's about it.

Lil Boo: DD, now 17, was a cowgirl for Halloween when she was in preschool. Pink dress, hat, and boots... I don't think I'd rescrap the page, but maybe... I will have to go look at what I actually used the first time, it was definitely not orange, black or purple Halloween paper.

Wait...You still have an LSS!?! I miss the in-person supply shopping experience - perusing entire walls bursting with a rainbow of Bazzill cardstock, aisles filled with multiple racks of patterned papers, pegs full of embellishments & tools, etc. <sigh>

It also happens to be my favourite. I am very lucky.

The closest one was over an hour away and it was a tiny place that didn't last long. Thank goodness for places like ACOT & Scrapbook.com & (back in the day,) 2Peas, because I have always had to buy my things online or else at places like Michaels & AC Moore (before that closed, too!)
