*NEW* Pretty Little Studio - August release *UPDATE

They’re pretty but a little too busy for me to use for crafting.

Well as you can probably tell, I am super excited about this collection! I will be buying every paper pack on offer, and a lot of the die cuts and stickers. 

I love the colors, and I will almost certainly get that accent pack. I also really like the star and border die-cuts.

There's just SO much, that I find myself first looking to weed out what I definitely do not want. I mean, my gosh, there are 15 paper packs alone! I need a note pad near by to figure out what's what! Which are double sided, which are not, which are specialty papers, which are what size.

I'm not jumping for joy over single-sided sheets, so that also curbs my enthusiasm a bit. If all of the sheets were double sided (of the non-specialty papers), and there wasn't so darn much product, I'd probably actually buy more, as backwards as that may sound.

I definitely don't need any of the cat or dog elements. I love vintage normally, but nothing else about this line makes me want to use those elements with it. But I do like the faux stitches stickers and the star stickers.

I want to love the little alphas, so that they could replace my much adored OA mini market stickers, but I don't love the font on them all that much. And I'm not interested in any of the titles or phrase stickers or die-cuts, either.

So ultimately, while I love the overall bright, colorful look of it, I really don't feel I want to buy that much of it.

LOVE IT! i’m heading over to place a preorder. very fun and different. i love the bright and fun feel. i make mostly mini albums so the smaller sizes look perfect.

I won't be buying it, but I can 100% appreciate the bold colors and cute images. Have fun with it!

Some of the papers are nice. And would work well with VB embellishments I have as well as another summer line.

I like that you can get single sided paper!

Also the dogs in the embellishment packs remind me of dogs from Golden Books.

I like a lot of it, I'm a sucker for rainbow-ish things.

I don't think I need a whole paper collection, but will definitely pick and choose some of this one.  

It’s absolutely beautiful, and I can’t wait to get it!

I like a lot of it, but like others have said, there is too much to choose from! That's not usually the complaint! LOL!
I might pick up a few items just for fun. A lot of the papers are cute!

They print in house, and are printed to order. “Pretty Little Studio is a one woman shop run by me, Melissa Ross, a graphic designer.
Our local print shop prints all of our papers & ephemera.
All products are cut, die-cut and packaged in my studio in South Carolina.” If it’s a preorder, it will say how long it will be before they are able to ship.

You can also get it at Paper Issues after it arrives, and use my code KISHA for a 20% on that order, or any other order you place there.

It's really cute but before I invest a lot of money I would like to know more about the texture of the paper if anybody could please tell me. Is there a difference in the texture/thickness between the single and double sided? Is the paper shiny or slick?

Thanks for the info
