25 & Peppermint-
I like it better than the other Christmas line, and it is what I expected from Frank Garcia.
I hate the cream base though. If it were white and pink I'd be more interested.
That being said, the pack of die cuts with the deer is an absolute must for me. I'm just going to have to pair it with papers from another line.

The 25 & Peppermint is cute.
I won't be making a purchase, because I prefer red and green for Christmas.

I like some of the 25 & Peppermint line for some heritage photos. I'm normally not a fan of so much pink, but it works for those.

PaperAngel I love a good pink Christmas line, but this one is not for me. I don't care for the vintage elements, except for the the deer. I'm with artbabe - they are cute!

I love the b-sides of 25 & Peppermint. I have such a soft spot for the combo of pink and red. I doubt my LSS will get this, but it would make some beautiful cards, and I would definitely use the b-sides, but I don't need them.

I love the 25 & Peppermint collection! But I used something very similar last year with lots of pink. I don’t want to do that again but I’ve been making cards for such a long time that I am bored with the more traditional lines. I feel like It’s all stuff we’ve seen before. Making Christmas cards is my favorite! But im struggling to find anything that I like so far.

... the cover sheets for their paper pads is actually part of my issue with the company as a whole. ... Prima instead does that off-set diagonal cut to show off each set of 2 patterns, and for whatever reason, my eyes/brain take that and see just a splotch of colors all mixed up together without really seeing any patterns at all. And even if I click on the thumbnail to see the larger image, I still have trouble sorting out the patterns. Since paper is my favorite supply of all, the fact that it's hard for me to digest each line as a whole really make me less likely to even look closely at their offerings. I just see that "splotch" and think "Oh, gosh, no." and I move on. ... Agree, Prima paper pad covers (e.g. From The North Pole) show a confusing jumble of busy patterns (that I also do not bother to further investigate). |

The tags on the pink one isn’t awful for some vintage photos of me as a girl…but the 1st one is awful in every sense

From the North Pole - I will pass on this. Don't really need any of it. 25 & Peppermint - This line is really pretty. It will be harder to pass on this but I really need to use the Christmas supplies I have. Thanks for showing us PaperAngel. |

I had a doll like that... I do think you fall into either the nostalgia or creepy camp with these types of images...depending on what you watched, or were exposed to. I don't have any nostalgic feelings towards them, just horror movie vibes and dark attics and I could go on and on lol. My fave Christmas line was the Vicki B. one that was (I think) 3 ago....not the one now, or the one before, but before that. Warm Wishes I think it was called. |

Thanks for your responses. Like Linda, I appreciate the various holiday styles/color palettes/etc. but am not the target audience. Nothing is added to my wish list. |
