*NEW* Fancy Pants - July release (incl holiday) *UPDATE2

those are...some colour and icons choices...

not for me

Just nope.
A collection with fish AND horses in it?
Love the colours of the Halloween collection but the icons and patterns are… nope.
And the autumn collection is a no as well.
The pictures are just so weird and don’t go together imo.

Their last few collections have been odd, I don't want to see another scrapbook company go out of business.

I don’t hate the Halloween line…I don’t usually like any Halloween lines. The rest was a complete miss for me. Who is the designer of this wreck?

Everly Lane - There are some pretty images here. I can see buying a few sheets to use for collage or cut-outs. But really, what is this line about?
Amber Autumn - Not even a little bit.
Halloween - Not for me.

Thanks PaperAngel.

HALLOW'S EVE: This is finally the right Halloween line for me. Unusual colors, unusual designs.

And with teen sons who put themselves in charge of all decorating for Halloween the last several years, our house typically looks like Halloween just exploded---they care not for theme or style. So they'll put up my vintage stuff right next to super realistic creepy stuff right next to super cheesy creepy stuff. And this line is just that--a bit creepy, a bit vintage, and with grungier colors than most cutesy Halloween lines have.

As a bonus, I have some photos of a giant luna moth that I have not scrapped yet, so this line will work so well for that, too.  (And I think some of these would be cool saved for going to see Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice when it comes out.    )

I will not only buy a lot of this for myself, but I will probably buy extra for my son, who does multi-media art. I can see him creating some cool stuff with a few of these papers too.

Big love for this line from me.

EVERLY LANE: At first I wasn't sure what was happening with this line, but then after a moment I started to think journals or cards. But especially journals. You have a large variety of colors, themes, imagery. I think If I bought any of this, I'd cut the sheets down into separate images right away, and then basically use them all as bases for journal pages, cards, or embellishments.

So often I complain that lines are too specifically themed---well I certainly cannot say that about this one!

I feel like this is the line that will turn up in a YouTube video of someone making an art journal, and people will be asking where they got all the different great images, and the person will tell them that they all came from one line and the person asking will be amazed to hear it.

It will definitely add variety to your available images.  Need a map?  Here you go!  A botanical?  Yep, got that too.  Macarons?  A horse?  Balloons? A fish?  All there!  I think that could be super helpful for making cards because then you'll have cards in such a wide array of topics to choose from when giving one to somebody.

Is "scarey" a British spelling?  I swear I do see it spelled like that sometimes.

"Punky" in this setting makes me think of how some people say "punkin" instead of "pumpkin".  

I don't get the Cool Krisp Air, either, though, because if you're going to go with "K" spellings, then why wouldn't it be Kool Krisp Air?

This is what excited me most about these.  Not only are they different, but at least with Everly, they seem to be acknowledging that we don't always use these papers as a full 12x12 sheet.

So even thought I don't think I'll buy a whole lot of Everly or Autumn, I do like that they are really different, and I hope there will be people out there as excited by those lines as I am by the Hallow's Eve, because if these lines do well, then maybe we'll see more different things---although not necessarily all different in this same way. 

I kind of like the Halloween. It's different. And with only 5 papers, that narrows down the choices and makes it much easier for me that sometimes ends up with a bunch more than I need because I can't decide. The other lines? Nope! They are weird too, but not in a good way. At least in my opinion.

It's a pass for me.

Everly Lane screams junk journaling. The random images remind me of the Antiquarian Sticker Book.

I like the colors in Amber Autumn, but not the style of the paper. The texture of it feels BG. The actual illustration is just okay. The alpha stickers included in the sticker book aren't great. There are two stickers on the same sheet that both say "baby doll". Why?? There's a sticker on the 6x12 sheet that reads "fabulous festive faLl" - one capitalized "L", and one lower case "l" - what!? This collection feels sloppy - like they pulled it together in a day with AI doing the heavy lifting, no proofreading and here we have it. This one misses the mark for me, with the exception of the foam stickers - I do like these.

Hallow's Eve is interesting. I particularly like the "Friendly Faces" patterned paper and the ephemera pack.

I like Hallow’s Eve—interesting colors and it’s got some cool designs and items that I like. I like it more and more the more I look at it.
The other two are not my style. Not my colors or designs.
