They are all just too busy for me. Some of the papers are very pretty, and a bunch of the Halloween are really cool. But I couldn't use any of them with my scrapbook style or even size.
The only one out of any of those lines that I might be interesting in buying a few single sheets is the Track & Field one. I could definitely cut down a few of those to work with some photos I have.

The leaves on the b-sides of the fall line are kind of cool. The rest of the collections are just not my style. I wouldn't know where to put my photos on some of those papers.

Autumn Reflections is lovely and has some really nice b-sides. I also really like the watercolour forest line, although I can't imagine how I'd ever use it with the stories and way I scrap. It's lovely and somewhat whimsical, and just speaks to me as art.
Nothing else really appeals and is an easy pass.

Lord my eyes hurt!!
Did they reach back to the 80s and 90s where we would use square grids to design a photo or a kaleidoscope because WOW.
Oh no wait...they photos where you have to go cross eyed and pull back to see the image!!

Nordic Noel. Must have. LOVE those blues! 2nd choice would be Snowfall. Again, the blues.
Autumn Reflections. Gorgeous! Love the hit of teal with the fall colours. The large graphics on the A sides are a bit intimidating, but each seems to leave some space for photos/journaling/adding my own spin on the page.
Bad to the Bone: I don't scrap Halloween that much, but if I did, I would gravitate to this line. A totally different spin on Halloween graphics. Not so much Phantom Grove--two dark and eerie for me...
Colorado: the TREES! Both the evergreens and the birch trunks would make wonderful backgrounds for cards. I get very few mountain pic's to scrap, and already have lots of papers to scrap them.
The Track & Field line is cool b/c there aren't many others out there. If I had someone in track, I would definitely look for this collection. Likewise for My Troop, although I LOVE that green page!
Let's Get Cozy is too much like alot of papers I already own, so have no need for this one.
Christmas Plaid has nice colours, but nothing stands out for me.
Holly Jolly: I like the mint, but nothing here I need to take home.
Although they are pretty, no need for the India line.
The Indie vibe is way too bright and clashy for me, and no idea what I would do with Watercolour Grove.

I like a couple of the Autumn papers.
The rest, is a no for me...either I don't like it or have something similar.
Some of the papers look odd or weird to me. Some of the papers seem crisp and real image and design......but some seem >> not sure what to call it??? >> altered, cloudy, slightly distorted, the design and image seem like they were enhanced with a photo editing type program (where the contrast, brightness, and the color can be altered)....not a crisp real image.
Not sure if I am correctly explaining what *I* am seeing.
The "water color", isn't what I consider to be the look of water color. It's more patterned paper than water color.
Reminisce is usually one of my favorite brands. This time, not loving the releases. I wonder if they got new designers.

I appreciate they have not used the same old over-used icons. But, the styles are not for me. The exception is the skeleton B-side paper from Bad to the Bone. I love that.

Nordic Noel is very magical.
I like the Watercolor Forest too.

Autumn reflections - the Bsides are mostly very usable and the sticker set is versatile, I think. The Asides are pretty but not usable for me
Christmas Plaid - I like some but not all of the papers. The sticker set isn't for me
Colorado - I have no need for but I like
Let's Get Cozy - this one looks usable also.
My Troop - there are two papers I like and while I personally won't use them - I DO appreciate that they included the older girl insignia not just Brownies and Daisies.
Nordic Noel - beautiful but not for me
I don't personally care for the two Halloween collections but it IS nice to see a different take on Halloween - less cutsie and orange
Snowfall - there are a couple of papers I would consider picking up - the trees and the cardinals. If I had snow photos, I do like the rest

Colorado: the TREES! Both the evergreens and the birch trunks would make wonderful backgrounds for cards. Oh, I do recall loving those two papers, too! In fact I was thinking the tree one would be great with some holiday tree cutting photos. So thanks for the reminder. By the time I got to the end of the list I had forgotten about those papers. |

Autumn Reflections - I need this. This is gorgeous. I can't wait to get it.
Bad To The Bone - Yes! I need this, too. This is the kind of Halloween stuff I like. I especially love the skeleton over the fence. I'm planning on doing that this Halloween.
Christmas Plaid - The buffalo plaid animals are kind of nice, but overall, kind of boring.
Colorado - I don't have any need for it. I do like the birch and the pine tree paper, though.
Holly Jolly - Boring
India - I don't need it.
Indie Vibes - Nope. Nothing wrong with it- just don't need it.
Let's Get Cozy = Boring
Let's Play! Track & Field - Don't need it but appreciate it exists
My Troop - I was looking for a Girl Scout paper the other day. My sister works for them. I'll probably get one piece.
Nordic Noel - I'm a sucker for blue lights paper. I'll get this.
Phantom Grove - This is nice, but not as good as the other one.
Snowfall - I'll get the deer paper, of course. And that snowy scene with the tree is gorgeous. I love it.
Watercolor Forest - This is such a different style of art than I've usually seen. I like it. I'll probably get the house paper just to see what I can do with it.

There are a few papers I like here and there but Reminisce is hard for me to get by the single sheet. I do like Watercolour Forest and some of Autumn Reflections. I also like the Halloween lines, but would likely struggle in using them.

I love the variety of themes. The papers are harder for me to use, but those Halloween papers are fun to look at!
A must for me will be the Colorado line and possibly the watercolor forest. I'm headed to Rocky Mountain NP tomorrow and having some different park lines to chose from works for me.

Oh no wait...they photos where you have to go cross eyed and pull back to see the image!! Some of them are super bright. And yes, I do get the magic picture vibe or whatever they used to be called. I really find that I require a lot of "almost solids" in a collection--patterns so slight they could easily be a background paper without competing with anything, and their patterns don't fit that need for me at all. Plus the images that require you to use an entire 12x12 sheet as a full sheet never work for me, either. Some of those type I could have used if they had offered a sheet with 4x6 or 3x4 versions of the same images. But again, I'd still need some more subdued patterns or solids to coordinate with them. |

Yes! I had books and posters. They were super easy for me to see. I could find them only in framed posters. Something about the glass helped me. But the books were an absolute no-go for me. Could never see them in the books.  |

The whole page papers are really challenging but I've found I can even cut them in pieces to make it work. They aren't easy papers to work with- it forces me to think totally out of the box. |

If I scrapped Halloween these two collections would be in my cart so very fast! They are soooooo my style!
The Watercolour one reminds me of “Ben and Hollys Little Kingdom” - a uk cartoon.
I would use most of these papers more as dividers in my tn sized albums than as 12x12 papers - so I wouldn’t put a photo on them but would use them to create a resting spot for my eyes, a title page if you will, or to split up stories.

Wow, that's a lot! While most of these are not my style there are a few that I really like: Autumn Reflections - I have no need for this but it is a lovely collection. Bad to the Bone - My favorite of this list. It would be great for older kids, teens, adult Halloween. Or for scrapping scary movie nights. Nordic Noel - How beautiful. Don't know how I'd use it but it really catches my eye. Phantom Grove - Another great spooky line. Snowfall - Very pretty, esp. the cardinals in the trees pp. Watercolor Forest - So different. I don't know why but I love this. Thanks for showing us PaperAngel. |

Autumn Reflections - this is so pretty! I like the watercolor effect of the papers. And the stickers are a nice, usable variety. I already have enough Fall, but I may pick this one up.
Bad To The Bone - I love this!!! It is so fun and different! And, different colors than usual. I have absolutely NO use for it! But, I will probably buy it anyway! LOL
Christmas Plaid - I find this kind of ugly.
Colorado - Don't need, but I like that they are covering all the states.
Holly Jolly - Also kind of ugly.
India - Don't need. Nice that they are covering different subjects though.
Indie Vibes - I'm sorry, but I really think this one is ugly! Definitely not my style.
Let's Get Cozy - A good basic fall collection. I don't need it, but I think it might be good for others.
Let's Play! Track & Field - No need, but again, happy that they are covering different topics.
My Troop - Same as previous.
Nordic Noel - I like a few of the papers. I usually decorate my tree in blue and silver, so these papers would be nice for a few of those photos.
Phantom Grove - Again, I love that it's different. Not something I can use though.
Snowfall - Really like the cardinal paper and the deer/tree paper!! I will definitely use those. Don't like the sticker sheet though.
Watercolor Forest - Definitely not my style and I think it's kinda ugly too. Good for those who like it and want something different.

Wow, so many different and new things, I really appreciate that. I wish I had the track and field when I did my child’s high school album, those are great papers.
I love the cardinal paper, I have some fun photos in mind for that.
I think I need to go through it all again. I could envision using some of these lines to cover a mini book or use in a way that shows the page by itself, like a divider page, as someone else mentioned.
