My initial thoughts are that I probably shouldn't look at these.  But I'm still going to!  ETA: ***Ok, kidding aside, the albums are 12x12, so those are a very simple "no" for me. ***The alpha rub-ons remind of the old Making Memories rub-on alpha packs that I used to adore. I won't complain if they keep offering more of those, even if none of these fonts scream out to me. ***Rust & Revs: I'll definitely buy some single pages. I think the themed embellishments and stickers, especially are very cool, but I just don't have a need for them. But some of the b-sides on those papers are unlike anything else I have, and I think they would definitely work well with some pics I have. ***Vintage Orchard: I like some of the stickers and just a 1 or 2 of the papers. It's different, which I appreciate, but it doesn't fit my own pics. So, all in all, I'm feeling a bit relieved sine 49 & Market has had a tendency to suck up decent chunks of my budget in recent months. |

Vintage orchid is pretty.
I don’t have a need for the second one. I don’t need the second one, and it’s a bit too vintage for me. I don’t need the album.

Love both collections - won’t buy the whole thing but can see myself getting random papers in the future - rust and Revs is earmarked for pages about my deceased grandfather as it is perfect!
Can’t remember who it was but she did a motorcycle album for one of her hubbys trips and I could see her using this as well - it was an awesome travel album even if you’re not into road trips or bikes!

***The alpha rub-ons remind of the old Making Memories rub-on alpha packs that I used to adore. I won't complain if they keep offering more of those, even if none of these fonts scream out to me. Absolutely that was my first thought too! I still have them...although they dried out and don't work... I do like the "swooshy" font. I may pick up a few sheets of rust and revs, but the theme is way off for this household of nerds! And the orchard one is just meh to me for colour palate, just not my thing. |

Vintage Orchard: I like the chipboard words.
Rust and Rev: I like the die cut elements , laser cut elements and several of the papers.

I also immediately thought of the MM rub on alphas and I quite like all of these so I might add them to my wish list.
Rust & Revs is not my thing. I like a couple of the papers in the Vintage Orchard line that I may or may not end up buying.

The rub-ons look cool. I still have a lot of the MM ones, and they still work! The papaers aren't anything I would use. I'm hoping for brighter colors next time, like in their older lines. (Not that they're that old.)

I'll probably buy some of both. There are elements to the Rust & Rev line that I really like. I plan to take a road trip this fall and stop at some LSS, so I'm waiting until I can hopefully see them in person.

I really like Rust and Rev but the a-sides don't look like they would translate well to 8.5x11  Agreeing with everyone else on the rub-on alphas... Vintage Orchard is a wee bit too vintage for me |

I like both Vintage Orchard & Rust&Revs - will probably buy a few sheets of each. The "swooshy" alpha looks good but it's a little expensive for my budget. Thanks for showing us PaperAngel. |

Vintage Orchard is a wee bit too vintage for me I think you could cut them down and it wouldn't be too bad. Especially the B sides and some of the all over patterns! Or, could you use the 6x8 pad and mat them on bigger papers? Just a thought. |

Vintage Orchard - I love the fruit laser cuts and the solid burlap look paper is the must. I only like a couple of the patterned papers. I do like the rub-ons in this line. The acetate is a maybe.
Rust & Revs - It is very tightly themed, but I do like it. I'll probably get most of the papers and I really like the die cut ephemera.
Rub-Ons - These are really nice, both the letters and the butterflies, etc. I'll probably get one or two of these.

I like a lot of the Rust & Revs! I do a lot of masculine pages and cards and I can get a lot of use out of this. Plus my Dad is a motorcyle/rust/gearhead type of guy and so are a couple of our friends. I won't get it all, but definitely some of the papers and the laser cuts.
I Love Vintage Orchard!!! It fits with a lot of my Fall photos. Especially the actual orchard type patterns. Apples etc. And, I like that the coloring is Fall, but not FALL. I think you could use these papers for other times of the year and other themes. And that Woodgrain?! Gorgeous! I'm really excited for the laser cuts with the rakes and boots and stuff because that actually looks like Fall around here! LOL! The rub ons will be fun to have too with the background designs!
The alphabet rub ons and the albums are a pass for me, but still a neat concept.

Yes love both lines
Oh those do remind me of the MM rub-ons.. I still have a bunch and they work great.
The albums, eh..
The cute little bags are adorable (I saw some in real life recently) while I would love to have them, I don't really have that much of a use for them.. although bags of any kind sometimes is my downfall.
I would pick up stuff from both lines but not the whole she-bang.

I feel like the b-sides of Rust & Revs are the perfect example of a company creating a very specific theme, but then making the effort to make that line also work for other uses. They could have added car/travel motifs to every b-side, as I've seen other companies do with theirs. But instead, if I saw just these paper sides, I doubt I would have guessed this particular theme. I might have guessed some sort of rustic farm or country theme instead. Patched denim overalls, barn wood, flannel shirt, and some gears from machinery.

I like some of the b-sides of Rust and Revs...I was going to skip it, but when I took a closer look at the backsides I really like some of them. I don't have a use for the embellishments though.
I'm relieved to report that I don't care for the Orchard line...finally a fall line that I don't need at all!
Count me in on liking the rub-ons. I had some from both Making Memories and Gin-X. I will definitely be picking out one font to try.

I really love the colors of the solid papers in Vintage Orchard, but I don't like the way they look like pictures of linen.

I have a giant stack of 49 and Market, so I'm glad these don't appeal to me because I can't keep up with their releases. My sort of local LSS sells this brand, and I tend to change my mind when I see it in person...

Thankfully nothing really appeals to me. I still have a couple of their collections I’m working my way through.

I really like Rust and Rev but the a-sides don't look like they would translate well to 8.5x11 ... While I echo babylou 's suggestion of 6x8 paper to get the correct scale designs, I'm always surprised companies don't make 8.5x11 papers. It seems a lost opportunity to not only satisfy existing 8.5x11 scrappers, but also snag other groups of customers who use standard office/school/presentation binders (e.g. students, professionals). |

I like the colors of both lines. I think the Rust and Rev is awesome for a more masculine line. I love 49 and Market, but for now can't see getting any of it. I'll see it in my LSS and fall in love with some of it, I am sure.

Rust & Revs looks AI generated (eta: to me!). The text on the signs, etc., is bizarre. |

But I'm still going to!
