I could see buying the A5 paper pad. The theme isn't one I would have use for, but I like enough of the "solids" & small patterns to at least pick up the smaller paper pad. (Also, I am now singing Edelweiss.  ) |

Oh the blues! And that shade of peach! Love it! Probably too flowery for me, but I am sure I can use some of it for pages, and most of it for cards. Reminds me of one of their collections I grabbed up a few years ago and used in precious little pieces until it was all gone...

It's pretty.
I like the chipboard words and a couple of the papers.

IMHO it is too feminine, floral (with requisite butterflies), faux watercolor pastel-ish, & similar to the company's previous collections (e.g. Heart & Home, These Days, Daydream). TFS.

They do such a great job with their masculine collections but I never really like the flowery, girly ones. There isn't anything wrong with it- it just doesn't grab me.

I don’t need most of it, but will most likely get the floral diecut pack, puffy alphas, chipboard, and the puffy hearts.

Reminds me of one of their collections I grabbed up a few years ago and used in precious little pieces until it was all gone... The peach caught my eye as well. Along with that aqua color, the denim & burlap/woven one, and the yellow gingham. I'm such a sucker for yellow gingham.  The other pastels and the birds and flowers I would likely save for cards as well. |

I love this. That peachy color. I love peach and mint green together.

Totally not my style or my color scheme.
I’m hoping the next one is more my style because I really like some of the Cocoa Vanilla releases.

Lovely! Their more masculine collections are my absolute favorite, but this is very pretty.
I'm wondering what the other collection will be. Fall or Christmas? I would be really excited to see another masculine one, but they recently released great escape.

I have never been drawn to their feminine lines but oh their masculine lines are awesome!!
Really hoping for a great new masculine line for the next release tomorrow!

I too adore their more masculine lines and have used them more than I've used the soft/floral lines, but I own them all. This one feels similar to previous, but it is beautiful and I'll likely buy some, especially the puffy alpha.

I can see the appeal for many, but the colors are too washed out for me.

The designs remind me of some of the AC papers, in a good way. I love the color scheme and I don’t have any collections in these colors so I’ll definitely be picking up some of this.

This looks too much like some of their other collections for me to want to take closer look. I have a hard time with the desaturated look.

similar to the company's previous collections (e.g. Heart & Home, These Days, Daydream) That was my first thought too, similar to some of their older collections I already have. |

I find that to be a recurring thing with Cocoa Vanilla. So many lines have the same basic patterns, just in a slightly different array of colors. For instance, the large flowers are similar from one line to another, and as you said the butterflies. And with the non-floral lines, there are stars over and over again. And I really like stars, but even I don't need as many as they include in multiple lines in a row. |

I love the bright colors! I think I want the A5 paper stack. I'm loving the puffy hearts too.

I was hesitant about this line based on the name alone but there are quite a few things in this collection I really like. She's definitely rehashing patterns, but I still love the tiny hearts paper and the random pink dots, and the woodgrain and cut apart are both lovely.
I love all her floral packs so will definitely pick this up along with the puffy hearts and the tiny alpha. I was surprised by the naked chipboard words and am not yet sure how I feel about them, we're definitely coming full circle in trends though.

Oh I LOOOOOVE this so much!! Yes it does look similar so some of their other stuff, and similar to some Traci Reed stuff, but that's okay - all the more to mix and match!
But alas, no digital option for me.

I hope their next release is masculine. This is a nice Spring collection, but not really a subject I scrapbook, and “Bloom & Grow” sentiments are so trite and overused. |

I would probably buy a whole pack if she released woodgrain and stars! |

It's really nice, and I like the pop of turquoise in this one, better than some of the older collections I have which are similar. My favourites are the puffy hearts, the alpha and the paper with the tiny hearts. I'm hoping my LSS gets this open stock so I can pick up just what I "need".

So pretty! It is similar to other releases but still a lot to love. I too wish for another masculine collection. Thanks Chinagirl828. |
