I was hoping they would put out a new Christmas line this year. I love it all, especially the gold puffy titles.

I do not like that color combination. Cocoa Vanilla has been a miss for me lately.

I like the ephemera pack. I don't mind the colors but IMO they remove the holiday theme from the florals and the wreath paper.

I think it is wonderful that an Australian company is reflecting the colours of an Australian Christmas! I like that page with the 2" squares. Every one is different, and they would make fun accents on pages or cards.

I'm a very traditional red/green Christmas person yet I absolutely love the peachy colours in this collection

Well, shoot. I love it! I'm pretty sure I'll be buying it. I have used up a lot of my Christmas stuff with card making.

For me the colors are more subdued than I look for in a Christmas line.
However, if I liked those colors, I would definitely buy the 6x8 pad, just because a lot of those papers have one side that could be used outside of just holiday LOs/cards.

I like the color combination, but not for Christmas. I do like the flower die cuts.

I don't like it at all.
I don't care for the colors, they do not look like "Christmas" colors to me.

Meh.
It reminds me of Pinkfresh. I like some of the lines but not the holiday ones. I guess this one would be “Peachfresh”.

I really love parts of this line, and there are parts I'm not so excited by. The papers are mostly not my thing, at least not for Christmas, except the stars on the b side of the cut apart sheet, I could build my whole album around that one paper.
I really like the peachy tones, it feels like a warm Christmas, but I normally gravitate towards soft warm pinks in my Dec album anyway. I love the floral pack and the gold puffy words and the puffy stars and dots and may pick up some of the other embellishments as well.

Like grammadee , I appreciate the color palette reflects holidays in the southern hemisphere & other warm temperature places. However, I dislike the Crate Paper-esque hand-drawn illustrations, non-symmetrical geometrics (e.g. grid, stars), scrawly font, gold embellishments, etc. TFS. Meh. It reminds me of Pinkfresh. I like some of the lines but not the holiday ones. I guess this one would be “Peachfresh”.  |

"Peachfresh"  that's too funny ComplicatedLady! I really like it! Of course I do, it's not using traditional Christmas colours that I dislike so much.  It's just a shame that CVS no longer offers digital kits, otherwise I would be buying most of this. |

I don’t really need this one, either. If anything, I’d grab the floral diecuts and the puffy titles.

It looks way too similar to their previous releases, but too much warm pink/peach for me. I will probably pick up the puffy stickers, title thickers, and that b-side star paper to help round out what I have of their other collections. Probably a good thing it’s a pass for me, since I’m trying not to buy new Christmas collections and use some of the bajillion I already have.

It's quite lovely but I have no need for any more Christmas supplies. It does seem like it would be perfect for Christmas in warmer areas where there is no snow.

I like it, but I wouldn't use it to scrap our Canadian Christmas photos. I think I'd use it for visiting Florida at Christmas, or when my son lived in Australia last December, though.
I love the illustrations, and the gold puffy titles are awesome.

I think it's beautiful and it reminds me of Crate Paper as well, but too peachy for me. I need at least traditional Christmas red and a good Christmas green in the line. I'm ok with other supporting colors, but I need those to be the backbone. I am always drawn to how beautiful Cocoa Vanilla is but it's completely not my aesthetic and I have a hard time working with it.
