... I would love a home theme that isn’t farmhouse kitchen. ... This seems to be one of those unwritten industry guidelines. |

I might be in the minority, but I'm happy to see that Simple Stories seems to be moving away from the retro/ boho mustard yellow/ pink & teal collections like just Beachy, true colors, Noteworthy, What's cooking, retro summer, flea market, trail mix etc. ... Same; I detest the yellow. |

... Front Porch looks an awful lot like the gnome paper they had several years ago (super cute though). ... I associate gnomes with Photoplay, plus one holiday collection from Echo Park. Do you recall the name of the SS collection or paper? TIA. |

Do you recall the name of the SS collection or paper? TIA. SS had one a long time ago that was a spring gardening type collection with navy blue and gnomes. The color scheme was similar to this. I can't remember the name, but hopefully someone else will. www.franticstamper.com/Under-the-Stars-collection_c_6382.html |

Do you recall the name of the SS collection or paper? TIA. I trimmed off the branding strips! Here is a picture though. Maybe Bloom and Grow?  IMG_0045 by Nancy Tim, on Flickr |

I love Snowfall, parts of Front Porch,
I like the aspects of the Color Vibe calendar, but I'd rather just have 12 separate 12x12 calendars to add to an album rather than taking a calendar apart.

The only one I like is Fresh Snow. But since it never snows where I live I’ll be passing on buying anything.

Thanks for your responses. I neither create calendars or pocket scrap nor gravitate to vintage or old-fashioned/country aesthetics. Although liking the color palette of the Heartstrings mini collection, I dislike the patterns, especially the irregular/handdrawn illustrations/fonts & abundance of florals. While I also dislike the flower-embellished office supplies & faux layered imagery (e.g. Ephemera) in For The Record, I appreciate its versatile multicolored thin stripes & wide stripes, ledger, & tags (specifically, the non-themed tags on reverse - & wish the multicolor plaid was also available in a 12x12 sheet!). I'm especially disappointed this release does NOT include stencils; I'm hoping they are not discontinued! |

I'm relieved to realize I don't need any of this. It's all nice, but not urgently compelling.
If I still lived in the mountains of Utah, the Simple Vintage Fresh Snow collection would be really tempting. I love the blues and greens and those cute deer motifs.
