Nothing. Though the Yeti stamp is cute, but I won't buy it.
I used to love Photoplay when it first came out. Now? Not my cup of tea.

It's a no for me.
After so many years of scrapbooking.... so many collections, products, themes, items, etc.... look the same.
Unless, I absolutely love it or it's something different than the usual.....then I pass on it.

I'm glad to see these collections are not as overly vibrant as some of their releases are. There are a couple of cute papers in the Yeti line, I really like the trees with the text in between them, but overall nothing I feel I need to own.

I’m not really feeling these collections at all. I generally don’t need these themes and these feel very stereotypical.

LOVE Yeti! And the blues go so well with snow photos. scrappyrabbit, you need to bring that little bunny up here this winter, we will put her on a sled snap photos all day long, and every one could be scrapped with that line. |

I would love to visit! I actually DO have snow photos from last year when we went to the mountains. But I’m sure I have plenty of snowy paper hiding in all my christmassy collections. |

I like the colours of Yeti, but photoplay tends to go really theme heavy (like the winter "banner" on the sticker sheet. Really cute except...they put gondolas on it. WHY?? Many people can use "winter" but now I won't use it unless we're at a ski resort which is only, like, never.)
Love Notes - no thanks. Don't like just red and pink at all, and again, they've really committed to a theme to heavily for my taste.

Don't like just red and pink at all, and again, they've really committed to a theme to heavily for my taste. They did a line once called Frostival, with a title sized 'Frostival' on the sticker sheet. I guess if you live in the corner of Minnesota or North Dakota where that event occurs it would be nice, but the other 98% of scrappers probably had to google what the heck a frostival is like me:P |

I really like both collections. But, I don't need them. I did add the Love Notes paper with letters on one side and the pretty pink plaid on the other to my cart.

Yeti For Winter - I like the red, white and blue color scheme. That is different than usual for winter. I like this collection- lots of great b-sides and some a-sides that are pretty useful. I'll be buying some of this.
Love Notes - I don't need Valentine's Day, and there really isn't anything in this collection that is interesting.

... I used to love Photoplay when it first came out. Now? Not my cup of tea. If I may ask, what changed your perspective? Before it wasn't so cutesy and bright. Also wasn't overly themed. Now? It doesn't fit any way I scrapbook. I used it when DD was an early teen and I could use a line for multiple layouts. |

I'll be buying some of this. Love Notes - I don't need Valentine's Day, and there really isn't anything in this collection that is interesting. I saw the word "Yeti" and I thought to myself, "Just no." And I didn't look. And then I saw your comment, and I had to look. You are so right! Loving the B side on that Snowflakes paper and several of the others. [But, I'm in the freezer and also focusing on crochet more than paper crafts right now, so I'm not buying.] |

Yeti - This one isn't really grabbing me. Cute idea though. Love Notes - Don't need a Valentine's line but the "Lucky Cherries" paper is super nice. Thanks PaperAngel. |

In the Yeti line the plaid b-side of the cocoa paper is nice. The cocoa side had potential to be cute, but that atrocious red background ruins it.

I may very well never need Valentine's papers again for how little I use it and how much I have.  However, I do really love all of the blues in the Yeti line. And we always have winter photos, so I will almost certainly be buying some of that line. |

I'm glad to see these collections are not as overly vibrant as some of their releases are. ... Same (making it obvious Becky Moore designed neither  )! Per the product images, Yeti For Winter was designed by Traci Smith & Love Notes by Michelle Coleman. IMHO the winter-themed collection is consistent with its designer's style, while the colors of the love-themed line are relatively bold & bright considering its designer's vintage aesthetic. |

... photoplay tends to go really theme heavy ... Agreed, while also appreciating the company's willingness to produce atypical themes - e.g. current events (e.g. Covid, inflation, Barbie), obscure sports (e.g. pickleball, golf) |

I only feel the need for the Be Mine paper in Love Notes with the A-side of bows. It screams December documenting to me. But I won't go out of my way to buy it. If a European scrap vendor has it along other pretties I want, I'll get it. Otherwise, I'm good. Thanks for sharing, PaperAngel ! |
