Pretty. Even though I don't usually like yellow, Blossom Serenity is nice. Photographer looks good for older photos or travel. TFS.

I just added the Dino Chippies to my cart. Dd is studying Geology/Paleontology and has a volunteer position at our local museum in that department. For her birthday we are going to a Jurassic Dinosaur exhibit and then giving her a membership to the Natural History Museum where Gnatalie is now on display (all green dinosaur due to minerals from water new site).
So those will come in handy.

Mintay isn't really my style, but sometimes I pick up a few sheets of the paper to use to make cards.
The Blossom Serenity is very pretty and I will probably get a few sheets from that collection to play with.
Photographer though! OMG! Yeah, I like it too much. I may end up with most of it. LOL!
The shaped card bases look fun too. Kind of expensive. But, maybe something fun and different. Especially the onesie shaped card.

Mintay is not my vibes for pps. I have some of their smaller pads in textures and woods that I adore, but these pps are too soft and cluttered for me.
The chippies always look like a great idea, but I know me and chipboard - I never use it!
The vellum is beautiful but is it really $6.99/piece? That doesn't seem right.

Mintay always has such beautiful collections - works of art. However I can't work any of their A-sides into my sb world. Lots of the B-sides are usable and make great backgrounds. kitbop, I noticed that some (not all) of the vellum is $6.99, some is $3.19. Must be a misprint. And $3.19 is price-y enough.  Thanks for showing us PaperAngel. |

I am not buying any paper right now, but I would be tempted by Home Sweet Home and Photographer. Home Sweet Home has the lilac/lavender colour I love. Photographer reminds me of an OLD BoBunny line called Mamarazzi that I used up.

I love the Mintay quality, but don't use the whimsical/flowery patterns. I like the woodgrain and texture patterns, and Photographer colors.

I do NOT like flowers all over almost everything.
I wish the photography collection was flowerless.
It's all a no for me.

I really like some of the b sides in the photographer collection, and some of the vellum (although not the price). Most of these though are an easy pass.

I'm tempted by Photographer...I like the colors and images! Different from anything I've seen in awhile...

I love the Photographer collection! Me too. Must. Have. It. Love all the images and these are MY colours!
As for the others: Mintay makes gorgeous papers. But I don't make gorgeous scrapbook pages or cards. So really hard to figure out how to use those papers...
A note about their Chippies: These are a really thin chipboard, so they won't bulk up your pages or cards. And they are silhouette shapes, like the old style cameos. So in some ways easier to use cuz they don't have detail that might clash with your other supplies. And if you love colouring, they could be really fun. My fav's of this lot are the Family set and the Wedding one.

I love a lot of the Photographer line, but would love ALL of it if they didn't decide it was necessary to slather flowers all over everything. I've got nothing against flowers and have plenty of flowered paper, but blossoms don't belong in every.single.collection or every.single.page. To me they look very out of place in this line. That said, I do especially love the colors of the Photography line and will probably get a few of the papers, mostly the "b" sides that are flowerless. Also the people in that line are a little too vintage-y looking for my taste and I could do without them... I do like a few of the Winged Melodies ephemera, mostly the bird/birdhouse elements...I have a weakness for birds in my scrapping & cardmaking embellishments. |

... The vellum is beautiful but is it really $6.99/piece? That doesn't seem right. I noticed the price hike during its last/Q4/October release ( here). Decorative Vellum increased (120%) in price from $3.19 USD/sheet (Q3/July release) to $6.99 USD/sheet (Q4/October release)!  |

Thanks for your responses. I exclusively scrapbook & don't gravitate toward the company's aesthetic, so nothing is added to my wish list.

I like the Photographer page with all the filmstrips. That would be all for me. My photography skills = mediocre shots from an iphone, digital camera, SLR (you get the idea).

Oh wow, "Blossom Serenity" is exactly my mother-in-law's aesthetic. She collects bird houses and loves yellow. Amazing find, Paper Angel. Thank you!

So I bought the Dinosaur Chippies and was very much not happy.
The quality is poor.
The paper topping on the cardboard is thin and was peeling off many of the dinosaurs, especially after snapping them from the main board they are secured on.
They ripped while trying to disconnect them.
There was only 1 of DDs favorite Dino and it ripped.
Because of how thin and flimsy they are, arms and legs bend easily.
Coloring one lightly with an alcohol marker, it ripped from getting wet.
I am going to try to use as many as I can to get my money's worth but never again.
