*NEW* Pinkfresh – AUG release (Paige Evans debut) *UPDATE3

I don't like the first collection at all because it's just not her style. The second collection, on the other hand, looks really good. No pink for once. The collection reminds me a little of the ‘Coast to Coast’ collection from American Crafts, in terms of the colors and also some of the motifs.

I sincerely respect Paige Evans and think she is very talented. That said, her style is not one I use and the Legendary line does not read masculine to me. It's fairly gender neutral, which is good-I might pick up some of the ephemera but none of the papers.

Lovely Lane isn't my style at all, so I already knew I wouldn't be buying any of that.

But I'm bummed out by Legendary. It is a lot younger looking than I expected. I was hoping for more general use. That said, I do like some of the papers, BUT since I cannot buy them individually, I'm kind of stuck because I don't even want enough to warrant buying the smaller pad. (Also, I totally view one of those papers as having flowers. Not a complaint, but merely an observation.)

I like some of the ephemera images, but not nearly enough to buy them. I like more of the puffy sticker images, but I don't like puffy stickers. And I don't have any interest in any of the other embellishments at all. So I just feel like I'm running into brick walls in every direction with this collection. So ultimately, I won't be buying any. I was really feeling hopeful for this line. I thought maybe we'd get something really different and really useful for everyday photos, but it didn't turn out that way for me, personally. I hope others find it works well for them.

I'm relieved to hear that some people are really liking the Legendary, because I really want to see companies encouraged to keep offering non-pink, non-floral lines.

I'm happy for those who can use it, plus I figure if companies offer more of the nonfloral lines, then there's a better chance of me finding a few I want to buy as well. 

Paige is usually not my style. I do like some of the Legendary line, especially the paper, but not enough to buy the whole paper pack.

LOVE Legendary! I see it as an everyday use collection for my lifestyle and loved ones. So versatile! I am wishing for single papers because there are a few designs I would get multiple of to spread through my stash. Geometrics are my vibe. Excited for this one!!!

Love, love, love the black paper with the line-work leaves.

ETA: it’s funny how we all perceive things so differently. I just went back and read the comments. I don’t see the images as childish or young at all. I would use them for most any age. Nor did I pick up the instagram focus. Things that are “trending” to me refers to the predictability of where I am in life. I saw phrases more as language trends more than actual documentation of digital life. I feel they are very usable for so many things.

I really liked PFS as a company and bought all their previous lines.

I was sad that they stopped manufacturing scrapbook products and honestly never felt like they would return.

When they did I got excited until I heard who the new creator was. I had reservations.

Then I saw the first line and was disappointed at the flowers and colors and not being able to buy sheets alone.

Then Legendary came out and I was not thrilled.

So the break up is that of me and PFS.

It was a slow break up. Like slowly ripping the bandaid off. But now it's done with this latest release.

The big thing for me is not being able to buy individual sheets.

No way am I spending the money to get the 1 sheet I may want.

Hope that makes sense. Kind of like when you know a relationship is done but you hang on to hope or so you aren't alone but then something else happens and you finally give up and end it.

Same...exactly the same feeling. 

I wont bother with any of it, honestly. I would have bought some of Legendary if it was by the sheet, but I have no desire for an entire paper pad of any of it.

I think both lines will appeal to many people, but there are just not my style.

I like some of the papers in Legendary but the embellishments won't work for me. I was hoping for a more masculine line. This seems very general. Though I hope it's a hit just so we can see more from PF

I wonder if we'll wind up seeing individual sheets being re-sold on places like Etsy. I see people do that with out of print lines all of the time, but if companies start refusing to sell individual sheets, then resellers may start trying to see if they can convince buyers to pay a bit more per sheet to only buy the papers they want.



ETA: Sorry, I keep trying to delete the empty quote box from Shakti since I was only quoting pantsonfire, but every time I delete it, when I hit post or save it magically returns! 

At sneak peek I liked legendary because it looked so much like Geralyn Sy/IACB designed it. Then I saw the full reveal, and it looks like a temu version of Geralyn Sy. So bummed. I wish they would just bring her back. I would buy any of her lines, sight unseen.
I also think I would’ve bought some individual sheets and most of the embellishments, but since I can’t just buy single sheets I will likely skip it all.

Lovely Lane is a no for me, too floral and not my style.

Legendary, I like a few of the papers, but would most likely buy some of the ephemera. I was hoping for chipboard flair but I guess they are not doing that anymore.
