Hmmmmmmm
Pinkfresh have previously been a fave of mine. I bought the whole “escape the ordinary” line nearly 3 times over .
Legendary is ok but not quite what I would use,except for maybe one or 2 papers

I watched the unboxing. PE states, "I do believe that scrapbook.com will have a very limited amount of the loose leaf. So, if you don't want all 12 papers in one pad, I believe scrapbook.com will have a few single sheets, but that's not 100% guaranteed. That's just like word on the street." I'm uncertain whether this means all patterned papers may be available by-the-sheet at SB.com but with a limited quantity of each OR only select patterns may be sold individually.

It irritates my business degree w/advertising concentration mind when companies and designers do these unboxing but have no clue what things will actually look like as far as sales and availability. You are representing the company. People are going to have questions. This is your project. Know your stuff. It is basically an ad in video form showing off products. To not be fully aware or transparent is frustrating. I believe a pea mentioned that the scrapbook side of PFS is just a side gig to keep some money flowing in...this just shows the truth to that. Hey look here's our new lines but we don't fully know anything yet 🤦🏻♀️ |

... It is basically an ad in video form showing off products. To not be fully aware or transparent is frustrating. ... Agreed. As seen in the excerpt quoted above, PE also refers to the Paper Packs as pads & explains, "... [12x12] comes in a plastic baggie, but I already took it out. It's not loose leaf like this. They do come together all in a pack of 12. ... when you get the pad, it's not exactly a pad because they don't tear out; the 6x8 paper pad they do tear out." While PFS labels both products as Paper Packs (& its designer refers to both as paper pads), it appears - based on the description & products shown in the unboxing - 12x12 is a paper pack (i.e. individual papers sold together in a cellophane package), while 6x8 is a actually a gummy-bound paper pad. It seems that it would be simpler for everyone (PFS, its designer, retailers, & customers) if the company would correctly label/refer to the 12x12 Paper Pack & 6x8 Paper Pad. Ugh! |

I can see using Legendary for a lot of different stories. I like the blues, and the graphics are nice and neutral. I wish there were blank journaling spots instead of all the words and phrases.

I really like the Lovely Lane. I could use some of the papers for older baby photos, but as the kids get older I tend not to use papers that look that girly. The second line is nice as well, but I don't like it as well as the girly one (as usual). I will probably buy both if I need to place an order.

I have a huge suspicion that PFS saw all the negative comments about a paper pack and rethought their stance on no single sheet sales.
Still not a fan of either line but glad they changed course.

I also still do not buy the "PFS said it was either a paper pack or no paper at all" BS comment

I also opined last month regarding PE's live unboxing, "Given PFS' 'quick note' about not offering individual patterned papers when it revealed each collection [in June], perhaps the 'announcement' that patterns may be available by-the-sheet exclusively at SB.com is in response to (negative) customer feedback about paper packs only & the reason for the postponed release from July to late August through mid-September." |

... Still not a fan of either line but glad they changed course. Me too! Hope PFS hasn't already lost customers &/or retailers with its less-than-smooth relaunch, given a 17-month pause between releases (March 2024 - August 2025) to refresh/rethink the brand. |

I hope that they've learned to offer the single sheets right from the start next time. Exactly! It's created unnecessary drama & potentially alienated customers/retailers, after a 17-month pause between scrapbook releases. As mentioned upthread, I found it odd that PFS spent time/energy naming individual papers intended to be sold in a paper pack. Perhaps the company initially intended to continue offering open stock 12x12 papers but pivoted to only packs due to cost (given the prior packs or nothing comment) &/or another reason prior to release, the release was a test period to gauge customer/retailer feedback on paper packs only, or paper packs only was simply an (unsuccessful) idea from its "refresh, rethink, & research" process during the pause. |

Are these lines sold out on the pre-order at ACOT? Nothing comes up when I use the links or a search. I wanted to buy the LEGENDARY line.

When cleaning my craft room this weekend I came upon a container of Paige Evans paper and embellishments from several collections that I've barely touched. I think they came from class kits from different events. I used a little of it, but her style is really not my style. But everyone likes different things. She is a great teacher and very talented so I hope she does well. I do like her mini alpha stickers and may purchased some.
