Love the colors! There are some usable pieces there that I like. I guess doughnuts are the trend this season. I'm ready to see the boy line.  |

TFS nicolep CB is one of my favorite companies. I like their bold colors. Also want to see the boy line. I have seen a stamp set with a bunch of donut sayings, like (I think) "I donut know how this happened!" I think I need to order it just to cope with all these doughnuts on the new sb pp lines! Thought that was TE, but I just checked, and although they have a multiple food sayings set HERE it only has one donut saying. Now if I order that one, I will be ready in case PIZZA is the NBT! Has anyone seen the new Echo Park lines? |

At first glance, I hated it. But, as I scrolled through, I realized the embellishments are perfect for my almost a teen DGD.

It looks like a great extension of Just Add Color with the colored papers mixed with a lot of black and white papers. They are doing a great job making their style very distinguishable like Doodlebug does...everything within the same color tones and illustration styles that makes them easily identifiable. Elle's Studio does the same with her work, too...except she's branching out into more color varieties. |

Wow that's a lot of pink was my first reaction to Addison. I like the bright colours though.

I kinda like it! I feel like I could scrap my early 90's childhood/tween years with this. Also..love the blue gingham pattern.

I like the Alex line for my tweener. I would use the heck out of that "Achievement unlocked" card. Some good papers in both lines. Love the gingham trend and those bright colors for kids pages.

I can actually say I like this one!
I'm feeling a bit of an 80's vibe, paired with today's technology and slang.
I love the inclusion of music notes on the border and some stickers.
I like the phones.
I even like the "I donut care" play on words. Almost makes the donut trend usable (or at least gives me a slight understanding of it).
Like the continued feathers and arrows.
I was surprised that they could get away with Dory's line, "Just keep swimming," but I really like it, because we say it a lot around here. It's a good way to look up when things are tough.
I like the car key embellishments. Yes, that is what freedom looks like, even to me. (I get that the line is geared toward teens, but it is usable to me too. I like that versatility.
I'm betting some will really like the braces card "I like to see you smile." Would be good for any braces layout.
I love the "coffee, pronto" sticker. And "late night."
I like the washi tape that reads, "I think I'll just be happy today."
I would love to see young romance stuff geared toward all sexual orientations included sometimes. What if my dd isn't "guy crazy"? What if she's girl crazy?
Love the "Sassy since birth" sticker. I want it for dd2.
And I think I'm kinda liking the sprinkles. Maybe it's just too late at night, but they're growing on me.

Maybe it's just too late at night, but they're growing on me. While I know it might be a stereotype, with Bella Blvd having a faith based sister brand, I really don't see that happening. But someone should do it, because the faith based stuff (I really want to say crap, but would likely offend someone) is really annoying and is as awful as pink to me (and I REALLLLYYYY loathe pink) and if that's being supported, so should the LGTBQ community (beyond digital products). I have to roll my eyes and scroll quickly past that stuff. Although they are killing me with having the enamel hearts in their faith brand because it means I'm supporting it. |

I think I can use every last thing in that Alex line--even the cacti, as some of my dgk's send photos from Phoenix where they go to see another grandparent. |

After your update:
NEED the Alex collection, for my dd! She's obsessed with video gaming.
"Like a Boss" "I can't even" all things that are so her.
Even the fact that it is not pink is so her.

I love the Alex line, but what are the cactus elements doing in there? It's so random! I hate that.

I am all over the Illustrated Faith line! I can't believe that the only lines I've loved this year (She Blooms, Whatever is Lovely and the Basics) and the only lines I'm looking forward to, are bible journalling lines. I am not religious at all, confirmed atheist here but I love the challenge of using a bible journalling line to do my kind of LO's. But the Illustrated Faith colours are right up my alley. Love it |

I love the Alex line too. I can always find cute girl stuff but I have a harder time finding cool stuff for boys.

I wish Bella Blvd could make one just like Bright & Brave but substitute other words for the religion stuff, for those of us of different and no faiths.
