Not sure about this one: interested to see the rest of the week's reveals. ETA. day 2 is Reset Girl day 3 is Hello Fall Day 4 is Classic Christmas Day 5 is Mistletoe Kisses Two "simple sets" for fall: "Gather Together" and "Happy Haunting"

Not a fan of the color scheme at all. I do want the arrow washi and wish there was a better view of the word stickers; I might buy them. There are a couple of papers I do like, because they don't have pink.  |

It's pretty, but reminds me too much of Life Documented...I don't see any uniqueness in it that I can't already find in my stash. So Yay!!!! That's one line I don't need, hahaha...I really would like to decrease my spending.

Not sure about this one: interested to see the rest of the week's reveals. I agree, not a color scheme that I'm interested in. I couldn't get enough of Simple Stories a couple of years ago, to the point of using it almost exclusively for several albums, but it hasn't appealed to me as much lately. I'm ready for less cartoony illustrations, unless it's specifically for kids, something a little more sophisticated. |

I'm not into this either, the colours look the same as other new lines and they're a bit dull for my liking. Looking forward to seeing what comes tomorrow though |

I like a couple of the papers and the cardstock stickers with the blue alphabet. I can't imagine needing all of those number stickers.

Well that's disappointing! It's a very much "been there done that" line. Although, I'm partial to that little wiener dog! |

It does have a familiar feel to it, but I'm loving the navy blue and mint! I like it and I'm sure I'm gonna buy the whole line!

I actually really like this collection. I've taken a couple years break from paper crafting and it's just been the last few months that I've been paying attention again, so this collection doesn't feel like "more of the same" to me. SaveSave |

I really like this! It feels a lot like the look scraptastic was going for, actually. If I could "toughen" it up with some less flowery embellishments, I could work with it! But I likely won't go buy the whole thing. It also looks like it was made for planners or some supplies are specifically for planners. That seems like an interesting evolution!

Ok those word stickers - ugh. no like at all.
Colors are ok, a few cute things. Not their best or even 5th best line.
chipboard feathers? Another ugh.
I'll probably pick up a sheet or two because I always do.

Ok those word stickers - ugh. no like at all. How were you able to read them? I clicked on them and it immediately is a pinned image. I did pin it to see if I could see it better on Pinterest. No luck! |

That seems like an interesting evolution!Simple Stories coordinates their planner stuff (Carpe Diem) with their regular lines. I often like to use some of the Carpe Diem cards and pages on my 12x12 scrapbook pages. |

Did all the designers get together and decide to go with blue?
I like blue and coral but definitely not blue and pink. There are a few pieces of paper that I liked but I definitely don't have that "I have to have all of it" feeling that I often get with Simple Stories.
Maybe tomorrow's sneak peak will thrill us all.

A lot of the recent releases seem really similar. Every time something is announced, I get a sense of deja vu.

Oh good - another line I don't have to buy Although, in general I am not a huge SS fan...sometimes I like a few bits and pieces of a line here and there, but they often aren't my style and I find their papers hard to use. Something seems off about that colour scheme to me...maybe that corally pink/salmon colour. Whatever it is it doesn't mesh well for my eyes. Save |

The colours just aren't for me I think. I have bought papers in the past and just ended up donating them. |

I love their stuff online but never seem to think its as good when I get it in person. I can't quite pin down why and I am sure its just me!

I'm a big Simple Stories fan, but this is a pass for me. It's too feminine for my needs.
Whew. I know they'll probably release some holiday papers so I can save my money for those!

I can not put my finger on it but I feel as though I have seen this line before or is it that they have taken bits and pieces from a few different lines. Personally I am not a huge fan of this one, I don't dislike it it's just is not my style.

The Reset Girl's line is super cute! Very October Afternoon-ish. I don't know if I'll buy a lot of it, just a few here and there. I really dislike that they use cream rather than white. But I can deal.

I really like the Reset Girl Post-It Notes. I'm a Post-It junkie so I'll be hunting those down.

Just checked out Reset Girl. Same colours again, with the addition of brown. Hmmm...
The enamel sheet with the glasses is cute. And I like some of the papers, but they are not screaming at me to come in and buy them.

But I can deal. October afternoon is exactly what I thought of too when I saw it! I'm on the fence on this one. Once again I will have to see it in person to decide! |
