Finding it hard to fall in love with any of the new collections that have come out.. Just curious what is the last collection that you loved and would re-buy if you could...

Recent collections I loved and bought multiple times:
-Crate Paper Wonder...I bought a bunch of this collection, and then went back and bought more papers because I used up so much of it. I think I made 12 layouts with it. Which is a tonne for me because i am a heavy paper layerer, and I tend to get bored of the same collection after about 6 layouts, even if i LOVE it.
-Shimelle Starshine...I bought HEAPS of this collection, and I still have more to use, which is fine because it is pretty much perfect IMO. It has lovely rich, bright colours and it works for boys and girls. There is pink, but not loads of it. there are many other colours including" navy (yay!), bright dandelion yellow (yay, yay!), aqua, green, orange etc etc. The patterned papers are usable and work well together. Best of all, it plays well with certain OA collections i love like Rocket Age and Sidewalks.
Favourite all time collections: lots and lots of Sassafras Lass collections: Vintage Yummy, Life is Beautiful (Fawnd of you too), Ellie's Tale, Anthem, Sunshine Broadcast. Some older October Afternoon collections: Sidewalks, Rocket Age and Woodland Park.

This year so far I have only bought bits and pieces of collections I liked, the last full collection I bought was Pink Fresh Studios Christmas line from last year. The collection that I bought multiples of was OA Holiday Style. And back in the day I loved Making Memories Passport collection.

The"Little You" baby line by Crate Paper. I bought the whole girl line of it (and some of the boy line too I have to admit) for my daughter's baby album.
I'm a sucker for hearts and flowers and Doodlebug, so I would also say the last Valentine line by Doodlebug "Sweet Thing".

I agree with impearia - it's Starshine for me. I didn't purchase it when it first came out. I bought it all up over the last month of so from a couple of different sites. I've used it once so far and really love it. My all-time favorite collection is Happy Go Lucky from Pebbles and scooped up two sets of all the 12x12 papers from one of the scrapbook steal sites a year or two ago. I've been hoarding them since. I would love to have the embellishments again, but I haven't seen those around in years. From the new releases, I really love Simple Stories' Hello Fall and My Mind's Eye Sugar Plum. |

Pink Paislee's Cedar Lane! I loved that collection! I think I killed off that one off except for a few scraps! It had great colors like the browns, teals and some purple (!) And the embellishments were yummy!

crate paper craft market. I didn't do any buying or scrapping for a year, then I bought a Noel Mignon kit that had a lot of that line and I was instantly in love. I recently bought more of my favorite papers from the line and have found some of the embellies either on clearance or at Tuesday morning.
one of my very favorite old collections is BasicGrey's blitzen, their first Christmas collection. I still have some and still love it so. their Eskimo kisses line is another. I purchased a ton of it and then kept going back for more.

I loved the Photoplay Nautical Bliss collection but still waiting to have the right pictures to use with it. I thought we were going to Maine for vacation and these papers would have been perfect. We wound up going to New Orleans instead so not so much but I am tempted to buy more from this line because I love it so much.
I also really liked Pink Paislee C'est La Vie and I am loving the Millie and June line from Fancy Pants. I always like Maggie Holmes collections but I kind of get the lines mixed up. I buy everything she does though and find them easy papers to use.

I must be liking older Pink Paislee lately because I'd say Citrus Bliss and C'est La Vie. When you move into a house with a lemon tree in the backyard you need Citrus Bliss in your life.
I missed both of them when they were released but bought both of them on daily deal sites. CB came in last week and CLV, which is so gorgeous, yesterday. I can't wait to use them.

Crate Papers Notes & Things, I seriously loved that colection and I'm still in love with these wedding LO's I did with them. I liked Kiss Kiss and Hello Love but I didn't adore them like I did Notes & Things. I loved a couple of Basic Grey Collections Highline and B Side. And then I've loved the Illustrated Faith lines, She Blooms & Basics and I can't wait to get hold of Bright & Brave and You Are Loved when they come out. |

Those wedding layouts are absolutely gorgeous. They are so beautiful and elegant and simple. They are probably the best wedding pages I have ever seen!! So stunning! |

Mine would be Fancy Free. I loved it when it first appeared, I loved it when I got it and hoarded it and I still love it as I look at my layouts. Really wish I could get my hands on more of it. I want to fall in love with a new line in that way again. But nothing is striking me yet.

I have been cleaning out my paper for the last four days. I have spent a lot of time (sheet by sheet) with so many old papers that still speak to me. One I was surprised that I liked so much was K and Company Happy Trails. I also loved Snorkel. I bought four packs of it and probably have less than 10% of it left.

I'm loving all things Maggie Holmes right now (I've made 4 mini albums with various lines - fun to mix), but my love is Simply Stories, Sunshine and Happiness. Can't wait to make a mini album for a road trip I'm taking with my BFF this weekend.  |

The first kit that came to mind was Basic Grey's B-Line - a lot of the colors and patterns were bold but came together beautifully.

I loved American Crafts Chaps line. I lucked out at a LSS on vacation that was closing. I re-purchased most of it - everything they had at 50% off.
