What, no tacos?
Way too much random stuff thrown all over. No thanks.

Another frenetic mess by Amy Tan.

pears, watermelons, bubble teas, bees, peacock, shoes, butterflies, sewing machine, feathers, banana, camera, lemons and god knows what else is there. This line makes me think that I have seen the worst from scrapbook industry.

I really haven't seen anything that I really want from the new releases. Good for my wallet! Same here. |

Not a fan of Amy Tan. Her stuff is so busy.

I like it, but I like busy, random papers. I don’t ever theme anything. But then again, Sassafras was my favorite line ever, and that was about as busy as you could get!

I know we're only one segment of the buying public but with such an overwhelmingly negative response to her recent collections I really wonder why AC is still producing them. Who is buying enough of this stuff to keep it profitable for them?

Feels like a repeat. As a happy thought for those of you who want it - bet it will hit Tuesday Morning pretty quick!!!  I like bright, happy colors for my LOs about my girls, so yeah, I'll look for this one to show up on sale or at TM. I like it, but not enough to pay full price. |

Not usually a fan of her collections either but for some strange reason, I find myself kind of really liking this one.....might change my mind tomorrow, lol!

This is vary garish...I find myself missing the early Dear Lizzy & Amy Tan collections. Maggie Holmes too. I used to love her stuff. Now I feel pretty meh about it. I haven't bought anything from any of them in ages. Shimelle's lines are another. I bought a few pieces from the first release, maybe some stickers or something from her second release and nothing after that. Everything is so cutesy. Maybe that is the planner influence? I'd love to see something that is new and fresh. Maybe with those deep purples and blues. I find myself using more and more digital products these days.

My first response was WOAH!    So. much. so. bright. The sample layout with a LOT of white cardstock wasn't too bad. If my photos were bright and colorful like hers tend to be I could maybe see using some of this. Maybe. In very small doses. With a lot of white space. But my world is not candy colored - I can't imagine using a dull rainy PNW photo with these kinds of papers. The ombre puffy stickers were pretty at first glance. They sell all her paper pads in Joann's now and I can imagine people buying them because they're so bright and cheery (as long as you don't see all the papers together, at which point it becomes unicorn rainbow vomit) but as for actually using them? I don't know. All those random motifs? I think she's jumped the shark. Are there any waterskiing or shark motifs? Maybe the next collection... |

I'll definitely get the ombre stickers, but I'll pass on everything else.

I had to go back looking for the "sewing machine" paper 3 times. I totally didn't see the sewing machines because of the rest of the pattern.
I like the black floral and the paper with the multicolored L shapes. Overall in scrapbooking, I am having a hard time with the icon papers.
I do like the Thickers and the dark wire words. I know everyone is laughing at them, but I like the darker finish.

yep... just as I thought it would happen, today I don't like it! Funny how you can look at something, then a few days it totally changes...yhis is why impulse buying is very bad news for me :-(

It's better than the last collection. But that's not really much of an accomplishment.

I'm clearly not in Amy T's target market. Thickers perhaps (although God knows I don't need any more), otherwise a no from me.
