I noticed the message about an error on the rub-ons, but I'm on a desktop so I can't zoom in to figure out what item is misspelled. Did anyone else notice which one was wrong? At a quick glance, I noticed in the lower right corner, "Triumph - BE SO GOOD THEY CANT IGNORE YOU," is missing an apostrophe in the contraction. |

I really hope that "vintage" look is not coming back to take over the paper industry. I like that there are images and backgrounds that would work with college/university student pages, but that "dingy beige" just makes me sad...My thoughts exactly.
It does not look like a celebration paper. It looks depressing.
I completely agree! |

... I appreciate that they're offering pet collections in colors different from the typical pink for cats and primary colors for dogs. Same |

Thanks for your responses. I find this collection too vintage, old-fashioned/dated, pre-distressed, scenic, etc. Nothing is added to my wish list.

Thanks for your responses. Like BSnyder, IMHO each PFS collection seemed unique, creative, & "fresh" when the company debuted 10 years ago. Lately, however, PFS breaks from its repetitive feminine, floral, butterflies, & pastels or brights to offer a collection that is graphic & non-floral with a cool color palette only once per year - e.g. Tourist Mode (2023) & Simply The Best (2022). While I appreciate the true blue, green, lavendar, & other colors PFS uses, I prefer the tomato red be replaced with a true red, especially in holiday collections, & the odd yellow shades (e.g. mustard, citrine, neon) that often dominate its color palettes be abandoned. I hope PFS gets out of its current rut & goes back to its roots! |

For those looking for a Photoplay dog themed collection, see its May release (linked & discussed HERE). From that thread: ... since I have cats I’ll wait and see if there’s a Cool Cats Since it seems companies release pet collections at the same time, I'm surprised a cat &/or general pet (including fish, hamsters, turtles, etc.) line wasn't also revealed...maybe next month. - check out Cat Nip (linked in the OP); HTH. |

Honestly, I can't tell if I like this one or not. My first impression was it is too vintage for my kid's school photos... but I have been begging for a school line, any school line, that is not made for elementary or preschoolers. ... A versatile & modern school line with a non-gendered & usable color palette & sentiments is elusive in this industry! |

I do not want them to get rid of their floral diecut packs. I buy those in multiples. As a non-flower user, I really like that companies are doing floral packs. The people who love them can buy multiples, and the people who don’t love them (like me) can avoid the florals and buy the other die cut packs. I would just like for the “other” pack to not have florals. 😉 Me too! |

... Please get better adhesive all of my cardstock stickers had the adhesive make oily spots on them still unused. ... What!?! Have you noticed whether this issue also applies to all other PFS adhesive backed embellishments (e.g. puffy letters/words/images, enamel dots)? Anyone else experience this problem? |

I don't recall a PFS school collection; do you remember its name or have a link? TIA. It was called Super cool PaperAngel ... Thanks for the information. I liked (& bought some of) Super Cool, just didn't remember that it was marketed as a school collection (probably because I didn't use it for that purpose). ETA: I think Pinkfresh has tried their hands on some very different collections and I would want to see them making a comeback with some really unique products. ... Taking a pause and rethinking their product offerings is a great idea. Agree! |

My first thought is that it doesn't look like 49 & Market to me= I had to double check the company when I saw it. It is a bit different than their usual aesthetic. Same; I scrolled down to verify the company name on the 12x12 collection pack! |

... I am really hoping they are just on a pause and this is not the end of their scrapbooking lines. On page 2 of your thread linked in the OP, twillerbee quoted the owner's post from a PFS fan group, "As of now I have no idea how long this pause would be for us. But I do not intend to take a long break. It could be anywhere from 1 year to 18 months." Given the pause announcement was made on 3/4, there's two months down & 10-16 months left to go until PFS (scrapbooking collections) returns. |

... Also, enough with that mustard yellow- I'm over that color. ... ... I’m also over the mustard yellow, tomato red, and salmon pink. ... ... I absolutely abhor mustard yellow or a bright yellow. ... Yellow is my least favorite color, so I also dislike mustard (& equally: neon, citrine, & other unusual yellow colors) included in - & often dominating - recent color palettes...UGH! |

Puffy stickers - I would love a pack of just stars or stars, dots, asterisks, and diamonds (like the smaller bits in the Simply The Best puffy sticker sheet, but lots and lots of them!) I echo your "love" & "not a fan/don't use" lists & especially hope for the above - a pack of versatile stars/dots/asterisks/sparkles puffy stickers (or ephemera) added to the PFS embellishments roster for each collection! |

I would like far fewer florals and pastels. I've had enough of them already! I wish they would go back to what I considered to be fresher lines ... with great color ways and nary a floral in sight. Along the way, Pinkfresh has continued to stand out with their quality and clean feel, but their lines used to feel unique with each release. In the past 2-3 years it is difficult to tell one line from another, with colors, patterns, and embellishments feeling very same-y. I really want them to go back to their roots. Well said, & I completely agree! |

... I don't have a lot of use for the heavily floral lines but I love the more linear ones. I really liked the office collection, the travel collection, and the school collection. I used a lot of those. ... I don't recall a PFS school collection; do you remember its name or have a link? TIA. |

I love the Geralyn (in a creative bubble lines) lines. The color palettes and her designs are just so usable and versatile. I also gravitate toward the PFS-Geralyn Sy/IACB collaborations for their modern, non-gendered, & non-floral aesthetic with usable cool color palettes & versatile designs. |

I actually need this paper! My parents (both now deceased) met in college and I have a bunch of old/vintage photos (all black & white) and ephemera from their college days that this paper would be perfect for. So while I don't actually love the whole collection to scrap current college days, it is actually perfect for this particular project. I'm excited and will purchase quite a few of the papers, and maybe some of the other bits and pieces (probably the rub-on transfers), not the entire collection. I agree this collection would be ideal for heritage photos (& also would not chose it for current college photos)! |

Thanks for your participation in the poll & responses. Without a LSS, subscriptions, need, or interest in recent releases, I've only purchased supplies a couple times annually during the last few years.

... I would still love it if just one scrapbook company would come out with dramatically different color combinations, like the old basic gray stuff! While not the same aesthetic as Basic Grey, Photoplay is known for its bright, saturated, & often unusual color palettes (ETA: see website). |

I like that their enamel dots have 7 rows of colors while others have less and PF is usually $1 less. Agree! PFS enamel dots are a better value (i.e. 84 count for $4.49) than many others (e.g. EP, CB, SS, & AC brands are 60 pieces for $4.99). |
