   While I love something about every single collection, my hands down favorite is KaiserCraft’s “Tis the Season”!

   A very close second is “Noel” by Teresa Collins, followed very closely by the “Jovial” collection by Basic Grey.

   Thanks for showing us all these collections — now I know which ones to look for first!

   My favorite is the Basic Grey Jovial. I love the colors and like you mentioned in the video I also like how they layer text on color on another color etc.

   I have a serious addiction to all things winter and Christmas right now but I do have to say, the Fancy Pants papers just call to me! Perfect for cards and holiday layouts. They’re all gorgeous though!

    Thank goodness in real life I don’t have to pick just one. I do tend to like the traditional so Fancy Pants “Tradition” and Teresa Collins “Noel” are my two favorite. But I don’t think there are any that I don’t like.

    I really enjoy your reviews. I love seeing the paper lines that don’t make it to the big box stores near me. I am glad we have online shopping. Thanks for another great informative review!

    I love the colours and freshness of Little Yellow Bicycle’s Christmas Delight and
    Imaginice Cottage Christmas for the same reason. They are a bit more contemporary.
    Thanks so much Christine for giving us this opportunity to win these gorgeous papers.

    My favourite collection collection her today is a tie… between Fancy Pants and Cosmo Cricket…. They are both beautiful… I think I waffle between liking Traditional and the Bright papers of Christmas!!
    Thanks for showing us all this beautiful paper… now I just want to get scrapping!

    I love them all but think I like Christmas Delight best because it’s the most versatile. You can use it for Christmas and for winter pages.

    My favorite is definitely Jovial by Cosmo Cricket. I just love that rough, old-fashioned look. If I had to choose a 2nd, it would be the Fancy Pants collection, I think. Thanks for keeping these videos coming for so long – all the other blogs/vlogs seem to crash and burn after a bit. You still make everything seem fresh and new, and I love that you mix it up with interviews, techniques and product reviews.

    Nikki Sivils’ Happy Happy Days because it has a lot of print/text/journaling spots. I don’t do a lot of journaling, so I like a lot of print on my papers and just stick a word sticker or title on the page. Thanks.

    I like “Cottage Christmas” by Imaginisce! I tend to prefer bright colors or jewel tones. I don’t like a lot of the antiqued or aged patterns as much. They antiqued, aged, distressed papers are great, and go well together, but just not so much my style.

    Boy did I goof – it’s Mitten Weather by Cosmo Cricket that’s my favorite. I love the colors and the chipboard cut outs are so fun. Please disregard my first posting except for the thanks and the cudos. Thanks again for the chance to win. And I hope the right collection to win. Thank you.

    Hi,

    You know, I do like them all, but I really love “Cottage Christmas” by Imaginisce. I love their cute, whimsical images and their colour combinations.

    Thanks for your great videos and inspiration!

    My favorite out of these collections would have to be “White Christmas” Although I love traditional, I can’t help but go for bright, fun colors at Christmas time, with cartoon like pictures and fun images. To me Christmas is a very fun time of year, our family has family game nights with all the cousins participating and we all wear funny hats and act like fools, and this is the time of year when everyone is home from college so we get to see each other. Definitely bright and fun for me

    Christine, I love your podcast – thanks for doing it and keeping us up on the latest trends and techniques! I have two favorites – Noel by Teresa Collins because black, white and red are a bit traditional but not really – and how can you go wrong with the color combination! I also like Jovial by Basic Grey because of the distressed vintage look and unique color combinations.

    Posted November 3, 2010 at 4:34 pm | Permalink

    I tend to favor the more traditional, almost vintage-y, schemes like the “Tradition” line by Fancy Pants and the “Noel” line by Teresa Collins. However, once again, Basic Grey wins my highest regard with their “Jovial” collection. Beautiful papers, and I know they will always have awesome add-ons.
    Thanks for the chance to win one of these collections!

    I think my favorite is Crate Paper’s Snow Day collection. I have decided that this year I am going to branch out a little and do something with nontraditional holiday colors. I am making bags, boxes and tags as part of my gifts so I will be using all kinds of paper and embellishments.

78. Sheri K
    Posted November 3, 2010 at 7:24 pm | Permalink

    I have been anxiously waiting for this episode!! I don’t have a LSS nearby so I check your website EVERY DAY to see what’s new.

    Last year I purchased many Holiday papers and products with the pink and bright greens and more whimsical elements – and I LOVE them, but I think I need a change. My favorite new line is LYB…its got more traditional colors and prints but still they somehow make it fresh and contemporary. Thanks for another great video and another great contest!!

90. LaJuan King

    Okay, I love them all but the first one I would get would be the Little Yellow Bicycle’s collection “Christmas Delight”! I just love the snowmen and the presents, it just feel so winter warm. The order of purchase for all the other collections would have to be done by pulling the names from out of a hat. Thanks for sharing.

    My favourite would be Jovial by BG. (I’m a serious paperholic and BG never disappoints.) Followed by Kaisercraft Tis the Season, Fancy Pants ‘Tradition’, and then Little Yellow Bicycle ‘Christmas Delight’ and Cosmo Cricket ‘Mitten Weather’ for a little dash of non-traditional. Thanks for a look at all these new lines.

    I LOVE the “Noel”-series by Teresa Collins! But any paper would do- if you want me to- I´d be happy to send you a pre-stamped envelope- Because by sharing all the markets christmas-papers- You have truly done more then enough to get me wanting to make some fun seasonal-scraps with my youngest son who loves to craft with me- and if it smells Santa on it- things can only get craftier

    Thanks for sharing all the Christmas collections. They are all so wonderful and tempting..it’s a good thing I don’t live near a scrapbook store!

     Wonderful presentation Christine! The information you supply is simply invaluable to me.
     Right now I’m loving the bold baroque simplicity (I know, what an oxymoron) of anything Teresa Collins. Of course, Basic Gray and Cosmo Cricket have always had the ability to separate me from my wallet. And both of Kaiser Kraft’s lines are appealing; maybe it’s the use of brown.
     There’s a lot to love out there. Bravo to these companies and their vision.

     I like Kaiser Crafts’ “Tis the Season”. On my computer the red appeared as an orange-red. The whole collection reminded of a British Christmas from the 50′s

     I do love Basic grey and LYB. Moreover they have so many goodies to combine with the papers… I don’t really like too bright colors like orange or purple. It doesn’t look enough wintery to me! =) Thanks for the chance to win!

     It’s definitely “Christmas Delight” by LYB. But Crate Paper’s “Snowday” caught my eye too.

     I love the colors and designs in the Crate Paper collection, but I wish the 6×6 pad had the smaller patterns.

     I like Crate Paper’s “Snowday”! I like a mix of the traditional colors and bright colors.

     I like the more traditional colours featured in the Cottage Christmas by Imaginisce. Would love these for my Christmas cards and layouts. Thanks for the opportunity to win.

     I am usually a Fancy Pants girl, but that Kaiser Craft’s Tis the Season has my name written all over it. I love the earthiness of everything. Thanks for sharing these new lines with us.

     My favorite is “Noel” by Teresa Collins; I love the punch of the colors and the vintage-y feel.

     Hmmm – not quite unlike being asked to pick which is my favourite child (and I have 5 to pick from)….
     I like most of these sets, particularly because there isn’t a lot of snow in the graphics for most of them. I know that sounds odd to most of you but I live in Queensland, Australia and have seen snow once in my whole life on a trip to Europe about 12 years ago. Our Christmas time is unbelievably hot, with the bitumen melting off the roads. The images I associate with Christmas are fruit, salad, sunscreen, swimming, hot days etc. But I digress…. I think the first set, Fancy Pants “Tradition” would best fit in with the summer Christmas we have here. The colours are warm and bright, traditional Christmas without being too Northern-Hemisphere focused. They would really pick up the colours in my summer Christmas photos.

     Thanks again for a great show Christine. I know I say this just about every post, but it really is generous of you and your family to put together these great podcasts. My 8 y.o. twin girls are all set to make those floral hair clips for their cousins as Christmas presents. Thanks for the idea.

     I love anything for Christmas that is BRIGHT and WHIMSICAL! Christmas is such a happy time of year for my Family. I handmake my Christmas cards every year and people always tell me they look forward to getting them in the mail to see what I’ve come up with this year. I’m sure it has nothing to do with the photo that I enclose of my three Bichon Frise’s dressed up in some type of costume for the holidays.

     I love paper and I love Christmas, so choosing one set is virtually impossible for me! However I have to commend the vintage clean looking ranges of Fancy Pants Traditions and Jovial, however the Christmas Delight range needs a mention in my opinion too as I don’t naturally go for blue but I love this range for having much more blue than the others! Really lovely session, thanks Christine.

     I’d have to say that as a whole, the Crate Paper Snowday collection would have to be my favorite, but there are some other individual sheets that I adore in other collections as well. I’m kind of weird (in a lot of ways, but right now I’m speaking of scrapbooking!) in that I’m generally a very traditional person, but for Christmas, which is probably the most traditional holiday, I love bright, whimsical stuff. My Christmas decorations and my Christmas scrapbooking is a mishmash of traditional, whimsical, cheap, expensive. . . just whatever strikes my fancy!

     My favorites are “Cottage Christmas” by Imaginisce and Cosmo Cricket’s “Mitten Weather”. I love them both!!!

     The KiaserCraft “Be Merry” and Teresa Collins’ “Noel” are both tugging at my heartstrings! So happy to see all these offerings in one place for a side by side comparison. I’ve only seen the Crate Paper and the Jovial in my LSS so far…
     Thanks for the previews!

     Great show Christine which inspires me to do more… now about the contest, hard choice but my pick would be by KaiserCrafts ‘Tis the Season’, I could envision lots of nice layouts and cards using this

     Thanks for showing, Christine =)
     Your work is great for us, especially for newbies like me!
     All paper are fantastic, but I like KaiserCraft’s “Tis the Season” the most!
     Traditional colors is my pick, and those traditional vintage look are perfect~
     I also like those news prints, foiling, and different textures on the paper…
     I can “smell” the Christmas from those paper, haha! Thank you~

     Wow, what wonderful papers. Luv the Theresa Collins Jolly Time. Very busy with lots of big prints and words. Great for large mini’s like her 13×9 blackboard book. TFS.

     Oh it’s a toss up between Kaisercraft Be Merry and Crate Paper’s Snow Day, I guess I go between traditional and whimsical, based on my mood. Thanks for your generosity.

     This year, Mitten Weather by Cosmo Cricket is really appealing to me. I am loving the purple in the line.

     Since I have to choose, not easy to do, I would say the Cosmo Cricket papers. Just fun to have a variety of colors.
