I'm really looking forward to seeing it - and the price. I like what I see so far.

Absolutely gorgeous. I'm guessing the price point will be around $100. I guess we'll know tomorrow.

Wow, I'm impressed that this kit is only $45 - and they're even including a free mini-class if you buy it soon. I actually put it in my cart, calculated shipping ($18 to me) - and then thought 'but what layouts exactly would I use it for'? So I went back for a closer look, and realized that while some of the graphics appeal to me, they're not typically what I use when scrapping. And I already have enough trendy papers that I haven't used yet that I dumped it out of my cart and decided I'd think further on it.

But if anyone else takes the plunge I can't wait to see what you do with it!

Oh no. I almost hoped it would be outrageously priced so I couldn't justify it. I need to see what others do with it before I actually consider buying it. Its so pretty though!

Resistance is futile. Really? 48 sheets of paper? Ordered.

The papers alone are worth the price!
What is this trend to drag out videos? Why do people think we want to watch their hands for 24 minutes?

Could the Dubai card have played into your decision???

It's a beautiful kit, but there's not enough there that I'd use. Maybe their next kit...

Serendipitous, right?
Will use that on my flight-over page for sure.
I can't wait to start cutting into that paper!

I confess to buying it too... primarily for those postcards.... because I have a ton of photos from the nations at Epcot to scrapbook. And I'm betting all those lovely papers will work well for Disney photos. I have more than enough Disney embellishments to use with them!

Great idea Monica!

Those "solids" would work with anything. At first I thought maybe it was too floral and then I skimmed through the blog-hop to see what others had done with it. Chances are I had already made up my mind but it's very versatile afterall.

Mine apparently arrived overnight - or really, really early this morning.
:clap:
Gorgeous, gorgeous colors and the paper is a very nice weight. I would call it a lighter weight cardstock rather than patterned paper. Perfect for layering.
I'm very happy with the contents and the price/value.

Do I have to have a reason to have ordered this kit? Okay... it's because I needed some dies to go with a stamp set I bought - so seeing as I was spending money for shipping anyway... My box has apparently shipped, but coming to Canada I'm not sure how quickly it'll get here. Which is fine; I have lots of other things to keep me busy!

Meant to say I love the idea of using the papers for scrapping Disney. Of course if I want to do that I'll have to make another trip there, LOL.

Ditto! How about a PAO Disney vacation? ;)
