:PRODUCTS: NEW collections from and old favorites & a NEW manufacturer

I am very excited about a few new collections coming out soon!!

Two of them are from an old favorite of mine...Fancy Pants Designs. Rarely do they release a collection that I don't love...it's happened, but not often.

This one called Wishful Thinking is certainly my favorite of the two.

Remember the banner trend I blogged about the other day? Well, there's a sheet in this collection that features them, too! We can always count on FP to keep up with the latest trends!


Like Father Like Son is another great collection and will be perfect for boy layouts or for commemorating Father's Day which is coming up soon.


Check out the Fancy Pants Spring 2010 Catalog which features both collections in greater detail.

Another familiar face in scrapbooking, Basic Grey also has two new collections called Oscar and Olivia. At first I thought it was ONE collection with the way they have it featured on their front page, but it is in fact TWO different collections. Oscar is clearly more 'boyish' and Olivia is more 'girlish'. BOTH are adorable!!

AND...there's banners!!


To view the full lines, go here for Oscar and here for Olivia.

THEN, I discovered a NEW MANUFACTURER the other day called Echo Park Paper and if this first collection is any indication of where they're going, they're going to be around the scrapbooking industry for a long time!

There first collection release is called Sweet Summertime and it is fun and bright and vibrant! I LOVE IT!

(By the way...do you see the banners!?)

I'm with you big time, Pam! I am ready for summer also! I am really looking forward to some quality time with my daughter this summer!
They are all great, but I found Echo Park recently also, and I absolutely love the Sweet Summertime. It is warm and fun and lighthearted and cheerful...well, everything that says summer!

Lighthearted and cheerful are the perfect adjectives for this collection!

I am really liking the Like Father, Like Son line. I saw it when they first released the peek, and have to have it. It is SO difficult to find things I can use for my preschool aged son and I see that line as a real possibility.

Echo Park looks really cute too, but I like the uniqueness of a boy line.

I agree...it can be hard to find quality boy collection. This one is for sure. The funny thing is, though, that I only have a girl and still sometimes like to use these kinds of papers on her layouts. I have a feeling its not as easy to go the other way though...girly papers for boy layouts. :-)
I saw those Echo Park papers on another blog last week and you know I immediately fell in love with t
