Cannot remember the name - it was a masculine collection from (I want to say) 4 years ago?? And a school collection around the same time - still have some bits hoarded away! Right now I am loving the Dear Lizzy feminine collections a lot!

THANK YOU for the chance to win some CRAFTY AWESOMENESS :)
Posted by: TracyM #6773 | Monday, September 01, 2014 at 06:27 AM
WOW! Your DT are all so imaginative and original in their creations! Love all their designs! My favorite AC line used to be Mayberry, but I have to say that I think Haunted Hollow will be my next favorite! Love those dark colors and black accents! Can't wait to see what the DT will be creating with that one! :)
Posted by: Nicole Doiron | Monday, September 01, 2014 at 07:01 AM
I love the Plus one from Amy t - love the watercolor and black look together.

Posted by: TracyM #6773 | Monday, September 01, 2014 at 07:25 AM
Thanks for the blog hop. You guys picked some talented designers. Loved seeing the colorful and fresh layouts on each blog. I like lots of your lines, and you have so many now, so picking a favorite is hard. Heidi Swapp Dreamy Collection is up there. The three I wish I had most are the Mayberry, Color Wash, and Be Merry collections. I could go on but there is probably a character limit!
Posted by: Kristie Absher, islandscrapper | Monday, September 01, 2014 at 10:22 AM
Super cute sneak peeks of the DT's work. My favorite collection has been Peppermint Express, with Shimelle being a close second. I'm off to hop.
Posted by: Ann Custer | Monday, September 01, 2014 at 12:00 PM
Super fun hop. Loved seeing all the awesome creativity from the Design Team. I have pinned, tweeted and liked on Facebook. Thanks for all the awesome collections for choices to be creative with.
Posted by: Ann Custer | Monday, September 01, 2014 at 12:46 PM
Great hop! I'll definitely be referring back to some of these projects in the future! As for my favorite line, I'm not sure I have just one but Chap would definitely be closet to the top.
Posted by: jengd | Monday, September 01, 2014 at 01:20 PM
I love everything by Amy Tangerine!
Posted by: Randi | Monday, September 01, 2014 at 04:07 PM
The Shimelle collection is my all time favorite!!!
Posted by: Janet | Monday, September 01, 2014 at 04:24 PM
Great hop. I love all your products.
Posted by: Mandi Holmes | Monday, September 01, 2014 at 07:15 PM
Thanks for the hop! Such talented ladies showing off all the awesome AC goodies! <3
My favorite AC collection? Tough question! I love multiple collections from Dear Lizzy and Amy Tan. First collection that came to mind is Cut and Paste, but really, I've been impressed by every - and bought pieces of - pretty much every line that American Crafts does for those two lovely ladies.
Posted by: Cynthia B. | Monday, September 01, 2014 at 07:49 PM
Thank you for an amazing, inspiration filled blog hop! These are truly talented ladies!
Posted by: Robin B. | Monday, September 01, 2014 at 08:15 PM

Posted by: Angela | Tuesday, September 02, 2014 at 05:36 AM
Right now I'd have to say the Shimelle collection...I love it!!!
- April W
Posted by: April W | Tuesday, September 02, 2014 at 06:51 AM
Right now, my favorite AC item is the Project Life line. I LOVE finding ways to incorporate the cards into my 12X12 layouts.
Posted by: Angela | Tuesday, September 02, 2014 at 09:14 AM
Congrats to the new AC team! My all-time favorite AC collection is Kringle and Co. I love everything in the collection so much that I bought duplicates so I would have plenty to use for many years to come in my Dec Daily albums and layouts!
Posted by: rhonda n | Tuesday, September 02, 2014 at 01:12 PM
I love the Be Merry Collection! The bright colors and fun prints make this a happy collection.
Posted by: Amy C. | Tuesday, September 02, 2014 at 04:21 PM
My all time favorite line is Plus One by Amy Tan! I am also really looking forward to your new Haunted Hollow line!
Posted by: Paula | Tuesday, September 02, 2014 at 05:36 PM
I love this DT! Such fun and colorful peeps! Can't wait to see what they create!
Posted by: Mandee | Wednesday, September 03, 2014 at 09:54 AM
Loved the hop! Umm... favorite line EVER? I'm pretty sure the Shimelle line takes that. Or maybe the Dear Lizzy "Lucky Charm" line. So pretty.
Posted by: Heather Adams | Wednesday, September 03, 2014 at 10:24 AM
What a great lineup for the design team, lots of talent here. I look foward to seeing them all.
My fav is the Haunted Hollow. Looking forward to the fall!!!
Posted by: Heather Thompson | Wednesday, September 03, 2014 at 01:26 PM
Favorite line ever probably has to be the Dear Lizzy - Polka Dot Party :D
Posted by: Claudia van Rooijen | Thursday, September 04, 2014 at 07:40 AM
Well - I seem to be in god company - many of the ladies have stated that Dear Lizzy - Polka Dot party is their favorite and I would have to concur - Awesomely sweet and cool collection!!
Posted by: Taunya Butler | Thursday, September 04, 2014 at 06:01 PM
Love all of these designers! Wonderful team & awesome inspiration. It's really hard to pick a favorite collection but I love anything Amy Tan does so my recent fave would be Plus One. Just adore her & her style!

My fav is by far Amy Tangerine Plus One, I bought lots and love using it. Normally I fall in love with bits and pieces of a collection, but for this one I'm in love with everything.
Posted by: clairejf | Friday, September 05, 2014 at 05:06 AM
Amy tangerine's Plus One is one of my faves
Posted by: {vicki} | Friday, September 05, 2014 at 06:16 AM
Be Merry is my favorite collection of the three, although I love the Haunted Hallow also. I am a sucker for Halloween stuff!
Posted by: Danielle | Friday, September 05, 2014 at 08:21 AM
Amy Tan Plus one! But if you want to kick it old school....Rock Star or Catwalk!
Posted by: Candace R. | Friday, September 05, 2014 at 03:08 PM
My favorite collection would probably have to be any of the Dear Lizzy collections :)
