I am so tired of seeing 'hello'. It's on chipboard embellishments, stickers, pocket SB cards, and in many word stamp sets. How many of these does a person need? The first time I temember seeing it was on PL cards several years ago and I think it came in handy for filler cards, but now I think, for me anyway, it's worn out its welcome (pun intended).
What at do you wish the scrap companies would retire?

Hello is definitely one for me.
Best day ever.
Amazing.
Every super cute fluffy animal image on every stinking thing.
I'm tired of every school line assuming that every student is "MVP" "Star Student" "A++"
Those are great aspirations, but it is awkward and almost like rubbing salt in the wound when you have a kid that has had a difficult year.

For me it is- PINK I am so sick of this color in almost every collection and in almost every kit club out there. Flowers they seem to appear in most collections and kits too.

I'm tired of pink in every collection that isn't specifically boy-themed.
For travel themes/collections, so sick of "all who wander are not lost."
Tired of the camper/glamper icons in travel or outdoors (we tent camp).
The red vehicle (truck or car) with the tree on top for Christmas lines has been way overdone now. Plus, I have a fake tree so that is unusable for me.
Coffee - I don't drink it.
I'm tired of the overuse of florals in papers and ephemera packs.

All that words that describe how something looks - beautiful, pretty, cute, etc. I never use them, not even in scrapping about the dogs or the sunsets. It's ridiculous how many "beautiful" stickers, cards and stamps I have.

I just bought the new Photo Play shark paper. It has none of these things the previous posters have stated!
I am sick of pink, but I know it sells, I am also done with watercolor colors/patterns, too many flowers, and just not enough sarcasm or funny titles. I look on t-shirt websites to find the best titles. I have found two sayings I am going to borrow. One was Tropic like it's hot (for my kid dancing on a boat) and the other is Resting Beach Face for my son refusing to smile while under a palapa drinking.

*Pink *hello *diamonds *really weird, random icons in stickers/chipboard/diecuts *forest animals *completely random themes (hard to buy collections, or even bits and pieces, when there's only one, or two pieces of accents that you'll use. You could end up paying $5 for one sticker!) *best day ever *epic

Seems like every girl collection has "Princess". We don't call our daughter a Princess or Diva, my daughter is the type who is active and loves to play outside and now that she is getting older is getting into her iPad and things like Minecraft.

Glitter on paper. I prefer my paper not to have any glitter on it.
Vintage. Especially the faded turquoise, aqua, color scheme.
Pastels and muted colors. I like bright, bold colors.

Pink.
Obscure random things (like neon zoo animals).
Food. Donuts. Pineapples. (if you're going to go with food, please use something like burgers, fries and more pizza...not really liking the pizza one from AT...even a diner type line with food being a heavy influence would be SO MUCH BETTER)
Cream bases. I like my white clean based papers.
Stickers that have a primary line advertised on them but are actually designed and intended to be used in planners. One or two things that say 'to do' or 'goals' is fine, but when most of the stickers have those sentiments or lists to tick off, they become difficult to use. These items end up taking away from the primary line instead of being an addition to it. I think I'm also tired of planners in general. I don't understand the concept of keeping planners like albums and needing 200 of them...especially when most of the ones I see in room tours and such are all recent. Planners and accessories are just oversaturated in the market and taking over the pretty paper things that I want for paper crafting (it's easier to take something for scrapbooking and turn into something usable for planners, it's harder if not impossible to do the other way around).

I agree about the school lines. I am tired of the scrapbook industries "perfect life" syndrome. Kids should be celebrated for being imperfect.
I am tired of Hello Sunshine. I agree about coffee too.
I love pink but what is this sexist attitude in the industry that all women who scrapbook must be blonde, love pink and have perfect kids! I hardly ever scrap anything pink.

For travel themes/collections, so sick of "all who wander are not lost." Tired of the camper/glamper icons in travel or outdoors (we tent camp). Coffee - I don't drink it. All of that. I don't even camp - we travel plenty and love to be outdoors, but at the end of the day we go back to our hotel Also "go see do" - blech. Hate it.

Random ampersands on sticker sheets or in die cut packs. I don't have a problem with them if there are included words that make the ampersand useful but I have so many odd ones that I suspect I'll never use them all.
As others have already said I'd be happy if I never saw another random animal or pineapple or best day ever.
I am sure I'll be back as I think of others.

I have a dd like yours. If I did her layouts in pink and sprinkled princess and diva stickers on it, she'd ask me if I knew her at all. I am tired of the scrapbook industries "perfect life" syndrome. Kids should be celebrated for being imperfect. Perfectly said. And bears repeating.

I agree with the ampersands.
As much as I'm tired of "best day ever" I'm also tired of "perfectly imperfect."
For teen/tween boy lines, I'm tired of skateboards, cassette tapes, etc. I really just want some lines with the great colors often used in boy themed lines, on a WHITE base (why are they always on cream and brown?) that isn't in your face boy-themed (or maybe just themed everday life vs having to specifically be "boy").

I'm tired of the cutesy phrases, too. What about something a little offensive or sarcastic? What about something a bit negative? "This sucked" would work sometimes. "Shit happens".
I only really like white bases- not so much the cream or ivory.
Paperclips- I never know how to use them?

I am tired of a lot that's been mentioned...esp Hello and random animals (the tiger in AT's new collection?). I am glad to see that hot air balloons are not as prevalent as they used to be.

I feel like they don't work together so well and the main reason I buy collections is so the papers match.

Fun question OP. Looking over the replies, it looks like most of us are in agreement on the word "Princess"! How many of those would you need (unless you have a pet named Princess)? I'm glad we all have different tastes&likes and it was fun to see what each of you all answered. One thing that has been showing up lately way too often for my tastes is the big bold brush-lettering words/phrases. I never really got those. They were just too bold and jarring to the eye for me.

I'm tired of manufacturers assuming that only boys skateboard, like super heroes, play guitar, like robots/techie stuff, and play sports. My dd plays guitar and was in a punk show last year. I had to be very creative for that layout, although I have to admit, it was fun to do. It may be cute and appropriate when the manufacturers have baby boy and girl-themed products, but when the kids are older, it's not. I find myself using older "boy" lines and products for both my son's and my daughter's layouts and cards.
And I SO agree with what some of you were saying about the school and sports lines being geared towards the "stars" and "super achievers." A little dash of "You can do it," or "Next year will be better," or "I believe in you" would be useful and refreshing.
