No more llamas, owls, foxes please. Sorry, but I need *all* the foxes and I never thought I’d be saying that. My DD has basically chosen the fox as her spirit animal since Halloween two years ago when she dressed up as one for TOTing. Then that Christmas on a whim, I made her a winter hat out of orange and white fleece fabric left over from her costume with little ears and a black nose and button eyes to look like a fox. O.M.G. The kid ***LOVED*** that thing! It was her favorite gift. Her teacher even lets her wear in in class sometimes. She has worn that thing so much that I’ve started calling it her “invincibility cloak” LOL. But I’m definitely on the bench with you RE: the llamas and the owls. Sorry, ladies, those owls have got to stay!! DD's favorite animal is the owl. I frequently just throw one on a page about her. She's also the girly not girly type. She'll go fish and hunt with boys, but give her pink and sparkles. My beach vacations are usually on the east coast, so stop with the palm trees. Our summer swim time is either at a lake, usually Lake Michigan or by the pool. Definitely stop with the palm trees, sharks, etc. Give me an inner tube, a canoe, a row boat, some pool rafts... Enough popsicles on summer paper lines. I want a paper that looks like corn on the cob... I could use some corn on the cob embellishments. We love sweet corn in the summer.

Drives my history/geography loving son absolutely bonkers. He's like they have this depicting the era of time and this here depicts this era in time. In no era were the boundaries of these countries ever just like this. He ends with a vehement, "Pick an era, draw the world accordingly!" Oh, I'm with your boy!! Perhaps you remember the Becky Higgins fiasco (well, one of them, anyway) where she included a map in something that showed boundaries from some Napoleonic era or other? Sounds like she designed the wallpaper as well! I am glad that I'm not alone and congratulate your son for his eye for detail (and his knowledge of the world, too) He would get on well with our son, who had a world map as his bedding when he was young and surprised his GF by explaining exactly where Uzbekistan could be found. Noticing his GF's quizzical expression, he said "but Grandpy, I sleep with my ear on it every night!. Gill I do remember the BH thing, but not until you mentioned it. That's so sweet with your son. It does sound as if they would get along.

I am a sucker for vintage stuff.. I don't know why but I LOVE it.. I do have quite a few vintage pictures I want to do so maybe that is my reasoning. My favorite color is pink so I don't mind that.. And I am a sucker for scooters, bikes and cameras.. I don't know why but I am drawn to those images.. Random animals, nah.. pineapples, nah.. pizza/donuts.. nope..

Pineapples. I can't ever imagine sending a card to someone with a pineapple on it. I just don't GET it! The pineapple is a symbol of welcome, and in American Colonial times the pineapple is a common feature in décor. Ah, I see. Where I live in Australia, we have an abundance of pineapples but I've never heard of it being a symbol of welcome. For the past 2 Christmases, I have seen pineapple baubles and pineapple Christmas table decorations. And at other times during the year, pineapples on T-shirts and other clothing and perfume in a pineapple-shaped bottle. I found it so odd but just assumed it was just an 'on-trend' thing. Now it is llamas and sloths on everything. Funny how on-trend things spill over to home decor and clothing and stationery and crockery & to papercraft. I wonder what actually comes first with the new 'on-trend' item/animal/picture?

I’m sick of llamas. And then I’m sick of llamas. Oh and llamas... did I mention that I can’t stand llamas? (I really don’t like llamas. Stems from being chased all over the petting zoo at the old Silver Springs attraction in Florida many, many years ago!) Now foxes & owls.... gotta stay! Love them & frogs!

The funny thing is, now I kind of want a couple llama embellishments to go with the llama pictures I'll be scrapbooking as part of the petting zoo layout. lol

Summer lines with lots of pink, surf boards and palm trees. I live in Minnesota, no palm trees or surf boards. But I do love a good flamingo.
Over sloths and lamas.

Well all of us seem to like something that some of us can’t stand. Can we agree on just one we mostly all are tired of? How about mustaches? Are they even still making mustache images? I saw a card the other day where a mustache had been created using two stamped leaves. Two google eyes 👀 positioned above it tipped me off that it was a mustache.

My DS is 16 and just in the beginning shave phase. Heck, my dd13 uses pencils and rolled napkins and her hair to make mustaches still, along with dh. Gotta keep them around, but I just need a digital image, a cut file and a stamp. If I have them all you can get rid of everything else.

I am totally over vintage and kitschy- silly zebras, popsicles, mustaches, etc... There are a few designers whose collections I can do without. The only way I get their stuff is in my kit subscription. There are so many talented You Tubers that would be terrific designers. I wish AC would sign a few and shake things up.

I feel like so many things that shouldn't have been done once are constantly rehashed.
Cacti, sloths, llamas, tacos, random jungle animals, moustaches, bikes, popsicles, scooters, cameras, cupcakes, donuts....
I wish collections included more simple, versatile elements. What about stickers that feature nested shapes? Triangles, circles, squares, etc. Would much rather have something like that on a sheet of stickers than a llama wearing sunglasses.

I just wish that the Sb companies would realize that just because a cactus (insert your terrible object) would look good on a card that it might not necessarily look good in a scrapbook.

RANDOM animals or icons that have ZERO to do with themes. SLOTH! ZEBRAS! PORCUPINES! FRUIT!

I want more boy images. My kids are into video games, scooters, bikes, skateboards, some sports (playing with friends in the yard), art projects, and snap circuits. Typical boy stuff. I want a good boy line that can be used with most of my photos. I’m anxiously waiting for Field Trip because I know it will work with most of my pics, but there should be more than one boy-themed line per year.

I don't need a controller. What about a laptop, headset, mouse. Yes, to the bolded. I want it gender neutral too. My girl did/does that too.

I would love to see less pink. A little pink is OK, but not every collection please. And I would love to see more travel related lines for historic places. Also more sports lines that are more generic. My boys play non traditional sports like rugby, track and tennis. I don’t need lines specific to those sports, but more general sports ones would be great. Also more generic outdoors lines that aren’t all fishing or camping. Something that would work for National parks- general outdoors, wildlife, hiking etc.

I don't see the fascination with sloths, but I do have a bunch of unicorns and llamas. Alpacas are way cuter but you never see those. Never hopped on the vintage train or the distressed train. Very much agree with not shoe-horning boys and girls into blue cars and pink princesses. Yes to corn on the cob. And barbecue things in general. Yes to computer-related things. Yes to woodsy outdoorsy things. Coincidentally I was discussing pineapples with my manicurist today, but ended up with strawberries on my nails instead. But my friend who uses the same girl is getting pineapples next manicure.
And my big gripe is about Christmas stuff. It's impossible to find any stamp sets that have the word "YULE" in them. That's what I celebrate instead of Christmas. I did get super lucky and got a die on clearance from Scrapbooking Made Simple that says "Yuletide Greetings" and I was SO SO HAPPY! Usually I get stuck making generic winter cards. I know 99% of the western world celebrates Christmas, and that's fine, but geez slip in one little Yule for the rest of us. I promise I will buy your stamp set no matter what the rest of the images and sentiments are. (I know I'll never see images or sentiments for other Pagan holidays, so I just get creative for them.)

I bought a set of ephemera from jillibean soup just for the two Corgis in it. If you want the game stuff your welcome to it I’ll never use it
