My Mind's Eye - some of their "grown up" papers in the Lost & Found collections. I used the last I had of this collection yesterday. Makes me sad, but also thrilled I got to use it on some layouts that I loved how they turned out. I miss papers being less cutesy all the time. My most-used sb style is simple and minimal, but w/patterned papers, vs. just cardstock.

Ok mine is Bo Bunny Safari, loved that collection more than any zoo/animal/camping/safari paper since it came out. I bought the collection and when I used a piece I replaced it until I could no longer locate it. Wish I'd have bought 10 of each sheet in collection. I loved that collection! I made some of my favorite zoo pages with it. Bo Bunny is weird- 95% of their collections don't appeal to me at all but the 5% that do turn out to be my absolute favorites. Right now my crafting unicorn is a white brick paper from Jen Hadfield. I just used my one piece of it and I'd love to find more. Tuesday Morning has every Jen Hadfield 12x12 paper pad except the one that includes the brick.

Thanks for sharing. I just don’t really do digital. But someone else Looking for it might be able to use it. Such a great line and I missed it except one piece I was able to get on amazon. lol but it’s not like I don’t have enough Christmas stuff! I rarely do digital only layouts, but when I’ve gotten desperate for a design, I’ve bought the digital files and had them printed at a local printing company. An added bonus to this method is you can choose the weight and quality of card stock to suit your personal taste. They will even print on vellum for you!

Sure, that's pretty easy. Print shops generally don't care what you're printing per se, just how big it is and the technical details (paper, ink, finish, etc.)

So I am sure there are lines or products that I wished I had not missed out on, but I just decided that my biggest unicorn would be the pictures I did not take. If I could go back, that is what I would do. Take more pictures of the uneventful times.

That’s the other beautiful thing - you can resize any patterned paper and elements to whatever size you need.

This would be more of a fun thing to find, not necessarily a must-have unicorn, but I'd love to have a library of past catalogs from Hero Arts, Stampin' Up, CTMH, PSX...even if the stamp images are retired/dated/etc., a good card design is timeless.

Crate paper Merry Days line. I somehow missed it when it came out and it was just gone from all the stores in no time. I know it's not the same but someone pointed out on the DD thread that the digital is available www.acdigitals.com/collections/merry-daysHmm, I never really considered this, but has anyone tried having the elements printed and then fussy-cut them to DIY their own ephemera?
Does AC Digitals have any sales?

I did that with a Simple Stories digital collection. Easier if you have a ScanNCut type of machine. It's nice to be able to print some items larger or smaller to match your own style. I have no idea if AC Digitals has sales. Their prices seem awfully high to me, especially given that they've already made money on the physical collections and presumably the digitals are just gravy... :/ ETA: in another thread sleepingbooty mentioned that AC Digitals usually has good deals on Black Friday.

AC Digitals hold sales several times per year. They sometimes have select offers like three collections from a designer or from a particular theme for 9.99 (mix of old and new). They also have 30% off the entire store sometimes (quite rare so you've got to sign up for the newsletter and make sure you don't miss out). They usually participate in Black Friday so I'd hold off until then if you can. ETA: Merry Days was 30% (or 20? can't recall) when it landed in the store this summer. Like I said above, you've got to keep up with the (very irregular) newsletters from AC Digitals to keep up with the new releases and the sales or you'll be missing out on good deals.

I have old catalogs from SU that were thrifted finds. I really love them. It is fun inspiration. I was gifted a couple issues of Stamper's Sampler's magazines from the 90's. I love looking through those magazines all the time. I look through them and reread them a couple times a year. Card making was so artsy back then.

Yes, yes, yes! I love print & cut elements. I do fussy cut. To be fair I mainly use my Cricut or Brother ScannCut. Some designs will not read on those machines so I do fussy cut them out. I love fussy cutting so it's a lot of fun.
The types of paper I print on rival a lot of the girls collection of cardstock, ROFL. I like to look at the original collections and print them out on those kind of paper.
I use HP Instant Ink program. I know somebody will ask, understandably. My printer is no longer made but HP Instant Ink has a list of compatible newer printers. With back to school and holiday sales right now you can pick up a cheaper printer for about $30-$40. If you have an older HP printer it will be on that list too if it is compatible with the program.
My favorite site is SnapClickSupply. They carry a lot of Prima, EchoPark, Carta Bella, etc.... It is all our major lines. If your into Echo Park Fashionista line, for example, they have the whole collection. They have this thing every Wednesday a few of the kits go on sale for $1.00. It lasts one day. I do like AC Digital too. They are a bit pricey. I am a big Carta Bella fan girl so I live over at SnapClickSupply. I also use MyMemories and PixelScrapper. Those are not major scrapbook lines but you can find some treasures.
Editing to add check out your printer mfg. website to see if they have a program like HPInstant Ink. I think Epson has one. Read my post and I sound like I was an advertisement, ROFL. I am not advertising them. It is just what works for me but could be a nightmare for you. Definitely look at your choice printer to see what they have for printing programs or if you can use a CIS system, generic cartridges, etc...

I know several people have been looking for the older Lost & Found collection, and they have several pieces in the warehouse sale.

Fitzgerald Thickers in black foam and red glitter foam. I’ve managed to find the gold, silver, and teal Fitzgerald Thickers but not the last two colors. Alllll the Sassafras! I was able to find the black ones on an Australian site. Maybe an Aussie pea could buy them and ship them to you? It says they no longer ship internationally, unfortunately. scrapmatrix.com/thickers-fitzgerald-black/

Sassafras Lass Sunshine Broadcast and Basic Grey Soleil. I do wish I could just go back and buy all the Sassafras and Basic Grey. I have lots of Basic Grey, but am really lacking in the Sassafras stash. Both Etsy and eBay have quite a few Sassafras Lass pieces! Happy Scrappin’ Scrapbooking has some Sassafras as well (I used to order from them around 2008-2010 - it might be worth checking to make sure they are still accepting orders). www.happyscrappinscrapbooking.com/sassafraslasskits.htmlBasicgrey is still relatively easy to find on Etsy, eBay and Mercari. ACOT even has a few pieces left. An Etsy seller has 16 pieces of 6x6 papers for sale. Emma’s Paperie has a ton of BG, and it’s mostly 50% off original prices or more. She has 3 of the Soleil embellishments and the alpha stickers available.

Autumn Leaves letterpress paper. I loooooved Autumn Leaves. Happy Scrappin’ Scrapbooking still has a decent amount of Autumn Leaves. I used to order from her around 2008-2010, so you may want to send her an email before you order to make sure she is still accepting orders, although it looks like she is. www.happyscrappinscrapbooking.com/autumnleaves.html

Great question!! (And oh so many possibilities I could answer). My most "unicorn" thing I am looking for is some Sassafras Lass paper from North at the Pole (Narwhals!!) and Happy Place (Mushrooms and Rainbows).
And of course Crate Paper Wonder chipboard... link
OK, I will stop now.
So this is probably not helpful unless you have a wholesale license or know someone who does, but this Canadian company has 16 Crate Paper Wonder Chipboards in stock: www.shopmulticrafts.com/crate-paper-wonder-chipboard-12x12-w-gold-foil.html

More October Afternoon especially the Christmas collections and the entire Campfire line. I never came across October Afternoon in person very much and if the LSS had any it was just a few random things from a line. I have been super lucky and found quite a few bits and pieces over the years especially from one online craft store here in Australia but I would love to have so much more. eBay, Etsy and Emma’s Paperie are good places to look for OA stuff. eBay (U.S.) has at least one Christmas collection right now.

This store is local to me. They are a craft wholesaler for all of Canada, and then they have a retail store where they sell all of their overstock. They are great for finding older items - they never really clear out old stock, they keep everything until it sells, so you can find collections from years ago. They are on the other end of town from me, about 45 minutes away - I was thinking of going there near the end of October - they're only open to the public a few days a week, and with short hours, so I have to plan when to go. I can see if anyone's scrappy unicorns are there if they'd like, and mail it to the U.S. or wherever for you - but an FYI, Canadian postage is expensive. If you're just looking for a recommendation or are hesitant to buy from an unknown place, I can say that they are a really great company and they have been around for decades - at least 40 years. Edited to add: Here's a link to the retail side of their store, with a search for Crate Paper Wonder - looks like they only have the paper available for retail customers. They may be able to tell you who to buy the chipboard from, though: www.artsandcraftsbymcg.com/shop/?ixwpss=crate+paper+wonder&title=1&excerpt=1&content=1&categories=1&attributes=1&tags=1&sku=1

All the OA, but especially Night Light, Weather Vane, Rocket Age and the lines from that era- their first lines. I wised up after Rocket Age and started buying triples and quadruples of it, so I still have enough of their later lines to use here and there. If I could find their very first cloud paper I would probably cry. I only ever had a partial piece of it and I would love to have the full sheet. Hey, Skellinton, I just found the Picking Pumpkins cloud paper in my stash for you! I thought I'd seen it somewhere, but it wasn't with my other October Afternoon paper. I only have one piece though--sorry it's not more.

I am just about ready to get ready for school, so I will check in tonight, but seriously, thank you! I know it will be insane to ship one piece of paper, but I have wanted that paper so long I don’t mind the cost! Thank you!!!!!

9x12 albums with 3 rings (then you can use 8.5x11, 6x12 and cut down 12x12 protectors in them) I had some of the Seven Paper old ones from Studio Calico, but I am on my last one and I am so sad. I can't even find them on ebay.
