I don't keep up with all the paper lines and new releases. I don't know one brand from another. I've just spent time on A Cherry on Top's website and I'm completely overwhelmed. So I'm asking for suggestions. I have five kids. 4 girls, 1 boy. Almost all of them are teenagers so we are completely over the kiddish kinds of collections. I like to scrapbook everyday moments for sure. I'm not so much with things like birthdays and Christmas layouts. I'm looking for some paper collections that will lend themselves to everyday moments, the kinds of things were we just snap a picture to document something in our day. I scrapbook a lot of funny dog/cat pictures too. The last paper collection where I bought the entire collection and loved every part of it was Vicki Boutin's Wildflower and Honey. Before that it was A Case of the Blahs by Pinkfresh. I haven't bought another full collection outside of these two. If you can suggest something I can consider, I'd love it. Like I said, I'm just overwhelmed by the sheer volume of product and I'm trying to wade through so many things I would never in a million years buy.
In addtion, I am looking for a collection that has to do with crafting (I do a lot of crochet I like to document and photograph).
And I would like something kitchen-y as I do a lot of baking and like to document my new recipes.
I appreciate any and all suggestions. I wanted to replenish my scrapbook materials as I'm a low-stash kind of person. So it's critical I purchase some new things to keep me going.

I hear what you're saying! Some idea stand-outs from me include: Pinkfresh "Super Cool" for teenagers take a look at the wording on the embellishments (cardstock stickers, ephemera), great for teens without being all "super happy" can even blend in some of your stash papers pretty easily gender neutral Pinkfresh Super CoolCrate Paper "All Heart" Pros: Some really nice modern icons/images in here for teen girls. Buy only what you like if you want to avoid pink--it works well with the other colors too and the pink can be overlooked Downside, not that easy to find now Simple Stories "Kate and Ash" This is still a preorder expected in June Teen girl icons (but again, too much pink, IMO) I think Pinkfresh will continue to be a good brand for what you are looking for. (I just bought a bunch of "A Case of the Blahs). Emma's Paperie has a good supply of older lines, which is helpful for those of us who buy as we make, and not as they're released. (Boys Fort, Escape the Ordinary, etc. further down in this search). Emma's Paperie Pinkfresh

I second Pinkfresh Super Cool, perfect for everyday teen and family pics. And I find that Pinkfresh lines all work well together (their Case of the Blahs collection is also great for stay-at-home quarantine family photos.) I also just got several pieces from the Let's Wander collection, great for everyday/around the neighborhood photos in addition to more traditional travel pics
