Speaking of which, it must drive you nuts Chinagirl828 , the number of times Australia is missed off the edge of a world map created by a scrapbook manufacturer! We travel (hah! USED TO travel!) a lot and some of our itineraries were almost impossible to document, so crazy was the accuracy of world geography here. How hard can it be?! It doesn't change much from one century to the next.... This is probably one of the reasons I don't tend to use a lot of map print papers, and when I use globes in embellishments I put word stickers or something over the map detail so you can tell it's a globe but can't see which continent. I get why everything is so US focused, but it still annoys me. Speaking of US focused, I don't get why digital designers don't include British English spellings. It's one extra letter, people! Other things I'd like to see: The word Autumn. Southern hemisphere Christmas and NYE. Calendars that start on Monday.

Marching Band, not every musician plays the trumpet or drums. I'm tired of music notes only, grandson has three years of high school left. I still have friends that scrapbook and have kids in band. We cut up our band sticker sheets and I get all of the clarinets, my friend gets all of the saxophones, etc. Now I have a nice little pile of clarinets. The problem with covid is that he only got to march in two home games and no parades this year. So now I have a surplus of clarinets.

I would love some paper lines / themes about the following:
single / divorced women, upper-aged kids, working moms, funerals, not so polite sayings and expressions, staycations, movie nights, and just random papers embellishments that go with any occasion.

I wonder why I've never seen a college themed line. You would think someone would have made one by now.

L Music. Not classical but some rock-n-roll themes. Concerts, CDs, favorite tshirts. There was a GREAT ling of Rock-n-Roll stuff years ago... I am so happy I bought it.. different and edgy. It did have some pink in it, but not your typical pink you see in everything else. Lots of chocolate color with pink/red I think thrown in. If I see it I'll post a pic of it.. It was awesome.

I would love a non-kids ren faire/med. faire line And I want more versatility in the travel lines - historic houses, museums, shopping districts, walking tours...not all vacations involve an airplane or the eiffel tower. I would love to see these as well. I have tons of Renaissance Fair photos still to scrap. I also have photos of Williamsburg, DC, Philadelphia, and other historic districts. I’d also like to see some Western/Pioneer. I have pictures of the Fort Worth Stockyards, the Alamo in San Antonio, and Salt Lake City’s Pioneer Village. There are similar historic sites in many western states. I also would like to see Japanese Garden lines. I have photos of the Japanese Gardens at Fort Worth, the Japanese Garden at the Hillwood Museum in DC, and photos of my mother in a Japanese Garden in California. I know that not everyone wants themed papers and embellishments, but I often use them if they work well for my photos. I really like Paper Wizard for themed embellishments, especially for Disney pages. Most of the Disney lines are red, yellow, and black because those are “Mickey” colors, but they are not predominant colors in the theme parks, and most of the Disney papers have been useless in scrapping my Disney pictures.

Wild Whisper had a great rock and roll line called Feel the Beat but I see it is sold out now. Reminisce has one, too, called Rock Star. It is still available. A Cherry on Top still has a Jolee sticker set with drums, guitars, amp, and microphones on it.
My nephew plays electric guitar and bass so I have a collection of guitar stickers. When Michael's cleared out their stickers I bought up all of the music related ones I could find.
If you search for music stickers on Amazon there are packages of rock stickers made for laptops and water bottles. A lot of the bands are old (AC/DC, Rush, Red Hot Chili Peppers, etc.) but I bought a few packages for myself for non scrapbook use and I'll probably end up putting some on a scrapbook page, eventually. I also use metal charms on my pages and Amazon had some guitar, music note, and microphone ones that I've used on a couple pages.
Good luck finding CDs. Cassette tapes show up in scrapbook lines all of the time, and sometimes records, but never CDs. One of the teen boy lines, I think Bro & Co, has airpods, which I used on a page. I know records are making a comeback, my ex and my nephews love them, but I don't get the cassette thing.
Reminisce has a lot of specific themes. There stuff isn't for everybody- some of their paper is really aggressive. I don't like the photorealistic ones with a big picture on them, and I hate their stickers. I do use a piece here and there on my pages, though. I can usually find ways to add small bits of it so it doesn't dominate my pages.
