I'm moving back from PL albums to traditional 12x12 for 2023, so I need to add some papers to my stash.
I'm looking for things I could use with Teen boys. Also anything that would work well with theatre and music (guitar and band stuff).

I am not familiar with their most current offerings, but they have a lot of unique papers that are boy and teen friendly. The last things I bought from them were stand-up paddleboard themed papers. |

I find boy themed papers just as frustratingly stereotypical as the female collections, with the redeeming factor that at least they’re not overly pink. I often pick and choose rather than buying full “boy” collections. However, Pinkfresh’s Simply the Best is a very usable male (or female) collection, imo. Music is not a well represented theme in the scrapbook industry. Those papers I seek out at b&m craft stores (loose paper, embellishments, and stickers) or pull bits and pieces among other themed collections and use my Silhouette for embellishments and titles.
ETA: VB collections also have a lot of useable elements for my teen son, along with Amy Tangerine’s Brave and Bold.

I also recommend Reminisce.
They have several lines related to music, bands, theater, men themed, etc..

Pinkfresh- “simply the best “collection I'm on a freeze, but am thinking of breaking it to stock up on this. I think this is a collection I'd have forever. |

Check out the Not Just for Boys kit club Maybe try a kit? Or even just take a look at the contents list of a kit you like the look of to give you ideas for manufacturers and lines. Reminisce has been suggested and they have great collections for alot of interests. Can't go wrong with Coco Vanilla No Limits. There is a thread here on PhotoPlay new releases. Anything in Campus Life or Family Fun that interests you? |

I am here to enable you kmage I received the Simply the Best collection when I participated in a Pinkfresh virtual event. It's even better in person. I 100% recommend stocking up. The icons will work from high school through adulthood, and the colors are sooooooo good. |

I love the colors and tones of that and can see using a ton. I wish they made more like this. |

Anything in Campus Life or Family Fun that interests you? I may need to revisit the NJFB club. In the last the kits were either older supplies I already had or too much of a theme. I purchased 1 or 2 back when they started and that stuff is still sitting. And yes to No Limits! I need to shop my stash for that and see if I need to replenish. |

Take a look at Vicki Boutin's collections, Fernwood and Print Shop. They are not themed and can be used for just about any situation.
