What is the most overdone image or word in scrapping?

I just purged a ton of best day ever, bloom, and hello from my stash, so there's my answer.

I'm also kind of over every summer embellishment has to have the word sun, or summer on it. It's like designers got a hold of a thesaurus and just use every phrase with those two words on them repeatedly. I also had at least seven or eight "life is better in flip flops," in my stash. I love flip flops but not that much.

And my final grump is the bikini, swimsuit, or swim trunks without a person in it. Probably because I am too literal and don't know how to use it without the page being about swimsuit shopping. We don't leave those in the yard and walk into the house naked, so they don't end up on my pages...

Apparently, it sounds like I hate everything summer, I don't, summer is my favorite season to scrap.

Currently.

Best Day Ever. I personally hate "hustle" "girl boss".

Airplane icons. How many airplane icons can you use up? I'm getting ready of a bunch with my recent vacation in Arizona. Maybe I will seek them all out and get rid of them on one layout. I did do another epic running thru Charlotte airport AGAIN.

Tired of the pickup truck for all seasons!

I agree with 'Best Day Ever', unless it's a page about your wedding day or the birth of your child!    But I am considering using it for photos from when we took the dogs to the beach a couple of weeks ago. Because any day the dogs are at the beach really is the "best day ever" for them. 

I get what some of you are saying about words like today, hello, the story, right now, currently, good vibes only etc, but those words work well for my PL pages. I would love to come up with some other generic words that I can use instead, so any suggestions, please throw them my way!

Best day ever, bloom grow, and almost every word/phrase for travel. There has GOT to be a new way to describe a vacation. I don’t mind summer/fall/autumn/winter…on ONE or TWO pieces in a collection, but not only do they have about 10 things per sticker sheet/die cut/chipboard piece/sticker book, they have more in all of the other embellishments, AND they have some of the exact same images in all 3-4 different types of embellishments. So, say they have heart eye sunglasses on the 12x12 sticker sheet…they also have it in the die cuts, chipboard and sticker book. That limits what I buy because I will not be using that pair of sunglasses on four different LO’s or four different ways on one. That means, I will only buy 1-2 embellishment types and not the full collection.

"Let's get lost" in a travel collection...nope, sorry but the last thing I want to do on vacation (or any trip) is get lost! And it's in so many collections.

Not only does the industry predictably use the same tired sentiments/icons for the same themes on a loop, but also includes them on all products within a collection (e.g. patterned papers, flat/foam/puffy/layered stickers, ephemera, journaling cards, chipboard, washi, brads, stamps). Like cbscrapper , I especially dislike the overabundance of florals. Some collections (especially spring themed, Maggie Holmes, Paige Evans, etc) are entirely floral, while others - regardless the theme - include multiple floral patterned papers, flowers throughout embellishments, floral only diecut packs, etc....ugh!

This and the other travel phrases mentioned above like let's get lost, wander.., etc. I would really like some fresh travel words and phrases PLEASE! Too much is repeated across collections.  I feel like someone could really sell a new collection if it had different prompts, words, quotes than what we see recycled over and over. 


Agree with others re bloom, shine, grow - like I can only use those so much.  Best Day Ever is also over done.

I do like the ones AussieMeg mentioned for the same reason for using in PL.

In images, I don't love the trucks either.  I think there are too many florals, but I also like some florals, just not a million.  I don't need all the punctuation either.  I have a million &s, #s, @s!!  Enough already.

Phrases: Not all who wander are lost. Best day ever.

I don't follow trends, so I have no idea what the current phrases are. But a phrase that drove me insane on YT was "super cute". Every element or project was "super cute" - AAAHHHHHH, 35 times in every darn video. I felt like screaming when I heard it, and imediately left the channel. Thankfully it seems to have pretty much died out these days, I almost never hear it now. Another thing that really bugged me on YT was that finger wave so many YTers used to do. Thankfully that also seems to have pretty much died out. I don't know why it got to me, just one of those irrational irritations.

As for images, I have never understood why papers have random images on them (often with matching stamps). Like foxes or bird cages. They seem to be everywhere for a few months, then disappear and the next random image appears everywhere. I always say to each their own, but I just don't get it.
