Strawberries are my absolute favorite, we go picking every year. I was thrilled to see this collection by Simple Stories. And I still love this older collection by Echo Park. Did you see the Lawn Fawn strawberry picking stamp set ( Berry Special)? The cutest little mice... I'm trying so hard to resist ordering the stamps + dies.  Yes! I have it and absolutely love it! This one by pink fresh is on my wishlist, too prettypinkposh.com/products/fresh-berries-stamp-set?variant=43789739589873 |

aj2hall would the Studio Calico Wander Often collection work? I got the 6x8 paper, embellishments, and arrows from SB.com. Has various paper and b-sides with things you can cut apart. Maybe it is general enough for your needs. www.scrapbook.com/store/sca-ns347909.html Thank you for the suggestion! It might work. It looks similar to the Tourist mode from Pink Fresh that has a lovely dark green. I was just hoping for more of an outdoors type collection with trees, footprints, hiking signs, badges, wildlife and other icons. |

I would love to find a kayak/paddleboard collection. Scrapbook.com has a few kayak products here, , but only a few! We have a big dog (145+ Great Dane) and I'd love to see a harlequin Great Dane featured in a scrapbook collection. Our kids have pit bikes and I've never seen a scrapbook collection feature pit bikes. An "Outdoor Adventure" collection with 4-wheelers, pit bikes, paddleboards, kayaks, and motocross bikes would be awesome. I have a garden, but most collections out there are for flower gardens or farming. I have a (suburban) vegetable garden and I would love to see a veggie garden scrapbook collection (without cow images). |

I’d love a modern version of Boy Scout things. The only stuff I find looks like it’s been hanging around since 1997. And not camping stuff, that’s easy to find. I’m taking icons like the neckerchief, Boy Scout salute hand symbol, knots (sometimes there’s some in nautical lines), the logo. Sentiments like: scouts honor, the motto, court of honor, merit badges, earning badges, ranking up, sign-offs, troop meetings, community service, etc! I was happy that the latest SS Trial Mix had merit badge motifs. But there’s so much more to scout life than hiking and camping. Yes! It was always hard to find Scout themes when I was working on my son's albums. I did purchase the K&Co collections and albums when they first came out & held on to them. I was also able to get the paper collections when from My Mind's Eye (I think that was the company) that licensed with the Scouts K&Co. Both of these collections had the icons you are referring to. I've seen some of the K&Co on sites like ebay so it might be worth trying to look there or set up a search to get notified if any listings come up. I did see a few loose papers on the Frantic Scrapper site but none of the ephemera packs which had the icons & badges. Note the K&Co papers are thin - like old-school scrapbook papers! www.franticstamper.com/search?query=boy-scoutsMe too! All 3 of my boys are Eagle Scouts and my dh is the scoutmaster. They're headed out to Philmont next week. I literally have hundreds of photos to scrap. I wish there was more Cub Scout & Boy Scout stuff - pinewood derby, overnights, blue & gold dinners, awards ceremonies etc. I do have an old Circuit cartridge with Boy Scout logos. |

I would love to find a kayak/paddleboard collection. If you can find someone who's bought the Jen Hadfield Live & Let Grow collection, there's a beautiful kayak die-cut in the icon ephemera pack that they may want to send you. The wood pattern matches the alpha Thickers in the line. The kayak is repeated in a blue pattern finish in the sticker set. I feel like some of the elements in this collection would also work great for "simple" outings in nature, not camping (although there is a tent and a van). The girl on the bicycle in the woods on the cut-apart PP is adorable.   |

I just found some pretty kitchen icons for a KitchenAid, copper pots or measuring spoons depending on how you look at them and an enamel Dutch oven (like Le Creuset and Staub) in the upcoming Carta Bella release called At Home. Very happy with this find! Other unusual-in-scrappy-lines but currently trendy home items in this line include a hanging wicker chair, mountain landscape in punch needle embroidery, wooden towel rack ladder, Morrocan-style round leather pouf and round rattan wall décor.  |

My most exciting Christmas kit last Christmas was Peppermint Twist by our very own Gina Miller. It matched my tree and decorations perfectly, gorgeous pinks and mint green! If I didn't know any better, I would have thought that gina snuck into my house and designed her kit around my tree and decor!  haha That's so funny. I did not...  but I love that you loved it! Can you share a layout you did using it? I'd love to see! |

It’s yours if you want it, craftymom101 (I hate kayaking, though my husband likes it. Anytime we get on a kayak is a strain to our marriage at this point so I am done with them 😂) |

Reminisce has a number of collections surrounding niches that other companies ignore. |

pantsonfire and sleepingbooty, I am just an uninformed small dog person. Never had had real interaction with them. My dogs have alwawys been medium or large. I do know my co-worker has two that she definitely describes as little princesses, so that is about it. But if I had some I would definitely get them some clothes and bows. But for picture opportunities only, not to actually wear. As a side note, I have no happy finds, but would definitely be happy to find a cute line that had dog thickers! I prefer the chipboard with foam, please.

I went to GASC scrapbook convention this past weekend with the intention of looking for 21st birthday themes or beer related themes for my son's 21st bday party pics. I can usually find niche themes at the conventions. I came up empty handed but then I found this unbranded beer mug die on Amazon on decided to get it so I can have some type of beer theme for his page. I have some pics of him with his Dad/Uncles/Cousins having a beer & toasting to his 21st bday. I don't think my son really liked the beer - he doesn't like anything carbonated but he wanted to try one for his 21st so he did! www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08L95G34J/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1There is a lot of beer stuff available. I’m a brewery girl and I scrapbook beer a lot. Search for “beer” on scrapbook.com. I have most of the papers, the stickers, and the beer stamp. St. Patrick day collections usually have beer, too. On Etsy, Shadnee has wood beer shapes that I love. I buy up pretty much everything I see. Reminisce is particularly good about drink collections. Also, Cricut design studio also has a ton of beer stuff if you have their subscription. |

Paper Rose Mountain Trek is great for that. Not a lot of different papers though. Reminisce Take a Hike is also a great line for hiking. I have lots of older outdoor lines that had a little camping but it wasn't as prevalent as it is today. |

We're going to kayak in Alaska next month, so I hope I see some whales so I can just use whale paper.  |

This is one of my all time favorite lines. I bought so much of it. I also loved the SS Happy Trails line. I found 4 large packs of it at Tuesday Morning and bought all of it. |

Yes, if my LSS gets the line, I'll definitely get the kayak paper. Not sure about the whole line. |

My niche favourite is all the wonky-rainbow-type 'Accidental LGBTQ+ Pride' scrapbook stuff. Craft Consortium is such a good manufacturer and gorgeous for Pride scrapbooking www.craftconsortium.com/product-page/the-essential-craft-papers-ink-drops-candy. Their Ink Drops and Grunge ranges come in several colour schemes which you can match to pride flags. The Craft Sensations Journaling Designpad in pink and blue has some Accidental Trans Pride loveliness, with all the blue and pink paper and cut aparts like this -  Heidi Swapp's 'Set Sail' paper is meant for rich Americans on sailing vacations but I've bought some the darker papers for scrapbooking the type of grungy north European port town that I get to go to (not finished yet, lack of balance on the left is bugging me) -  My political party is a huge part of my life and I got my party symbol done as a stamp by a small local craft manufacturer in 3 sizes for the equivalent of around 15 US dollars. Bargain. I've stockpiled a bunch of the 'darker' themed halloween skeleton / body part stamps and die cuts for scrapping my daughter's Biomedical Science degree. This paper is lovely for Desi celebrations and some of it matched the colours for my brother's British-Pakistani wedding - www.craftconsortium.com/product-page/the-essential-craft-papers-6x6-eastern-influences. Very sadly this little online shop only posts to the UK at the moment because they do several kinds of niche stamps - Welsh / Irish language, pagan, Christian, Mr & Mr, music and pet stamps - www.stampingallday.co.uk/stampingalldayshopfront/. |

In line with the Boy Scout items, my DD is starting her 6th year of Girl Scouts, and I'd love some Girl Scout items. The SS Trail Mix is going to help with her outdoor/camping adventures, but there are meetings, cookies, and other awards/badges they can earn and specific motifs for each level that I'd love to get my hands on.

K&Co made some years ago so maybe have a peek at Ebay and Etsy to see if someone's selling their leftovers/unused. Licensing is the issue with the Scouting items - K&Co was licensed but I'm not sure anyone else has been since |

Well, I bought a bunch of 49th and Market Plum Grove to do wedding favors with, and they liked it so much that the happy couple literally changed their wedding colors to match the paper line!  I am really happy with the whole line, it is just perfect for a Fall wedding, and the ephemra is great too, with die cuts like Family, gather and "you are the spice of my life". www.49andmarket.com/product-tag/plum-grove/ |

If you like the swirly, water coloury look of 49& Market, &/or are on the hunt for papers to scrap your trip to the county fair or themepark rides and food, check out Carnival Concessions by Simply Stated Designs. They are Canadian, based out of Edmonton. The ephemera  One of the papers. That one has gold foiling in it. But many of them don't: |

This give you a bit of a better look at the paper. |
