*NEW* Bella Blvd - August release

I do like most alphabet stickers, the flat Bella Blvd "Letter Scramble", the foam Thickers, Simple Stories alphas. From the past, I loved OA alphas & the tiny LilyBee stickers. Thanks for asking PaperAngel.
And maybe like melanell said, past experiences with puffies was disappointing. It just seems like that whatever makes them puffy might eventually degrade and be "messy".

I like the boy line for my preteens. Not quite fitting into my high schoolers but it works for my middle school boys. It’ll work for family and friends things too cause even I’m called bruh or bro most of the time now by their friends and then 🫠

Overall the palate is useable though some things don’t fit my group I can see using most of it.

I have a 13yo so I need Carson! It is a cute line and I have a ton of pictures I can use with it.

artbabe thank you for the analysis. That was incredibly insightful.

Scrapbook companies have never been known to be particularly sensitive or anything but stereotypical.

I think this thread also demonstrates how regionally different kids can be. What is popular and normal in one area is not in another.

I will absolutely consider spending $9 on the Ephemera Word pack just for the Ma. Mama. Mom. Bruh. That is SO my son. Savage has not been used in years around here, Rad never. He's not a skater, doesn't play a mainstream sport, not huge into skincare, never listens to music and would never wear converse (too much work).

Rizz would definitely be useful as my son has it in spades. I've not heard of Drip as a slang term.

As for the "dumb things boys do" I can absolutely see myself using that. BOYS ARE WEIRD. My son and a friend took a plate of leftover pancakes, rolled them into balls and then had a pancake fight in our backyard. Why? Why do they do these things? This is one of many examples of dumb stuff they do.

That is interesting that you say that because I think with the internet things are pretty much the same across the United States. I follow several middle school teachers that pretend to be middle school kids, and no matter where they are located, judging from their skits the kids are the exact same. I have tears rolling down my face at how accurate it is. It makes me feel like I'm not losing my mind- that is just how middle school kids are.

I know my 14-year-old nephew is getting much of his slang, interests, whatever, from TikTok.
