The discussion about the Mega Date Stamp had me thinking about what is looking fresh and fun lately in scrapbooking.
I'd love to see a whole line of Mega products. I loved the giant alpha in the Cirque SC kit and the 6x8 PL-style cards in Cocoa Daisy's planner add on it. There's something about re-scaling something that just makes it seem fresh and fun.
I'm also loving plastic and rubber embellishments. They just feel new and different.
What are you currently loving and would like to see more of? What haven't you seen yet that you would like to see?

I like the acetate shapes and am glad the rubber items are coming back, although I wonder if they are easier to adhere then they were when KI made them popular. I liked the mega stamp too and would like to have one.

I like the rubber embellishments too and hope we see more.
I would love more non-cheesy Jewish holiday themed products. PTI has some and I own them all now, but there just isn't much out there. I am sure the market is small, so I can't fault the manufacturers, but I still would like some.
I'd love clear or windowed envelops for PL memorabilia. I have some of the opaque ones from BH, but I never use them because once they are in my book you can't see what is in them. Maybe these exist and I have not seen them?

Die Cut shapes. They can be acetate, veneer, rubber, just at long as they fill a small pocket. Mega alphas with duplicates in the set of vowels and high-frequency letters (like s, t, n, l). Bonus points if they're printed acetate (more bang and no bulk). Words in a thin acrylic that fit in a 4x6 pocket. And please no slang, trendy words. I'm thinking months of the year for title cards for those who do their PL monthly. Stamps that add a border/frame to an entire 3x4 or 4x6 card in one shot.

I want to see some silver! Everything the past year has been gold everything. I don't like gold at all so it would be nice for us silver lovers to have some options. There are so many cute lines that I would have bought but didn't just because they had gold on them. I've saved a lot of money this year!

I want to see a masculine, versatile paper and embellishment line, like the American Crafts "Chap" collection from a few years ago. Something that's not so themey like a lot of boy/masculine lines are.

I loved it too ashley! I think I've used very little scrap of the paper and just have a few embellishments in my color sorted trays. It was a great one!

Funny you should bring it up because I was just looking at my Chap stuff this morning! I'm hoarding it like crazy. Yes to more boy / masculine stuff! My son is really into Minecraft (just mine? ) so I would love to see some building block inspired stuff for boys. And how about words like "courage" instead of "pretty" that could be used for either sex?

I liked the mega stamp too and would like to have one. I like the acetate shapes, too. Following on my theme above, I'd like to see some bigger ones. Most of the ones I have are quite smallish.

YES to more silver! Too much gold lately and am loving the little pops of silver I'm finally starting to see.
I also like the idea of the larger alphas but only if they come with more than one vowel and popular consonants.

Harry Potter, Pac-man, Star Wars (more, what is out there seems very limited), Star Trek and and Super Mario paper or embellishments. There are some Strawberry Shortcake die cuts for Silhouette but I want old school Strawberry Shortcake. They do have Care Bears I am probably weird but I would like to see alphabet stickers that come with a separate but matching sheet of just vowels. So you could potentially use up all those consonants without buying more x's, z's and q's. Yes I could cut my own letters but sometimes I still use stickers. If there was some way to set certain scrapbook pages to music...

Even better if they have holes already, but I can manage.

I would like to see more childhood themed stuff that's gender neutral - or at least doesn't have gendered words all over it.
Love the colours and themes aimed at boys but am scrapping a girl...'all boy' just doesn't work...and surely I'm not raising the only little girls who hate pink/purple, love bold colours (red, blue, orange, green) and prefer blocks and trucks to barbies and princesses?

What is a mega date stamp? Do I want one, too?
I want more dies of different themes. I have lots of flowery PTI ones. I want other shapes, I think. I want boyish things too that are dies like a computer die or a gaming control die.
I want Worldwin Yardstick and National Cardstock 4z to come back to Bazzill which has gone.
I want good acetate shapes. I remember KI Memories Alphabet Soup? Was that what it was called? Can't remember. I have and used them. I want other shapes.
Remember the metals prong things that we used to pierce the page. I can't remember what they are called. ScrapWorkz things...I can't remember. I ordered the MEGA pack from QVC and I sent them back because they were just not going to work for me.
I would love for Melissa Frances to come out with some more vintage stickers. My LSS got 4 different packages of them in. I showed restraint and got 2. I could have had all of them. (DUMB planning on my part!)

More stuff i want to see are 2x2 Quickutz-like alphabets. I use them and never use the Silhouette or my Cricut. I want to love them, but my die cut letters are so much easier. I don't have to plot on the paper where they'll go. I also can't do mirror image on the matt. I don't understand mirror image so when you have to place the shape in the bottom left to print on the top right...I can't think like this spatially.

Something that's not so themey like a lot of boy/masculine lines are. Oh, the AC Chaps line is my all time favorite boy line. I bought it and used nearly every scrap. Then I was at a LSS in Billings, MT that was closing and they had almost everything! I bought it all. I just got it out again this week for my grandson's album.

Is there such a thing as a back to school line that ISN'T all primary colors? I was looking through all of my stuff this weekend for anything to use with my kid's BTS pics and *nothing* matches. At all. Even went shopping at a big, nice LSS on the way to the crop we were attending and they didn't have anything either that wasn't primary colors.

She can't stand pink. I want & need embellishments that are feminine gendered, but in bold colors. I don't mind the word "Gorgeous" as an embellishment, but don't only offer it in pink, please! Give me options, people!

My BTS pictures are full of brown (pants), orange (t-shirt), camo (backpack), silver and aqua (shoes). None of it goes with the back to school themed items that are around. Would like to see more options here as well.

Those colors are in there but there is also orange, brown and aqua and green.

We are going back a long time now, but I do remember it. There were also board game embellishments that I bought for Monopoly, Candyland, Clue etc. I wish I had photos of us playing those games (DS and I) because the rules were very specific...he had to win every game! (It was so cute!)

linda!!! Bless you for taking those photos! You are awesome! I didn't scrap then and didn't need photos of us playing board games. I will just write down the "rules" we played with and do a one big game layout. You have photos and that is the BEST!!!! (you are getting how happy I am for you, right? I love it when people have lightbulb moments like this!)
