Not to let that cat too far out of the bag, but I seem to be working on very manly bundle (at least in my mind). I'm not even sure how it happened, but it is happening.
I agree with the general kit comments and find I tend to use brights the most (closely followed by earthy tones) - and while I love downloading patterned papers, I definitely find myself using solids most. For elements, I love lots of basics - tears, arrows, cords, metals, office supplies etc.
In terms of themes - I'm also transitioning to scrapping teens from scrapping kids and I'm still figuring out what that means My family runs a lot of races & xcountry, so I'm always looking for stuff to scrap that with, and we geocache which is definitely under-represented in scrapbooking (though I have found a kit or two intended for that). I also have a daredevil girl - so I'd go for the boyish kits (I can always add a touch of pink or lime green from another kit ) Oh - and kits appropriate for Missionstrips. Sometimes travel kits work for that, but often they're too "touristy" and not focussed on the right parts of the world (mostly Africa and Latin America/Pacific with a bit of South East Asia thrown in).
Word art - I'd love to see more different languages (German & French is what I'd use most, followed by languages that represent my husband's mission trips which are likely much less common ). Would also love to see some Bible Verses that could be applicable to day to day photos.
Looking forward to seeing all the goodies you come up with!! I appreciate the talented people that make my scrapbooking addiction possible
This is a great thread, thank you all so much for sharing your opinions and ideas!
For the many folks who mentioned wanting a more manly or gender-neutral kit, I get a sense of what elements don't work (flowers, lace, etc.) but I'd love to hear more about what kinds of elements you'd like to see included in this kind of kit.
Yes, Lizanne, I knew exactly what you meant. That phrase just makes me laugh for some reason.

@Marisa, can't wait to see it!
