What's new

What would you ask for?

I'd love to see kits which always have at least one frame, a mask, one or two fasteners, a couple of stitches, paint, a scatter, as well as all the other wonderful elements that are included in kits. While I love to mix things up, sometimes I just don't have the time to go through all my goodies to create a page, especially for speed scraps.

On another note, I'd love to see some different sports featured, besides football and baseball for summer and skating in the winter. Some non-cutsie snowboarding, skiing, watersports elements would be fantastic!
I second Grace's comment about Rebecca's kits - I love her painted people! It would be great to see some in action!

Yes! I love a straight (or almost straight) line of stitches, and I'd also love to have a go-to collection of large (12 by 12, or at least 11 by 11) stitched square borders.

Some of the things that I look for in a kit:
  • Solid papers to match/complement the patterned papers and elements (sure, I can make my own solid if I must, but I'd much rather use a solid that comes with the kit)
  • Small-pattern floral paper: I love floral papers, but I don't really know how to work with big, bold floral patterns, and am always looking for something on a smaller scale
  • In terms of the patterned papers: at least one striped or plaid paper, but a combo of striped and plaid is even better!
  • Trim: baker's twine/string/ribbons/ric rac/lace edges/etc
  • Tags/labels for names, dates, and places
  • Frames (metallic; chipboard; vintage-inspired; theme-y if it's a part of themed kit...). While I often just take the path of least resistance and add a traditional white border to a photo, I do love to work with an interesting or unusual frame
And I'm always on the look-out for heritage kits which make full use of colour, instead of being all black-and-white and sepia-toned...
