Question for those wanting more specific themed kits

What we really need is the theme specific items or word art to make our pages shine! But that is just my opinion....someone else may think differently!

I agree with just about all of this, but I don't think we even need solids. Those can be pulled from any other kit. As for patterned papers, 5 is a good number, or maybe just 4, as long as they are themed. As for the elements, a themed flat ribbon would be good.

Thank you!

I think solids are still a good idea. Think of the beginning scrapper that may not have many kits at all that are looking to scrap about a particular theme. They may not have solids that would go with the kit. Just having a couple solids in a small kit is a good idea. In my beginning days I was very hesitant about using items from different kits... heck, even 16 years later I still am! Putting in 2 or 3 solids would ease that frustration for some. I have several mini kits from over 8 years ago that have no solids... I still haven't used them.

I like the idea of a base kit with smaller add-ons as well.
