Less tan, orange and limey yellow/greens. I like brighter stronger colours over pastels or muted colours.
A variety of dimensional flowers (not all flat please), and not one type of flower recoloured. Each different colour flower should be a different style/design.
Greenery. There must be foliage if there are flowers in the kit. The leafier the better.

- Beautiful colors.
- Lots of (different) flowers and greenery
- Journal cards

I like using butterflies on my layouts, but that's not something I really NEED. It's just "very nice to have".

- the right colors (preferably trendy)
- no monochromatic palettes
- lots of realistic flowers, greenery and a few ribbons
- creative word art
- a few UNIQUE elements to make the kit stand out
- a variety of both patterned and solid paper
- paint/glitter splatters
- a stamp or two

I'm a one kit scrapper too and appreciate big beautiful kits with a unique touch.

It have to have a theme
And by a theme I don´t mean to make a generic kit with a few theme words. I mean lots and lots of theme related embellishments.

I have over 3,000 kits and 600 of them are from SSD (give or take) so really don't need more generic kits (but I do fall in love now and then)

I love clusters, paint splatters and scatters. Those really make my life easier

What everyone else has said! Plus messy paint/splatters/scribbles, brushes, etc - the kind of stuff that Ru and others are brilliant at!

I'm different in that I love generic - can be used a million different ways - kits!! I don't mind themed kits, but I feel like I would only use them that one time... whereas less themey stuff goes a MUCH longer way with me!!

I have used a million different kits with a different mix of things included and while I have my favorites, I can make most kits work as long as they have these 3 things:

1. A balanced mix of flat (labels, tape, paper pieces, paint, word art etc.) and textural elements (flowers, foliage, ribbon, string, buttons etc.). Too many flat elements makes it hard to layer and cluster nicely. Too many textural elements makes the page feel like it's missing something.
2. Papers with small patterns or tone-on-tone colors. A bunch of multi-colored busy big patterns makes it hard to scrap. I actually prefer scrapping with the 'boring' papers.
3. A color scheme with contrast. When all the colors mush together it makes the page feel blah. I like color schemes with both light and dark colors for contrast.

Same here... I love to SEE the bright colorful paper, but at the end since I use lots of pictures and journaling in my pages, always end up with the "boring" papers

For me I like neutral color pallet, or a simple color pallet (B&W with a pop or two of color). For papers I NEED a white and/or black background (or at least a simple light pattern to use as my base). As far as elements go, I like messy paint, scribbles/doodles, a variety of flowers (colors and types), I tend to use small simple leaves and greenery more, I like twine and curly ribbons, buttons are a MUST! Ummm..... word bits, and quote cards. Oh! I love page borders too I'd love to see more artsy frames that look like page borders...

I don't need a theme, but do love word art that can be used for many pages.
Pretty colors
Word art
buttons!
flowers, dimensional
Greenery
Ribbon/string
paint/overlays
I like less busy papers, too. Tone on tone or textured. I rarely use "busy" papers!
