I'm a sucker for...

[adrianka]

...thematic kits. My fave themes are:

- Christmas
- music (anytime, anywhere)
- sea & beach
- art & painting & crafts
- travelling (even though I'm still waiting for trains to appear in them)
- Paris (oh well)
- wine

ETA:
- autumn
- coffee
- camping/forest


I think I have more music kits than I can ever use, but when I see one that I like, I take it anyhow.

What can't YOU resist? :-)

[ZaCola3]

In no particular order...

cloud paper
sunshine elements
buttons
camera elements or papers
fantastic templates

[Freckles]

oh yes, cloud paper gets me every time!
Also cute characters: kids or animals, handdrawn cute stuff like toys, cars, a smiling sun, a cute tree...
unique color combinations (that match!) Jenn is a master in using unique, gorgeous color combinations for her kits!
Autumn kits. I just love the colors, I will go out for Autumn photos with my kids with certain kits already in mind (and make sure their clothes match!)

[suladesign]

Autumn and Christmas kits.

Just can't help it, though we usually don't get much of a fall season here (with pretty fall colors and the likes), and usually Christmas isn't a season here either! So, I don't have much use for those kinds of kits, and yet, I love to collect them!

Kim, I love you matching up your kids with the kits!

[adrianka]

But of course! Autumn! Forgot about it. And I forgot COFFEE-themed ones!

As for fave elements, I'm not sure if I can think of all... I love newsprint papers/elements, wood papers/elements, flowers (how predictable), leafage, photo corners, frames, pine cones, map papers, wooden fences, wheat.... and loads more I'm sure.

As for styles, I love anything urban or vintage. And I don't mind realistic flowers.

[MamaBee]

I'm a total sucker for school and beach kits... and I don't even live close to a beach!

Unique themed elements get me every time, too... I'm always thinking, how can I make that into an educational game for kiddo...

[mrshobbes]

Oh man, I go through phases. Right now I'm really loving vintagey kits.

I'm also a sucker for travel kits in any form: modern, vintage, cutesy, etc. Which is hilarious since I hardly travel.

Also a sucker for summer and spring-themed kits. Oh, and fall--and we don't HAVE fall here!

Don't worry, we're all in this together. I've never been to Paris and yet I collect Paris kits, I live away from the sea and yet I collect anything sea/beach-themed, and as for the camping/forest ones - I never go camping, I just love the forest bits of them. :-)

[ayaandjudah]

I am a sucker for any type of school kit. TOTAL sucker.

And baby kits.

and any kit that has multiple gorgeous flowers.

Oi, I smell trouble! :-D

[joelsgirl]

I love beach kits and kits with bright, happy colors.

I talk myself out of themed kits easier than generic kits, though, because I think, "I've already got a birthday kit..."

Adriana, you have no idea. Seriously. It's an illness. If I see a preview with a lot of flowers I immediately need the kit.

That is baby kits. My son is 5 months old but I'll continue buying baby kits and justify it by saying I have the older two's baby photos that still need to be scrapped.

It's an illness I tell you!

[Starlight-Princess]

I am a total sucker for pattern papers and a kicking alpha!
I love some wordart too.
Any Disneyesque Kit.
Any girly pretty glittery fairy type kit.
Any kit with a lot of clustery elements.
Any kit with an Owl in it and I mean ANY kit.

[hollyxann]

Any Christmas or Autumn kit. I have more of those than I know what to do with. But in general I like theme kits too.

[MandaT]

Autumn
Christmas
School
Country/Farm
Camping
Cooking/kitchen
Recipe card templates (even though, I haven't made but 5 of them lol)
Kits with pretty sunflowers or daisies

[nun69]

school kits
bold colored kits
anything with a camera in it
anything with cute drawings/doodles...I'll buy a whole kit just for the doodles LOL!
I am like Kellie where I like the more generic type kits than the really themed ones....

[Amy Carey]

I'm a patterned paper JUNKIE. and anything Christmas. and it's COMING it's COMING, lol I can't wait!!

[Nettio]

I LOVE travel kits. I don't think there are anywhere near enough around here.

Fun modern patterned papers are my other weakness.

[adrianka]

I have to agree with patterned papers. I love them. I'm very much able to buy a kit based on papers only.

[cardinalskate]

Patterned paper
Paisleys
Rolled flowers
Any templates. Love 'em all.

[seatrout]

I love

Anything really colorful - the bolder and brighter the better.

Also .. anything to do with the sea as we live close by and do a lot of cliff walking

also doodle type elements

Not a great fan of flowers .. although I use them sometimes

[jaylensmom]

Christmas kits...I know I'm going to go broke this year...
Boy kits...as a mom to a boy it's hard to resist any type of boy kits...

[Jengerbread88]

Coffee, BOY kits, soccer kits, pool/water play kits... and this isn't a "theme," but I love kits with LOTS of purple. I mean GOBS of it. Or yellow/blue kits. I have about 10 yellow/blue kits, I think.

It's weird, because I love love looooovvvveee autumn, but I only buy one or two fall kits in a year.

About half of my kits are purchased based on an "OMG I love those papers" moment.

This makes Fee, La, Kristin, Zoe a huge chunk of my current kits.

Agreed. Fee, Penny, Susan & Zoe in my case. And Eva. And... now I think about it, there's not one designer I didn't fall into that trap with. :-)

And now I think about that, I'm a huge sucker for Darcy fonts as well. Oh well. Who isn't. :-)

[pewtertm]

It's perfectly normal. I need to believe that. We all do need to believe that. ;-)

[SeattleSheri]

Kits with lots of unique elements (not the same element recolored 20 ways), brushes, sprays and complimentary color palettes.

[lovely1m]

Christmas kits
Fall kits
Patriotic/4th of July kits
kits with Skulls

I need them all.

[TheHybridMess]

... themed kits.
especially those with cutesy drawn clipart or people.

... kits with people in it. Like Lliella's or Kay's

... flat clipart- that I can blend into a page and make it look drawn on... same with wordart.
... brushes.
... kits with basics like brads, phototurns, photocorners, bookplates, (just not buttons)
... Multi colour basic papers - Dots, stripes or plaid in the full pallette
... Basic papers - this I am so desperate for that I am thinking of making my own polka dotted/ gingham/ candy stripe papers

[Scrapper007]

I can't resist any Halloween kit..I think I have 50 or so.
