Oscraps
What kind of kit are you looking for?

And to answer my own question,
I would love to scrap with kits that show feminism in the times from about 1550 - 1900. I'm a real feminist, and there are a few women in history that are such a great example, like the first women that went to university, wrote books, paved the way for women to vote and so on.
I love mixed media and art journaling, masks, paints, gesso, brushes, stamps and so on, so femistic kits from the period mentioned above would be awesome!

I would not mind seeing more Steampunk Kits.
I love History and the Victorian era was the beginning of women being allowed to do their own thing.
Add in the steampunk era - because electricity was never discovered for whatever reason - then you have a whole new genre!!!

I’d love to see a feminist kit with messages of empowerment instead of the ones that focus on the disparities and inequalities that still do exist. I have seen kits that focus on that and I don’t buy them because I am not looking for a negative message or a “down with men” (like any thing a man can do women can do better” kind ) messages.
We focus too much on victim hood instead of celebrating the success we HAVE had because of the strong ladies who didn’t take no for an answer in our past.
Things like “You’ve Come a long way baby!!” ( yeah, showing my age here / LOL) or silhouettes of active happy women, an alpha so we can make our own words of empowerment…

I agree with you somewhat. Negative messages are never good. There will always be differences between people, so yes, also between men and women. When I talk about equality between men and women it is mostly about pay for the jobs we do. In the Netherlands men still get paid more than women doing the same job.
Yes it would be great when more women would have jobs on high levels, like in the government or being CEO for a company or so. That however is not the main issue. I want women to have a choice. To chose for themselfes. And when a woman choses to be a stay at home mom for her kids, then that is great, because it is her own choice!
Crafty Buttons has many kits that are women-oriented as well as some very cool vintage ones. (Search for Flea Market Finds).
Idgie has some vintage ones too.

Vegan/vegetarian. I know there are plenty vegetable kits out there, but they almost always focus on gardening. And some about food, but then it's like salad. I want stuff about vegan cooking and vegan dinners. I sort of gof tired of a designer making a kit, I've started on one by myself. So far, I have made a huge collection of wordart.
Hmmm … interesting. What would see a vegan kit look like? I’m having trouble visualizing what would be in it and what it would be used for.

I'm totally tired right now. Will reply tomorrow.
I'm not sure, but maybe something about pigs,chickens and cows being happy and people still having a good meal. We cook meals with kidney beans or lentils. No meat, just as healthy, or even more healthy. It's not an easy topic but there are so many choices between meat and no meat. I think it's about showing food can be just as good without animal products.

]What I'm talking about in short is kinda cooking kit, but with no meat & more legumes. And with an attitude. Here are the previews I've made for my stickers:
I can use cooking themed kits & combine with veggie garden kits, but it doesn't always match that well, and there are never images of legumes, tofu & stuff like that. Personally, I mainly scrap about the food/dinner/cooking side of being a vegetarian, but you could also scrap about the "moral" side of it.
Here are a couple of LOs I made:

I swear, my brain was already formulating a comeback as you are telling me to shut up.
Dang, those stickers are really cool! (If you end up selling them somewhere-- please let me know)
I've been expanding my vegan cooking a lot recently and am also interested in a kit. I can document some of my hits (and misses)
as I learn.
Another kit theme that I would love to see more of in the shop is hiking, nature trails, that sort of thing

Very interesting, Eva! Thanks for that great explanation!
I would be happy to find some more material about everyday things in a kit. Whether it's a broom, a vacuum cleaner, a hair dryer, a lawn mower or tools, you can also conjure up something funny from these topics, especially when my husband in overalls is on the ladder again...
I would love to see more scrapbook kits that celebrate the beauty of daily life. Kits that capture the essence of our everyday routines, from going to work and preparing dinner to taking care of our loved ones and keeping our homes clean. It would be wonderful if these kits incorporated mixed media elements like paints, stamps, stitches, overlays, and papersnips, allowing us to add unique and artistic touches to our scrapbook pages. By combining the ordinary with the creative, these kits would help us treasure the small moments that make up our lives and turn them into beautiful memories to cherish.
Oh yes, this!!!
I would also love to see more mixed media scrapbook kits that capture the beauty of nature and outdoor adventures. Kits filled with paints, stamps, stitches, overlays, and papersnips would allow us to create stunning pages that showcase our hiking experiences and nature trails.

That's a certain style of kits, more for traditional American scrapbooking. I don't see designers like Natali, or ET designs come with that sort of themes.
I'm always happy with I can find kits that work for boys. I scrap my 19-year-old grandson and my 12-year-old grandson and I have to get creative sometimes. I don't like flowers on my guy pages - however, that being said, there are "flowers:" that I call "boy flowers" - they're kind of funky or more like big buttons, so they work. Also, now that we live in the country and have all gone "country", I'd like some country kits. I know there are a few in the store, and I've used them, but they're beautiful country road types. I'd love some kits with cowboy boots, hats, The kids go to lots of country singer concerts, and they all wear their western gear. Also there are lots of bunfire parties this time of year and live bands and those cool light bulbs strung through the trees. I just asked for a whole lot of things there, didn't I???
I know this is off-topic, but have to say that I adore your signature, the colors are gorgeous!
