I am a realist so I don’t use papers that are themed wrong. I won’t use a paper with the Eiffel Tower unless I went to Paris. I won’t use stamp embellishments unless they are from the right place. I have a map of Long Island on a tropical paper, looks pretty but that doesn’t work for me. 

This is me. And even more than that I don't like random text or script on my papers and embellishments. Unless it says something relevant to my theme it is a big turn off for me.   

Yes on the text and script also. Sometime I used them to mat photos or put mixed media on top of the text, or something else so it doesn't show. 
  

Wow I thought I was the only one. I have even been known to "clone it out" on a digital paper! One of the perks of digital lol.

I'm another literal scrapper. Sounds like there are a bunch of us!

For me, the turn-off is a cream base to patterned paper (vs. white). I prefer the crisp look of white. Also, if you're combining supplies from different manufacturers, creams are so hard to match.

i agree about the holographic.  i wasn't a fan when i was 12 and definitely not now.  hopefully American Crafts has moved past that, because for at least 2 years it was in every.single.collection they produced.

and i can't believe i forgot to mention mushrooms!  i hate mushrooms!  i don't eat them, i'm sure not scrapping with them.  and they look very phallic to me, eww.

YAASSS! Stupid mushrooms! Why? Lol They're weird. I get a beautiful ephemera pile of leaves and flowers and then ugh, there's the mushrooms!
