Help me decide what to make next!

I could really use a wedding kit ... I have one from another site ... but would really like to do challenges HERE because it will make me get the album done ... it's a present for my friend for Christmas ...

This one I used some from another designer and some from Krystal (black/white/gray kit) ... but would be good for some color in a kit.

Plus I have my sister's wedding from like 1996 I have NEVER scrapped ... it's all jewel tones ... and I don't want to use black/gray/white for it ...

I'm hopelessly addicted to the Portfolio challenges ...

LOL i wouldn't mind trying a karate kit, but I know NOTHING about it. I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do it justice. What kinds of things would you look for in a kit like that? I'll need to research it a bit before I could even try it.

Good luck with this. I've been wanting to design one too because Jordan is in karate, but it's HARD! I cannot wait to see what you come up with! :thumbup:
 
I would love to have a kit based on the MN Wild. It doesn't have to be hockey themed (though a few elements or an add on would be awesome), but the colors and the whole wild/wilderness/North Woods theme would be great. Heres a link to the their website: http://wild.nhl.com/
 
I just found out that our area is going to have a Balloon Festival!!! I would SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO love to have a hot air balloon kit ... I could give ideas ... even take pics for inspiration (or I have some from years ago) ... especially if you give me ideas of what to take pics of...or I can wing it.

Also we will be going to the Whiteman Airforce Base air show that weekend ... military planes ... etc. ... so something along that lines ... or maybe make your Can you see me now kit into one you could use with the AIRFORCE!!

please please huh huh? I'd be happy to take lots of inspiration pictures ... and if you have requests of anything in particular I would try my best to get them for you!

oh oh oh I love the idea of you making an airforce colored version!!! I love that kit!
 
How about a kit to go with a trip to the farmer's market? I took these photos last weekend & have been looking for a kit to scrap them with. I think I am wanting more the color scheme than actual food elements but you could do some cute basket element & maybe some wire elements to go with.

knitting and crocheting with balls of yarn and skeins of yarn ... and ... instead of regular thread stitching ... how about yarn stitching? lil bonnets made of yarn and handknit booties ... lil afghans ... big afghans (think background paper...I could even send you some photographs that could be used as backgrounds...I have 3 different color schemes and 2 different stitch types).... journaling boxes with yarn stitching on them ... or some instructions that are overlapped with a torn paper for journaling ....

Sewing (machine & a needle with thread) ... SERGING ... quiltmaking ... patterns ... lil tomato with pins sticking out of it ... pattern envelopes .... different lil tools you use with sewing (I can give you lots of ideas here) ... including: carbon paper, spiked rolling tool (I can find out name & get pic), pins (use pins instead of staples to hold things ... price tags for journaling), quilting rulers, rolling cutters, self-healing mats (think background paper...with the line markings on it), craft knife, scissors (the kind for sewing ... regular and the pinking shears), the new gadgets that auto make your bias tape ... plus the older kind you had to cut the fabric and then pull it through while ironing (have pics), bobbins, measuring tapes, chalk markers, marking pencils, thread spoons, a background paper of lots of spools of thread,

actual pieced quilts for background papers ... I have quite a few quilts I have made I would photograph for you ... baby and family styles ...

YES!!!! I would SO buy those kits! I love to crochet, and DH surprised me with a sewing machine for our anniversary!
 
*sigh* I only want a 4-H inspired kit. Four leaf clovers, farm animals, blue ribbons, fences, word art that says "1st place," "Champion," etc. I'd probably be the only one that would use a kit like that but I have a whole list of ideas for one . . .
 
There are great kits in the store for boys but not all of them work well for a man. I would enjoy a masculine kit (or two) that highlights some of the things the men in our lives love. My first thoughts are an outdoor kit (fishing, hiking,sailing, horseback riding), Home projects kit (tools,painting,building things), a professional sports fan kit(football,basketball, etc.).

Julie had a great fishing kit ... just looked in the store but I guess she retired it. I looked in my stash and a few of the kits that would have worked for a man have been retired ....

Do you like kits with some grunge ... some tatters ... bold colors ... muted colors ... maybe let Libby know a little bit more what you might think would make the kits look a bit more 'mature' and 'masculine'??

Maybe you could use a few of these... images are linked...





I see what you mean ... I am usually so busy scrapping the boys ... that I don't do a lot with my dh.

That being said ....
 
Libby .... Dolores had a good idea there ... made me start thinking that I probably only do a page or two a year about my dh ... my kids' dad!

Right now my dh is totally into wood working ... wood turning especially ... ok Libby ... I just went down into my husband's work shop and took a lot of pictures ... and can take MORE if you want specifics ... or different angles. Drop me a PM Libby if you are interested in something like this and I will upload the pics to my photobucket or to mediafire if you prefer to download them.

Here are a few of my FAVORITE that dh just turned ...

...and the lathe he turned it on ... his grandfather's ...

...some beautiful walnut wood he has to play with ... I could see papers of different kinds of wood ... zebra wood (my favorite) ... purple heart ... pine ... cherry ... etc.

...and my favorite...isn't it beautiful?

I can take pictures of all the tools he uses, the glues and finishes, sandpaper ... whatever ... if you are interested, LMK. I would love one ...
 
Lots of good ideas here and I would be interested in having those kits too.

If you do a sewing/crochet kit could you include buttons and a button box. I've been wanting to make a page about my grandma's button box that i used to play with as a kid. Actually it was a tin that she saved buttons off of old clothing that was worn out. Then when something lost a button she would show me what the buttons on the shirt looked like and it was my job to search through the hundreds of buttons in her button box to find something she could use to repair the shirt.
 
Sharon, Thanks for the ideas. I'll take a closer look!

Libby, I am sure what every you decide to create will be fabulous! I always look forward to seeing the new releases!
 
I'm going to chime in for a karate kit. Preferably something with some red and yellow in it (as long as I'm chiming in.) :)
