Hi Kate! I’m from Texas and would love to a western/rodeo theme. Cowboy, cowgirl, lasso, boots, bandana print, sheriff’s star, armadillo, buckin’ bronco, rodeo clown, cactus, tumbleweed, longhorn cattle, rattlesnake, etc.
Down on the farm! Growing food, caring for farm animals from chickens to cows and the clothes that make it more comfortable to do the chores. Big floppy hats, irrigation boots and jeans, overalls and flannel shirts. My grandchildren love to help their Grandpa do the chores and are very upset if they don’t get to help.
Hi Kathy,
The contest has closed (deadline was 29th Feb!) but thanks for your suggestions! I do have plans to make some farm doodles very soon!
Just had my first grand baby so I would love to see a baby themed set. Can’t imagine how cute you would make it! Thanks for letting us give you ideas.
Baby doodles are on my “Must Make” list for this year Stacy!! Thanks for the suggestion.
Thank you all so much for all the wonderful suggestions, this little lot should keep me busy for the next nine years!! 🙂
I’ll be using a random number generator to chose the winning themes later tonight and will contact the winners then! Thanks again for your support!
Just had another fun idea for you at the last minute of the contest. A fun, yoga for kids type of kit. The set could have a mat, a lotus, … but also the animals that the poses are named after (a dog stretching buth up and down, a pigeon, a cat with back rounded and a cow with back curved down, kids or people in the warrior poses, …).
Can’t wait to see what wins and what you come up with!
Congrats on the anniversary, and thanks for having the contest once again. I love your Wizardry bundle and I was thinking an expansion on the HP universe would be great! Maybe all the creatures (dragon, phoenix, mermaid, centaur, house elves, …), maybe a character or two in their wizard robes, …
It has been mentioned already but I’d like a generic set of kids. I’d also love to see some teacher clipart. Teachers at a desk, at a chalkboard, with a laptop or tablet, etc.
Happy Anniversary! Thanks for the opportunity to put in a request! All my boys love Star Wars and have light saber fights almost daily – even my 2 year old. Would love doodles of characters, lightsabers, action, etc.
Thanks!
I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE a pack of pictures of kids. I use a cute picture of a kiddo on the front of many of my products for teachers and that would be perfect. I think this would appeal to many teachers and scrapbookers alike!
I’d also like the English country house theme that Maddy suggested (#56 above):
“I love visiting English country houses so I think Jane Austen or Downton Abbey doodles with a maid, butler, vintage dressed men and women, vintage cars, ornate frames, big vases and aspidistra, signs for tearoom, don’t touch etc anything along those lines!”
Something about emotions (kid faces,shy,embarassed, happy, sad…)
Happy Anniversary!! I’ve seen a lot of great ideas! And I like them all ^_^ Here’s mine: a LOTR/the Hobbit kit, a Sherlock Holmes (books/movie/tv) kit, tea/coffee/hot chocolate—>time related kit, a ‘The Little Prince’ kit and most of all something about Studio Ghibli/Hayao Miyazaki universe (maybe a series?). Thank you and happy anniversary again!
I would also add: something Victorian Age related (Jane Austen’s works and ‘Jane Eyre’ are among my fave books, and I loved the ‘North&South’ BBC adaptation) and Agatha Christie’s Poirot with his little grey cells! 😀
I love visiting English country houses – think Jane Austen or Downton Abbey – so doodles with a maid, butler, vintage dressed men and women, vintage cars, ornate frames, big vases and aspidistra, signs for tearoom, don’t touch etc – anything along those lines!
Well… this is far out there and I know it’s a small market but we have longhorn cattle that are pets and love them like I love dogs. I scrap them all the time and while it’s easy to find farm and cow elements, there are absolutely zero things out there for longhorns. I’m guessing this might be something a University of Texas fan would appreciate also but as long as you’re asking, I’m wishing. 🙂 Thank you!
I would love to see something that includes all aspects of medical, not just the usual docs and nurses: respiratory therapy, orthopedics, physical therapy, dialysis, rehab, etc …adult and pediatric, male and female, even medical clerks, receptionists, and volunteers
Wow, what diversity!!! For me pet store, pet rescue, Zoo, birds, and 2 things I have not been able to find; Great Danes or Ferrets. Would love a great kit of either and know you could pull it off! love your work!!!
A pack about France, Africa, Vietnam, Italy…would be so nice!!!!
I would like also a pack with helicopter, train, bus, motorcycle, hot air balloon with passengers (adults and kids). Thank you! 🙂
Would love orchestra doodles (esp. strings) — violin, viola, cello, bass, music notes, music staff, sheet music, music stand
Afternoon tea would be awesome 🙂
Cute Dinosaurs & Dragons please x
How about Chinese New Year?
Happy Anniversary! I adore your work! I’d love to see a space-related pack: space ship, moon, planets, astronaut (male and female & grown-up like your scientist–I would love to see more adults!).
OR, how about a teen driving set? First car, license, study guide, cones, keys, driver instructor with teen driver in car, a no texting & driving sign, car radio with music blaring, etc, etc.
I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE a sled dog themed pack. My Siberian Husky is our class mascot, so I could use this pack in a lot of our classroom activities! A sled, husky/huskies, snow flake, dog collar, paw print, dog bone, things like that would be AMAZING!!!
Like your other sports themed doodles, I am still holding out hope that one of these days I will see Basketball doodles from you. I hate begging but I am willing to beg. *Winks hahah
I would love a pack or kit totally themed to Cacti and succulents. Because I love scrapping my plants, its something that would get used lots. Thank you for the great contest.
I’m sorry, but we just got THE cutest picture of our grandson in his Halloween costume….. yes, still, today, and almost everyday. He wants to be a cop, like Uncle Kyle and Great Uncle Clint. Kolten is just such a studly 5-year-old and I’d love to see a really cute police kit, similar to your Fire Up kit!
(or the backyard animals that I mentioned above)
Thanks!!!
Happy Anniversary!
If you do a zoo, can you add in a giraffe – that would be great.
I’d love to see an LA/Hollywood doodle set.
Congrats on your anniversary. I’d love a horseback riding kit.
Another Valentine kit that would match up with your darling kit called Love and Romance
Congrats on your anniversary! I personally would love a First Communion set or a Bible-themed set for my religious education class.
Oh my gosh, there are already SO many great ideas! I’d really have a hard time deciding………… Seriously, love the birds thing, but I’d love to see a boatload of “backyard animals”. Bird, of course, robin, cardinal, chickadee, nuthatch, blue jay, goldfinch, etc. etc., etc. But I’d also like lake animals-birds, heron (blue and white), trumpeter swan, bald eagle, Canada goose, mallard duck, beaver, otter, muskrat, deer, squirrel, bugs-insects, and even a couple fish. We have it all! And we LOVE IT!
Happy Anniversary! So thrilled for you.
I’d also like to see something with U.S. Presidents: Geo Washington, Abraham Lincoln, FDR, etc.
I’d like to see a new baby kit: onesies, babies, pacifiers, bracelet, mobile, etc.
I would like a pack about sugaring season. A sugar shack, maple, maple syrup, maple taffy on snow, maple sugar, pork grills, beans, ham, pancakes, scrambled eggs. Sugaring season is very popular in Canada and United States. 🙂
I know you have a Family Tree kit, but I really would like to see a more detailed “family history type” kit. One that includes people doodles, mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, boy, girl, baby. A tree with branches, maybe some national costumes or flags, a ship, world maps….things that relate to “finding out who one is”.
Hi, First congratulations on your anniversary.
The kit I would like most is a cousin, aunt ,uncle BF and keeping in contact kit.
Actually it is sort of like two different wishes, but combined. LOL There are a lot of kits out there that are family themed, but not many ( if any ) that specifically cater for cousins and aunts, it is nearly always mum and dads, sisters and brothers. But some of us don’t have any of those left so….. pretty please if you feel like it, something
like 2 people connected by a phone .( old fashioned cord phone is ok ) letters , airmail envelopes, pens
stamps, care parcels in brown paper, calendar pages with a big x on, more “grown up “people , home knitted sweaters or socks still on needles. Computers, screens, message symbols ( fake skype type of thing ) perhaps a bit of word art or some kind of borders to tie it all in.
I’d love to see a competitive swimming and diving team kit. Thanks for the chance.
All things techie related…. computers, tablets, laptops, cellphones, ipods, fitbits and cameras.. with desks and work stations. I would love, love, love to see a kit doodled on this theme. Thank you so much for the chance!
HORSES: basically just doodled horses (in different colors- brown, white, spotted, etc) and a couple of saddles, leads, etc. Whatever goes with them…like on a farm or ranch.
My granddaughter LOVES them and I am having a hard time finding any good ones!
Our (sis&BIL’s) pug is a real character, and I would love to see a Kit that shows pugs in different positions, and situations. Maybe going for a walk, tilting his head to the side, panting, and examples below, etc. He’s fawn color with a light black stripe down his back. Brindle and black pugs would be cool, too. And he’s about 30 pounds and 14″ tall, and most of that is leg, he’s tall for a pug.
Examples: sitting like an old man (pics in my grrfluudy gallery @ TLP) 2. different pug facial expressions 3. kicking up his back legs to show what a big dog he is when big dogs bark at him.So, interacting with other dogs would be great, too. 4. He hates water, going to great lengths to avoid it 5.digging kleenex out of the trash to eat it (and getting in trouble when he gets caught) so doodles of those situations. triumphant with the kleenex – getting it taken away, etc. 6. He’s a total bed hog, and can take up an entire double bed himself, leaving a 160lb person with about a foot of space (ok, me), and he’s impossible to budge. He snores like a buzzsaw. 7. He loves carrots, cheese and tomatoes. However, grandpa spoils him & gives him people food he’s not allowed to have. grandpa also takes him on walks most often, grandpa is his favorite 8. he naps as often as a cat. 9. He loves everyone, and shakes his entire rear end, not just his curly tail when someone comes over. And no bare toes are safe! He loves to lick toes.
A pug kit like this would be awesome! Thanks for the chance, and Happy Design-Anniversary Kate!!
Budapest in Hungary will host the FINA World Championship in 2017 for water sports – waterpolo, swimming, synchronized swimming, diving. I would be happy to see some themes relating to these water sports. And since my child is playing waterpolo, I would appreciate a little bit more of waterpolo.
Rescue Pet theme.
Crossfit theme.
Lovely doodles!
I’d love a bundle of different kinds of trees – a variety of spruce and a pine, a deciduous and even a palm tree. Along with some stumps, and some mushrooms. I’d like summer trees, but maybe a snow laden spruce would be nice too. So, basically all the trees that I spotted throughout my search, put into one bundle, haha.
I’m a tree lover, so I’d get good use out of the tree/stump/shroom bundle. So, I’ll request that 🙂
(side note: I love Trisha’s bird theme request too!)
I have looked EVERYWHERE for a ‘play shopping’ themed kit. I would LOVE to see a doodle pack with this theme. It would have a plastic looking shopping cart, play cash register, some play coins, and then some food items that ‘look’ like play food rather than actual food (more plastic or wood looking than real)…especially looking for some can goods and ‘box’ type items, egg cartons, and milk carton type food items.
I would like to see something with either weiner dogs in crazy costumes and just regular Dachshunds and doggy themed stuff. OR my son is crazy about panda bears. He has a Build A Bear one that wears outfits like a fireman, chef, military, sheriff and even as a football (Chicago Bears) player. Bernie has gone on many adventures with us including to the zoo to see the Red Pandas which are not the same thing but cute. Thanks for the chance and Happy Anniversary.
What fun !!!!! I would love a doodle kit with all kinds of colorful reptiles ( snakes, lizards, frogs etc)
I love your style and designs. I would love to see dog agility kit – I haven’t been able to find one anywhere.
Buildings, Cityscapes or Artsy Houses, Pretty Please
I want a dance kit that includes boys! Boys have dance recitals too & there just isn’t anything out there. A doodle of a little boy in black pants & a white tee shirt, that’s all I ask <3 -Jesskab
Congratulations on 9 years, Kate! I know you have birds in lots of your kits but I would love one of just birds. I live on a lake and have a lot of birds visiting my feeders – downy woodpecker, red-headed woodpecker, pileated woodpecker, bluejay, brown-headed nuthatch, white-breasted nuthatch, eastern bluebird, crow :), carolina wren, cardinal, tufted titmouse, carolina chickadee, dark-eyed junko, northern flicker, bald eagle, house finch, brown thrasher. Yes, I know, that’s lots of birds 🙂 I would never ask you to do all of them but I wanted you to have a choice of a few. Thank you for all these fun things during your anniversary 🙂
I here you! Lovely idea!
I’m in Alberta, Canada, and have these too: downy woodpecker, hairy woodpecker, pileated woodpecker, Yellow bellied sapsucker, bluejay, red-breasted nuthatch, white-breasted nuthatch, black capped chickadee, boreal chickadee, dark-eyed junko, northern flicker, ruby throated hummingbird, tree swallow, house wren, bohemian waxwing, common redpoll, pine siskin, american goldfinch, and more. Just yesterday, I saw amazing red crossbills! Creation is lovely!!
Really love your idea!
I’d love to see a set of kids that wasn’t holiday-themed–just regular kids doing regular things.
Science Fair Project set!! I could totally use that right now!!! lololol Although, I would really love to see a big performing arts set with dance stuff (Ballet, tap, jazz etc), acting, music, singing, backstage, props, and stuff. Or I can always use more basketball scrapbook stuff too!! 😉
I’d love to see a weather set- rain/snow/sun, types of clouds, weather gear-raincoat, umbrella, sunglasess, snow boots, thermometer, weather map, meteorologist. Happy Anniversary, Kate!
I’d like a music one with a piano and a French Horn and other band instruments and music notes and a music stand and a black music folder and a baton and a guitar and a choir of singers and a bouquet of roses and maybe some goofy singing themed doodles like a frog for a frog in the throat or a little horse for a hoarse voice or a rain cloud for being under the weather or gargle or throat lozenges – maybe one kit for singers and one kit for band and one for orchestra even? =)
I’d love a toothy one too (tooth fairy, penny, toothbrush & toothpaste, a gappy smile, various “fallen out” teeth, then the braces and appointment card, word art like “from this…to this” or before/after, gapp, grinny, ouch, uh oh!), and I’d love a kit with doodles about walking out in the rain (wellie boots, umbrellas, rain coats, puddles, muddy patches, piles of wet laundry), but more than anything else, I’d love something STAR WARS! thanks! 🙂
…another idea – a sewing kit (sewing machine as well as hand sewing paraphernalia)
If you do a zoo, can you add parakeets!!! We often feed the parakeets at our small local zoo, which is so much fun, but no one has a kit for that.
I would love a kits of Christmas accents that I can use with all your other great Christmas kits to “set the scene.” I would love a holiday wreath, swag with big red bows (for along the top of a page), a Christmas decorated front door, pointsettia’s, decorated mailbox, etc. The kit could be called Holiday Decorations and coordinate with all your other Christmas kits!!!
I would like a kit on “videogames”, something like video consoles, controller, games, score, players, winners, game over ….
I’d like to see lots of flowers. Lots and lots of them. Spring flowers. Summer flowers. Fall flowers. Winter flowers. And things like the leaves and grasses, berries and weeds, cattails, pussywillows…just all kinds of things like that.
Kate, I have two ideas for you. First one, I need something for teeth – think tooth fairy, lost tooth, braces on/off, that sort of thing. (I think you may have had one at one point but for the life of me I can’t find it in my stash!) The other idea is something along the lines of Barbie, playing house, dress-up, that sort of thing, for my young daughter. Thanks!
A zoo animals with a zoo keeper. A community helpers pack
Comment #3 must be lucky!
I would love to see a Volleyball doodle kit 🙂 specially in red t shirt , its the t-shirt color of the team of my girls 🙂 OR a doodle of my family, I can give you our family picture 🙂
