A couple of thoughts...
Mini Circles of Words - with just one word eg Memories, Family, Remember, Moments, Forever, Beautiful - the top half of the circle the word is read like a rainbow, the bottom half of the circle the word is read like a smile - so the word isn't upside down at the bottom. It would be extra cool if they fitted inside your Circle Stampers (http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=5642), so that they could be mixed and matched. You could even have a second set of words, like Explore, Imagine, Dream, Discover, Grow,
I see that somebody has requested a learning to ride a bike kit... it would be cool to have word art for this.
"Four Wheels, Three Wheels, Two Wheels"
"Just like Riding a Bike"
"Look! No Trainer Wheels"
"Just a little Wobbly"
"Watch Out!"
"Trading in my Trike"
Edit: Just thinking maybe make that last one...."Trading Up"... then it could be used for when kids go from one bike to another"

Well, I don't have specific quotes, but for themes, I would love to see....
more childhood Word Art - I know you have bunches, but I have bunches of photos of Carrie, so more is always welcome. (Things I Love About You....could work for child or adult: "I love your smile", "I love your sense of Humour", "I love your sensitivity".....etc.)
I would love each one a complete quote rather than a mix-match, because each could then be done in a different font, spacing, etc.
Would also love a word art set that works for pages I scrap abput myself......Examples: "I am the luckiest Mom in the world", "I'm not getting older, I'm getting better", "I wish I knew then what I know now", "So I'm not perfect"......
Also would love a set when I scrap pages about me as a baby or child (or Bob, or anyone, that are older photos and not current). Most of the childhood/baby quotes are more relevant to a photo of a person who is currently a baby or child. I would like quotes like "Gee, I sure was cute" or "What a cutie you were", "I loved to dress you up"....stuff like that.
bump! more suggestions for this weeks bonuses, please!

I like that, inspirational quotes about achieving or over coming diffuculties.
I know you just did one for music but maybe some that are a bit more playful and fun that deal with music.
childhood quotes about mischief would be good too

I'd love a wordart kit about "humor" in life. :D
for example:
Every survival kit should include a sense of humor. ~Author Unknown
Humor is a reminder that no matter how high the throne one sits on, one sits on one's bottom. ~Taki
Above all else: go out with a sense of humor. It is needed armor. Joy in one's heart and some laughter on one's lips is a sign that the person down deep has a pretty good grasp of life. ~Hugh Sidey

I'd love more family member titles/quotes: husband, wife, son, daughter, mother, father. grandmother, grandfather, granddaughter, grandson. Maybe these could be done in separate kits - like Family of Girls, Family of Boys I wouldn't mind if they were done as fancy single word titles like your Doodle Delights.

I would like some word art about and for Parents like
What i know about family I learnt from my parents.
Or ones about Loving parents
and how they still love each other after all this time.
So I guess family love quotes you could use on layouts of your parents both when they were younger and now as they are older and been together for so long. done

Today I found a quote book that I used to love, long ago hidden in a box in the garage. Here are a few samples that I would love some word art for:
Under the title Believe in Miracles:
"Where there is great love there are miracles." - Willa Cather
"Miracles happen to those who believe in them." - Bernard Berenson
All the things of the universe are perfect miracles, each as profound as any." - Walt Whitman
"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle." - Albert Einstein
"Expect a miracle!" - Oral Roberts

And another set, under the title Alter Your Attitude: done (substituted some quote ;) )
"Words are mere bubbles of water, but deeds are drops of gold." - Chinese Proverb- done
"The meaning of things lies not in the things themselves but in our attitude towards them." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery
"Remember happiness doesn't depend upon who you are or what you have; it depends solely upon what you think." - Dale Carnegie
"Ultimately ... it's not the stories that determine our choices, but the stories that we continue to choose." - Sylvia Boorstein
"Change your thoughts and you change your world." - Norman Vincent Peale done

Those are great quotes, but I can only use a handful of them. For me to legally be able to use them in a for profit venture they must have been published prior to 1922 to full under Public Domain Laws :)

Some Circles of Day's - so a little circle (ie only the word twice) with Monday etc, top and bottom (sad mouth, happy mouth) style. And then a set of the numbers 1-31 to go inside - so that you can mix and match. Maybe even with a solid ring to go round the outside of it all. -done!
Sports Word Art:
"Sports do not build character. They reveal it"
"We didn't lose the game; we just ran out of time"
"Don't let your victories go to your head, or your failures go to your heart"
"Enjoy when you can, and endure when you must"
"You may not be the winner, but there is a winner inside you"

I'd love to see a wordart kit about horses. Some quotes I've found that I like:
A horse is poetry in motion. ~Author Unknown
There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man. ~Winston Churchill
No hour of life is wasted that is spent in the saddle. ~Winston Churchill
He knows when you're happy
He knows when you're comfortable
He knows when you're confident
And he always knows when you have carrots.
~Author Unknown
To ride a horse is to ride the sky. ~Author Unknown
The essential joy of being with horses is that it brings us in contact with the rare elements of grace, beauty, spirit, and fire. ~Sharon Ralls Lemon

Tina, I LOVE your word art
I would like to see - Greeting card word art... Get Well.. Happy BD, Happy Mother's (Mum's) Day,
Happy Anniversay... etc...
And, Maybe for greeting cards.... Just keeping in touch... Friendship sayings... (I have a few - if you want them),
I do a lot of home made cards...
But, I like Word Art... way cooler than just using a font...

I'm sure I posted this in another thread... but can't find it tonight, so here they are again.
You might have noticed I've been on a bit of a Family Tree quest in the last couple of weeks. So I'm really in need of some more Family Tree word art and the following would be really cool.
A: A set of Ancestry stamps for the store (there could actually be a couple of different version of these – plain, grungy, elegant).
Rectangle stamp with lines for: Name, Born, Place, Died, Place, Married to, Date, Place
Rectangle stamp with lines for: Father, Mother, Children (multiple lines here)
Rectangle Journaling stamp in same theme with just lines.
Small stamp with lines: Name, Born, Died
Small stamp with lines: Groom, Bride, Date, Place
B: A set of Genealogy – Migration & Places stamps/word art
Stamp with: Vessel/Ship (not sure which it should be), Departed Place, Date, Arrived Place, Date
Stamp with: Departed Place, Date, Arrived Place, Date (suitable for people who maybe have immigrated on a plane etc)
Stamp with: Moved from, Date, Moved To, Date
Stamp with: Family Home, From, To
Word Art: Our ancestors ... possessed a right, which nature has given to all men, of departing from the country in which chance, not choice has placed them.
Thomas Jefferson
C: A set of Genealogy – Census stamps would also be handy.
A census stamp: Census date, Place
A stackable census circle stamp with the census years, Actually that would need a set of dates for the US, the UK, and Canada. So circle’s of “Found in the Census”, “United Kingdom”, “United States”, “Canada”, “1841, 1851, 1861, 1871, 1881, 1881, 1891, 1901, 1911”, “1851, 1861, 1871, 1881, 1891, 1901, 1906, 1911, 1916”, “1790, 1800, 1810, 1820, 1830, 1840, 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880, 1890, 1900, 1910, 1920, 1930, 1940”. With a circle to stamp over the appropriate years.
“Found in the Census” stamp
Pretty please with pineapple lumps and crunchies on top.

I've been trying to teach my teens that happiness is a choice that we make. How about some wordart along that line. I saw this one in a catalog...
There is no way to happiness,
happiness is the way.
Happiness is...
or another completely different idea is to use famous lines from movies either old or new.

I've been on an heritage kick lately as has Fiona. I have to ditto her comments and say I would love an oval stamp that said Circa and a place to add the date and then Memories or something on the bottom. I'm thinking along the lines of the destination stamps you did but a little grungier and older looking. Does that even begin to make sense? LOL! The bottom could say memories, homeplace, family, Census, Records... Throw in some old ornamentation - swirls and leaves....
I know...TMI!

Definately ate my bowl of Cheerios this morning...
How about some of those repeating words with valentine sayings
Be mine; I'm Yours; Love you so much; Too Sweet; Sweetie Pie (o.k. I'll confess, that was what Savannah called her first doll cause that was what I called her all the time). All with some of those nice swirly heart shaped thingys faded in and around them...
Also, while I'm spouting...
I've got this photo of my two grandsons asleep on the floor, the older one has his arm around the younger one and I'd like some brotherly quotes that are serious. I don't know exact wording but I want them in serious fonts, not kid stuff. You may already have it in the store, I just can't remember anything...not that I could ever remember all your wonderful word art kits...your just too special that way...

I love word art that is versatile...can be used as a main item or that can be blended with the background. I'm a huge fan of repeating words/phrases (like your slim sentiments and worth repeating). I also like word art that I can use to frame the layout. I just saw this layout by cheecheongfun in the gallery and I love how some of the word art is blurred http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=298905 and I'm not picky about what it says, cause I usually do my layout around the word art I've picked :) Oh, but I do have lots of cats, so anything that I could use for my kitty LO's would be appreciated, too :) OK, I'm hitting the post button before I think of anything else :)

Ohhh, how about quotes from Walt Disney:
All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
It's kind of fun to do the impossible.
Laughter is America's most important export.
Of all of our inventions for mass communication, pictures still speak the most universally understood language.
The more you like yourself, the less you are like anyone else, which makes you unique.
There is more treasure in books than in all the pirate's loot on Treasure Island.
When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionable.
When you're curious, you find lots of interesting things to do.
sorry, i can't do Disney. His work is not in the public domain :(

Well, this isn't wordart - but I love the heart-shaped stitching in the Sweet Tweet kit and would love to see more stitched shapes and sentiments:
A stitched star shape
A stitched crescent moon
A stitched Xs and Os element
A stitched LOVE element
A stitched heart in a different shape (less stylized)
The stitching could be a straight stitch on some and maybe cross-stitch on others?

Ummm, I thought I taw a puddy cat? (hehe I crack myself up)
Ok, more seriously:
Love gives us wings
You put a song in my heart

I can't do Walt Disney. :(
If I do an element set/aop, it would be 1 bonus, not 2 like the word art is currently.

I'd vote for an element set. Here are some of the suggestions from designakit that I like
- How about some silver charms to hang on the twine: heart, star, round disc (that we could put an initial on). sandygb
- a chain border across the top, maybe looped (like scallops dropping down every so often) so that the charm can be placed on it? leea
I really like the look of the silver you did on the hanging charm in this kit. It's more like a brushed nickel look. I'd love more silver elements. Maybe a whole element set of silver. What about silver metal brackets? A silver flourish? A silver frame?
What about a frame with some of the twine wrapped around it? Maybe a circular frame?
Instead of an element set, would a date set work for a bonus? I'd love a silver charm date set.
Just some thoughts. . .

I would LOVE some word art for heritage layouts. Maybe something about time passing.

Not sure if this is the correct place to post suggestions for "Happy Faces". :)
I think I'd love to see some ribbon! :) Perhaps with either tiny smilie faces, or yellow ribbon with black polka dots and/or stripes (or vice versa: black ribbon with yellow polka dots and/or stripes). :)

I really liked the bike idea, as my son who is disablled jsut went to camp "Lose the Training Wheels" and he is 17, but I also have been lookingfor a kti on running, track, marathon that kind of thing and can't find it anywhere and it is such a spring thing and good for all around health and exercise. I know it's not the trend, but the kits I buy are the ones that a re different, so many have flowers and stuff and I like when there is an element or two of something unique. I love your kits as they really are about something special. And your Word Art is stunning, I never used ot buy it until I found yours, now that' s all I buy! Thanks so much! linda in KC

I like the music overlay idea. A little birdhouse with a perch for that cute bird would be nice. Another little bird or two.
Like Moog suggested, clustered up word art would be great too, or maybe something like your "worth repeating" series, with the same kinds of words or phrases (here comes spring, starting to bloom, welcome sunshine, etc).
hope everything is ok, Tina!

Tina I would love some big sunflowers maybe ever put a smiley face on them for the bonus for day brightener kit I am also thinking some multicoloured buttons maybe in flower shaped but plastic buttons
I noticed Swatkins 56 suggested Spanish greetings, to that I'd like to add that I'd love to see in Spanish the English words we all like to have available and use so often like: Smile, Magic, Beauty, Joy,Tranquility,Woman and many other, even Baby (Bebé). I am sure those of us whose native language is Spanish would be very happy to have that as well as phrases available. And Tina if you want any help with Spanish I'd be more than glad to help with translations and grammar as Spanish uses accents and has letters like ñ, as in "niño" (boy). The accents and extra letters are available with NumLock>Alt>a standardized three number combination.
Also I love a brush-stroke-like word in titles mixed with regular text.
As for themes, because I just lost a younger sister, I thought of short phrases of loss and grief, of gentle sorrow, of lasting footprints in the pathway of our life rather han just the word "Memory".
Just some thoughts... Kuka

I'm not sure if these suggestions have been made, but I thought that for some embellishments for this kit could include: cute sun, rays (to go with the sun), bird nest (with or without eggs), tree swing, tire swing, or even the free standing swing in the yard. But a tree swing especially that could hang from one of the cute tree branches. Fanciful flowers and/or bouquet of flowers. A springy straw hat. A fanciful bird house on a post. A bird feeder to hang on the tree. I'm thinking like a hummingbird feeder or something like that would be cute. I hope these ideas help. :)

I would like to see a sun also...when I think of bright, I think of the sun. Perhaps one in the same style as the trees...or...maybe a sun frame :-) I'll think of more tonight.
Thanks for an awesome kit Tina!

Tina - I know you don't usually do addon kits, but I was thinking maybe a backpack would be great for for the Day Brightener bonus.

Sun with transparent rays overlay.
Puppy running with ears flopping.
Horse frolicking.
Clump of daffodils and grass.
Bird taking a bath in birdbath...splashing water.
It's a brand new day wordart.
One bunny chasing another.
Squirrel sitting up eating a nut.
Transparent notes drifting off into the distance.

Giving this idea a bump again....pretty please....
A: A set of Ancestry stamps for the store (there could actually be a couple of different version of these – plain, grungy, elegant).
Rectangle stamp with lines for: Name, Born, Place, Died, Place, Married to, Date, Place
Rectangle stamp with lines for: Father, Mother, Children (multiple lines here)
Rectangle Journaling stamp in same theme with just lines.
Small stamp with lines: Name, Born, Died
Small stamp with lines: Groom, Bride, Date, Place
B: A set of Genealogy – Migration & Places stamps/word art
Stamp with: Vessel/Ship (not sure which it should be), Departed Place, Date, Arrived Place, Date
Stamp with: Departed Place, Date, Arrived Place, Date (suitable for people who maybe have immigrated on a plane etc)
Stamp with: Moved from, Date, Moved To, Date
Stamp with: Family Home, From, To
Word Art: Our ancestors ... possessed a right, which nature has given to all men, of departing from the country in which chance, not choice has placed them.
Thomas Jefferson
C: A set of Genealogy – Census stamps would also be handy.
A census stamp: Census date, Place
A stackable census circle stamp with the census years, Actually that would need a set of dates for the US, the UK, and Canada. So circle’s of “Found in the Census”, “United Kingdom”, “United States”, “Canada”, “1841, 1851, 1861, 1871, 1881, 1881, 1891, 1901, 1911”, “1851, 1861, 1871, 1881, 1891, 1901, 1906, 1911, 1916”, “1790, 1800, 1810, 1820, 1830, 1840, 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880, 1890, 1900, 1910, 1920, 1930, 1940”. With a circle to stamp over the appropriate years.

I am afraid to suggest, since I haven't been back for too long and do not know all the stuff that is in the store, but here are a few ideas:
kid's dress up fun, movie nights, house building, haircuts
