I have never heard of Memory Box either. I will also go check them out. I would love a tutorial on paper cones. I have seen them used as ornaments and May Day baskets.

I would love to see you make a buisness card holder and I'm trying to figure out some new folder for our secret sisters folder..I use a binder to keep everything together but would like you to show me something vintage and a clipboard that is distresed for me to carry together..I want to learn more abot distressing things..I carry a sketch book with me always but it is simple would love to make something that stands out for my sketches..I loved your pink one you did..it was gorgeous..I make alot of cards for women at the church as well as some small books for them to add their childrens pictures in,would also love to learn the marker and oil desugns you do with stamps, they look so real. I have alot of stamps to use just need a technique to make them pop out on the page and want to know what kind of paper you use for your stamping..The kind I use I'm not happy with. Oh, I just can't wait to see your creations for use in this new adventure.The rubarb paper is so exciting would love to make some cards out of it as well as a notebook for my bible studies.We are the ones blessed by your ideas,techniques you teach us,new things you show us in decorating our storage space,and the scripture challenges. Thank you so much Patter for giving up your time for us as well, and wanting to make better scrappers out of us as well. Bless you and your girls,Brenda1958

Wow what a great oppertunity for you, Congratulations. What I would like to see is some tutorials on hand made gifts and seasonal items. By the way I love your sketches as well. Keep up the great work!

Wow, congrats Patter! You deserve it girl...your work is amazing. :) Thanks for this awesome chance to win some gorgeous paper! I'd love to see some step-by-step tutorials on altering albums like the American Crafts kind that have the chipboard covers. Some questions I'd have would be what kind of adhesive is best and do you seal it somehow when you're done? I'm not sure where to start with them and I've got 2 now, lol! :)

Congratulations, Patter! Memory Box sure has good taste, seeing they chose you :)
I would love to see a tutorial on how to combine different patterned papers...I'm color challenged, so it's always tough for me to find things that look good together.
Thanks for the chance to win!

This is great Patter!! Glad to see some spotlight on this paper. I have about 5 packs sitting there waiting to be used. This paper is yummy!! Needed some inspiration and here it is!! I am a personal fan of sketches.

Huge congrats to you Patter! :) I would love to see sketches (as always) and I love tutorials of any kind.

Wow! Congratulations! Memory Box has some of the cutest, neatest products out there! I have been purchasing their stamps and papers for years. This is so cool! Can't wait to see what fun things you come up with.
Posted by: Rosemary D | 03/13/2009 at 06:17 AM
Congrats Patter!!!! I love sketches, so of course I would love to see those! I also am into decorating my girls rooms. So any ideas on altering items to decorate their room with would be great. Just an idea. I know I will love whatever you decide, I always do. ;-)
Posted by: Amy Rambo | 03/13/2009 at 06:26 AM
How wonderful and exciting!!! I would love to see a how to with mini albums. I love them, but they are not intuitive for me. Everyone says they are just mini pages, but for me they aren't. I have a hard time coordinating for the whole book, how long, crop or not crop pics, etc., etc., etc.
I really enjoy your sketches as well so anything you make using those is fabulous!!!
Gift items are my other wish list. Things to make for people and give. Any ideas for creations, altering, etc. from simple to complex. There is a great range on my list of people to give gifts to.
Thanks and CONGRATULATIONS!

Wow, this has some awesome papers, I would love to see some kits made up for sale, reasonable, as I have a small Scrapbook club that we look for projects to do each month. Any type items: albums, unique projects, card sets, albumn page sets, etc.
To include a stamp in the set would be awesome too! Thanks.

Congrats Patter!! Can't wait to check out their goodies. I am a fairly new stamper and I would like to learn how to use my stamped images as embellies, etc.
Posted by: Cindy Rhoden | 03/13/2009 at 06:45 AM
Congrats Patter!! This is a new company for me... I like what I see so far! I want to see cards, altered items (which you do so well!) and maybe some sketchs.

Haven't heard of this company before so am excited to check it out and of course be enabled!!! I'd be interested in doing a mini book or paper albumn. I also think some sort of kit would be fun. BTW this paper is GORGEOUS !!!!
Posted by: lexi | 03/13/2009 at 07:35 AM
Congratulations! I would love sketches as I seem to be creatively challenged at the end of the day, when I get the chance to create! Scrapping, cards, altered items...all are fair game for me!
Posted by: Jeanne | 03/13/2009 at 07:36 AM
OMG, what beautiful paper that is!!!!
Posted by: Angi | 03/13/2009 at 07:48 AM
Yes, yes, and yes! Congratulations on your new "gig"! I love reading your blog and looking at all of your creations. Your writing style is easy to follow and your instructions are too! And your projects are just beautiful. I have been wanting some of this paper, I might just have to "break down" and get some.
