Any Special Kit requests

[Lauren]

What sort of kits would you like to purchase - any special themes or styles that you really would love???????????

[elizabethlmccoy]

BIRTHDAY!!!
All ages & genders ...got a ton of those this year. :)

I'm also going to be working on some garage sale layouts soon...dont know if that would be in great demand from other people though. :D

[Lauren]

Birthday Kits coming !!!- Keep your eyes peeled very soon!!

[Mike Wozowski]

graduation.

especially for boys.

it would be easy to make something for a girl, but boys are more difficult.

something cool, edgy, maybe grungy or classic.

something that could be given as a gift and the kid would open it and say, "COOL!"

[elizabethlmccoy]

Great Request!!!! I've got a girl graduation though...so maybe both? But she is pretty artistic so a grungy & edgy would work for her tooo....Although she is way into retro....hmmm is that helpful or just confusing :p

[Elizabeth]

What about military kits?

[Lauren]

I know all about boys pages being harder - but I have 2 boys so you will see more masculine sets from me - I have done military kits before for other sites but I am sure I can come up with something new there as well!!!!
Keep up with the ideas !!!!! :D

[Ann Maree]

Hi lauren! MMM now let me see........ I would like some hospital/doctor/mishap(bandaid) kits. Bathtub Kits (we all have naked baby photos in the bath) I love all the kits you do with time/heritage themes - i can never have enough!
I would second the Birthday Kits! Animal kits - eg fish/bird - everyone is doing cat and dog! Computer Kits - well we all could have layouts with this theme! A kit that could use those tiny school photos we seem to get but never use!

I will go to bed thinking of ideas.........

Will get back to you

Ann-Maree

[andyapc]

I'd like to see more wedding kits, if possible!

A quilting kit would be wonderful. I know a few quilters that are always telling me I should start quilting and I tell them that digi scrapping IS quilting but with the convenience of "undo" and "delete". Would really like to be able to do some pages for them, though. Quilt squares would make lovely charms and papers with edges made to look like they've been cut with pinking shears would be great.

[diva8946]

Cabin...Up North...Woods...Solitude...Nature...Family. My Dad has a cabin in northern WI that my whole family is sentimentally attached to and I have a ton of pictures from the past 25 years.

[4jacks4me]

music, recital, piano, instruments/band

[sallyscrapper]

I would love to see bright , funky, fun, teenage girl sets if it's possible :rolleyes:

[riceramblz]

I would like to see page kits for athletes (not cutesy little kid stuff, rather serious high school and college stuff; kits for travel where time is spent in castles, palaces, museums, ruins, old cities; college life, and theater, drama (again, not cutesy stuff) These themes are even difficult to find in traditional paper scrapbook stores.

I LOVE your style, Lauren!

Michele

[Amanda]

You are in luck! Watch the DSP store in coming months for your requests!

[Dusty]

Heritage/ Vintage Kits and or elements
Since I am trying to turn 35 years of research into scrapbooks this would be great. I'm making some of my own but I'm new to scrapping and I have run out of ideas. I only use naturel colors too so that limits me also.

[dlyn]

Thanks so much for designing the "Stitched With Love" kit! It's perfect for doing layouts for my quilting sister and friends.

[scrappiesmom]

I second the music/band kits! I have a ds who has been in band for 6 years, 2 to go and a younger ds who is on year 2! There is a sticker sheet for "band nerds" but that is a hated term for band kids. Maybe something that is a little more serious?

Thanks
Radona

[Lauren]

Ive done a kit called Music maker http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/detail.jsp?itemId=43868&category=19466- it may be too heritage themed for what you are looking for but I am working on a more modern music styled kit - probably be a couple of weeks away.

[pbrooks]

I'm joining in to vote with the music, band folks. My daughter was in marching band and orchestra in high school. She is also in the orchestra in college.

I'm interested in graduation kits, too, as both my kids have graduated high school, and I haven't done a single layout. Most of the kits/ploppers I have seen have a particular date.

Pam M.

[Amanda]

There are graduation kits in this month's club digital as well as in the store :)

[jeanineb]

I would love to see a grungy boy set with typical toys - not cutesy clip art but more "rugged" style - with cars, trains, tractors, tools etc. That would be great!

Thanks for asking! :D

[bwilli47]

It's August and time for back to school. :)

[Marla in KY]

some ideas for twins. I have twin boys born March 9th- six months tomorrow! :eek:

I would love to see some fun twin stuff!

[lorac]

I'll call it the "Bavarian kit" for now. Or in more general terms a travel/historical kit that could be used for Germany/Austria travel. I was thinking of items from their architecture, such as castles and cathedrals, Baroque, Rococco, and other pertinent architecture, and some heavily embellished gold items representing the kinds of things you see in King Ludwig's castles. Rich royal and and classic colors, but also something that represents the cobblestone streets in the cities and towns. Oh, and some of the medieval themes and architecture too.

Don't ask me how this could all come about, lol. Sounds like a tall order to me but a good artist could probably make a pretty versatile kit. THe only thing is I don't know how popular this would be with people--I don't know how many digi scrappers have a few hundred pics of Bavaria and Austria just waiting to be scrapped!

[Amber]

With all of the cat/dog word art in the store- maybe some kits for our furbabies! I know there is Tina's doggone cute one and its great! Id like to see some pawprint charms, fish charm, dog bone charm, and other elements having to do with sweet furbabies! :)

[belsha]

Would like to see some kits on specific occupations! My husband is a mechanic, so that would be great. I'm sure this could make many kits, doctors, lawyers, farmers, carpenters, photographers, artists, writers, bakers, etc....

[Tara]

Still taking suggestions? I'm looking for something Star Wars related (obviously nothing with a copyright...just a kit that would go along with some pictures of people in costume...not cheesy - but your work never is!)

Does DSP have anything like this?

[Judyy]

Second the twins idea! And how about some river-related (as opposed to beach) activity/sports stuff--canoeing, kayaking, tubing.

[d2vasquez]

OH.....me too...something with scouting...can be generic...just not a lot out there for the girl scouts...just boy scouts....not sure why. I saw a digital kit (forgot to bookmark it...ugh) that used just the colors of scouting because I think the GS has this whole thing about using their logo....I would be fine with that....Thanks!

[MandyNI0]

Well I don't have children so I tend to take a lot of nature pics. What about something to do with natures beauty, gardens, landscapes, time and tides, growing flowers.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for... but here is a kit about nature.

[Elisabeth]

Kit for the profession of Emergency Medical Technician? And I believe someone mentioned a Nursing kit in chat.

I haven't checked, but what about Fireman? and volunteer fireman. My niece is an EMT and her boyfriend is a Fireman. They both used to be volunteer firepeeps.

Birdwatching kit?

Hot rods - like for the car show cars, where they have their motor up out of the hood and stuff. Bright glossy clearcoat kit, lol. Or racing cars, different but similar.

Out of these I only need the EMT and Fire ones, I just figured I'd toss in some other ideas while I was in the room.

[jenaRN]

Since I'm a nurse and dh is a firefighter/paramedic I second the request for those types of kits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

[Elisabeth]

There is such a price cut between printing (outsource, that is) 8 x 8 layouts, which you pay the 8 x 10 price of at $1.99 or so, and the price of having 5 x 7s printed, which I have seen for 39 cents!

Would any of the designers consider making some 5 x 7 mini albums, specifically ABC ones? The word art could be separate like it is on the ABC albums, but the pages could be 5 x 7 pngs. Unless someone has a way of making the 8 x 8 ones into 5 x 7s quickly and easily. I'm off to experiment.

[Amanda]

All of the ABC kits can be easily cropped down to 5x7. I did a 4x6 with the My Child one last year :)

[Stacey Jewell Stahl]

Unless someone has a way of making the 8 x 8 ones into 5 x 7s quickly and easily. I'm off to experiment.

Z, I reduce the 12x12 bgs to 40% and it fits the 5x7 canvas perfectly. In the Inkster kit I reduce the word art to 30 and change the color from black to white. I've written a script in PSP to do it quickly for me.

LL

btw- I call Elisabeth "Z" because her name is really EliZabeth

[raynebair]

I'd like to see some more kits on vacations, travel, etc within the US or just in general. I've got several trips I'd like to scrap. But what I've seen is for like international. None that would be appropriate for travel in the US.

[Lauren]

The ABC album that I did for DH I did at 4x6 - I used the My Child ABC kit - Its in my gallery somewhere!!!

[Elisabeth]

I do really like Inkster; I may have the wrong impression of the ABC kits.

Rayne, I saw a lot of travel embellishments at the dollar store today and had to MAKE myself leave them alone, they were so cute! But I would never do a paper page now!

[Maizella]

What about a kit that deals with greek life? I have lots of pictures from when I was in a sorority that I would like to scrap. :)

[sherryva]

My daughter is an avid horse rider and does lots of horse shows, would love to see a horse kit as it is so rare in sports collections.

[BethyNixon]

My sister is living in India for 8 months and she is keeping a journal and taking LOTS of pictures. I told her that I would put it all together in a scrapbook for her. SO, I'd would just LOVE any sort of kit with an Indian influence. NO idea what that would be though! LOL

[Timmysmum]

I just finished a whole travel album (36 pages ) for my son in 4X6 using mainly the vacations cd resized and a few pages I resized and manipulated from my ' big album' layouts.. I gotta say I am so thrilled with it and my son loves it , I am going to print an extra set for my mum .. and Its so cheap just to put into the photo print store and get printed there and 'save' my gorgeous photo printer for the 'big layouts'

[beckykiessling]

I would love to see kits for theme parks, zoo trips, and road trips. In a totally different direction, how about stuff for a murder mystery party/weekend? Something like clues, suspects, film noir would be great!!

[Lauren]

[Karen Bowers]

http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&manufacturers_id=38&products_id=1718 looks perfect to me for a murder mystery party!

[beckykiessling]

I do have that kit, and it has some great stuff!! I was just looking for additional kits. We have been to three mystery weekends that I am working on the scrapbooks for and I don't want them all to look alike. Thanks for the suggestion!!!

[Elisabeth]

Becky, what were the themes for the mysteries themselves? I've played in a vampire one (in which you could use the Ghosts and Goblins freebie, or parts of it) and now I'm in a western one. (online Harry Potterized mysteries - yeah, I know the western seems a little far fetched, but Molly yields a muggle gun and Sirius is a hit man).

So maybe you can play on the theme itself (train ride for Orient Express, etc.) and spread your Evidence kit out over all of them.

[MeriBeth]

How about a "Southern Heritage" or "Confederate" kit? There's lots of military/heritage kits that can be adapted to use with pictures or references to ancestors in the Union army, but nothing really useful for those with Confederate ancestors or who are members of the various Southern History/Heritage groups.

Thanks.
MB

[beckykiessling]

Elizabeth,
Thanks for the great ideas!! The first weekend was a murder on the orient express theme, the second had a ghost ship theme, and the third one had a mummy/hidden treasure theme.
Becky

[mommytodj+2more]

I also would like to get some TWINS stuff, I had twin girls June 2005 and am new to the digital scrapbooking and have been looking all over and can't find anything. I know I can write twins but I want like two babys and more twin related stuff, I've been looking threw your pages and you make beautiful girly things love your style:) .

Thanks

[boobearsmama1]

I am so glad I saw this thread. I am so totally in love with your kits Lauren. Your kits are ALL so amazing. You have a true talent.

I actually have a very specific request. I would love to have a kit for milestones. My daughter is about to be 5 years old, which is a very special year. I would love to document her milestones up to this point. Maybe alot of milestone type word art. I would even like to see a nice mini album of this theme.

[Amanda]

A lot of milestone wordart comes in our Baby Story CDs :)

[warpraise]

I didn't read all the posts but I may make this myself...my son is getting married in July 06 and the colors are black and white and red. My soon to be daughter-in-laws favorite color is red. My son even picked out an engagement ring with 2 rubies on either side of her diamond! That's how much she loves red! :o

[Sandersmr]

I ve been doing mini-albums for Christmas presents this year and I didn't see a really masculine mini-album kit. I was doing an album featuring my dad and would have loved something with stronger more masculine colors.

[warpraise]

Are there any kits with sunglasses? I want to make a few pages with a bathing beauty theme...I can find beach scenes but haven't found sunglasses.

[cropper127]

Hi, I just thought of a kit I haven't seen anywhere.

My son is 3 yrs old now and I have yet to do a baby book.

I am not sure if it would be better to do it as a plopper.. or a kit with all the elements in one. One that asks all the questions of a regular, store bought baby book. about mom, dad, birth, weight, lists of the firsts, etc... Hand prints etc..

I just thought if someone was looking for an idea!!

Michele (cropper127)

[Amanda]

We have an entire baby album CD that comes with 30 mini kits and tons of wordart - also an example of how to put together each page. :)

[Lauren]

My sweet baby kit and add ons would be perfect for this

http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1020 - part 2 has a year in review page already set up
http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1039 Part 3 has some baby items to use

[LindaBelle]

My teenage son was able to visit Japan for a 10 day school trip and I'd like to scrap his pictures into a special album.

I would love to find a kit with Oriental elements to compliment his pictures of the locations that they visited. But the problem that I've found with kits from other sites is that the elements in their kits are often Chinese or of Chinese symbols. (Personally I wouldn't know the difference....but since he has studied Japanese for 4 years, he does...and this might make a difference to others as well).

I'm sure such a kit would also compliment serene nature photos and pictures of Oriental gardens. And perhaps there are others who have traveled to Japan....that's not unusual for those of us on the west coast....and could use such a kit for their travel pictures.

Thanks!

[crazyscraps]

Hi Laura,
I am a newbie here, in my searching so far, I haven't found much with a little boy cowboy and indian western type theme. If anyone has made one, and I just haven't came across it yet, PM me please. Thanks

[Amanda]

Kim has a few cowboy type stuff. Cutest cowboy kit comes to mind :)

[Lauren]

There is a whole section in the store in the categories called Western - Im sure you will find somethign there to suit

[crazyscraps]

Thank you for who replied, and sent the link. I promise, I'll figure find my way around better soon:-).

[Tina]

Crazyscraps, It won't take long until you know the site like the back of your hand. Welcome to DSP, by the way! :D Glad to have you here.

[acamp58]

New to the site, would love to have an airplane pulling a banner that you can journal on! Have tons of beach pic to scrap and really need an airplane. Also would like to see UPS stuff, maybe a brown package car and one with flames like you see on TV commercials. How about old murray cars like some of played with as kids? Thanks in advance!

[mrs.g]

Lauren, looks like your reqest for kit ideas was from last year. If you're still working on new things I would love a Treasure Hunt/Chest/Pirate/Gold Coins theme. My son is very much into that theme and I have lots of great pics I'd like to scrap. Birthday is always big for me too. I love the reality of your elements. Thanks, Mrs.G

[Amanda]

There are tons of birthday kits in the store. We did a whole birthday cd :)

[Just Jan]

Are there any kits for chefs? My son is a chef and I am looking for something along the lines of the black outline type drawing that you see on some cookware products. I would love to use black,white and red theme.

[yessenia1974]

Hello, I would like to find something abut wildlife, dogs, cats and kits for memorial remembrances for pets. I want to do one for my pets.

Also kits themed on countries will be nice for all of those who are not from USA like me.

And kits related with Army , I only found a plopper in the store related.

And one I'm really interested too is a plopper with a (table for painters, i don't know the word in english, is the tripod of the painters) , example, the idea is this: my father is a painter in his free time and his house is full of paintures and I want to make pictures and put in an album, so I'm thinking if I find a plopper with the tripod and in the tripod a blanck paint where you can put the picture than around the page everything you want related with painture, I don't know if you understand what I'm saying. I want to make the gift for fathers day on 19 march.

Thanks

[Lauren]

There is a kit in the store called camouflage which is army related - http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=265
and another which is more air related - http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=200
I will work on an artists easel type kit once i get back from holiday - hopefully i will have it ready in time for your fathers day

[yessenia1974]

Thank's Lauren, I wait than but don't worrie to much if you don't have time, I understand this is a pleasure for who are not designers and I know everybody has families :-)

[~sarah~]

I did check but maybe i missed it do you have any tribute/memorial type kits ? I know this sounds morbid but i have a couple of trubutes for 2 people and 1 animal which i would like to do and i cant think where to start.
Thanks.

[Amanda]

I can't recall any memorial kits right now. I know Kim does have an angel one.

We have lots of pet kits (check the products by category) and I have a feeling (hint hint) we'll have a ton more Feb. 1 :)

[mrs.g]

I found the birthday stuff. Thank you Amanda. But I'm still looking for something that includes Treasure Hunting, like a treasure chest, gold coins, map, x marks the spot, kind of stuff. If anyone knows of such, please let me know where to find it. Thanks!

[Wendelynn]

I have been looking all over the internet for a celestial themed kit, stars,suns and moons, but not cutesy little kid ones. Does anyone know of one?

[Judyy]

There used to be a Zodiac kit in the store, which may have some of the celestial type things you're looking for.

[gsnap1000]

Dinosaurs and construction with lots of big diggers--my son has had both these as themes for bday parties and it would be great to get those pics scrapped if i could just find the right stuff!

[Wendelynn]

Thanks for the tip on the zodiac kit. That kit is very specific and only has the astrological sysmbls, so not what I was after. The background is promising though.

[bibbity]

I'd like to find a bathtime kit--with bubbles, rubber duckies, etc. And a construction kit with big yellow heavy equipment machines, hard hats, etc. Also would love farm equipment. Tractors, combines, trucks, etc.

[~sarah~]

Thanks for you help Amanda :)

Is their any chance maybe a memorial one could be made at all are any of you designers up to the challenge lol.

[~sarah~]

Bibbity I believe their are a couple of bathtime kits in the shop.
there are a couple of things here
http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&keyword=bath

[valeri]

Hey Sarah,

What type of memorial, just general or something specific?

[~sarah~]

Hi Valeri

I was thinking of doing one for a dear friend one for a family member and one for a pet. Nothing to specific but perhaps nice wording, maybe angels, a nice simple alpha kind of like the ones you get on gravestones if you get what i mean like an engraved type alpha if that is possible. Something everyone would be able to use really.

Thanks :)

[Judyy]

Here's an idea: how about a MOTORCYCLE-related kit? My DH is a motorcycle-ridin' fool, and I'd love to have some special stuff for scrapping him and his mount.

[onyxelle]

I would love a kit w/ shaker boxes in it.

[~sarah~]

I cant believe i havent thought of this one before but is their a chance anyone could do a wrestler type theme kit as i am big fan of the wrestling and i have quite a few photos i could use it on Thanks.

[BubblyKori]

I also want to suggest adding shaker boxes as elements.

I'd like to see some fantasy theme kits. Fairies, dreamy, sparkly, lavendar touches.

Thanks!

[SmilinThyme]

Thanks a ton!

The treasure chest/pirate theme is on my list of to dos- HOpefully before I go in for surgery I will get one done - if not soon afterward!!

[mae]

Model railroading would be nice. I'd like to have train tracks running through the pages

[mrs.g]

Thank you Lauren for replying to my treasure hunt request. I hope your surgery is nothing too big and that you have a speedy recovery. I look forward to seeing what you come up with. Lori

I was wondering if a kit that is for family generations (but not in the heritage style) would be of good use. I'm looking for something like this. Maybe with some soft colours.... Not that I don't like the heritage style, just in need of something different for my pages. Also more wedding and boy kits.

[Amanda]

A big misconception among digital scrappers is if the kit isnt' specifically for that topic then you can't use it! Sure you can!!! You can make a kit work for you no matter what it is called. Just find a kit with soft colors that you like and go for it!
We have an entire CD of both Wedding and Boy - if you do a search in the store I'm sure you will find something to your taste.

[borrors]

Maybe some kits or embellishments that aren't cutesy, but more artistic in nature/flair. Are there some that I am just missing and can't find. We live close to beach and go there in evenings and I have some fun shots of the kids on the beach w/ fun lighting but can't find things that aren't so cutesy....

[Lauren]

I have heaps of beach kits in the store already and I wouldnt class them as cutesy

What about something with a Las Vegas styling? Like cards, poker chips, neon word art, slots, etc?

[Marcee]

There is a treasure chest and old rolled paper in my Child Play kit it is on the DSP Boy CD..

[bethliz]

I am new here too and have found products for chinese new year celebrations to be wanting.....I have communicated with Kim Liddiard and given here some material to work with...just curious to know if anybody else is interested in a kit for the Chinese New Year!!

[dschoenrock]

Yes, I would like to see some more military kits. I have tons of photos to make a military album for my hubby

[Lauren]

Ok Ive made a pirate kit - it will be in the store pretty soon - I probably have enough ideas for an add on to it already so if I get time I may do that tomorrow

[Lauren]

I'm still looking for a treasure chest, coins, map, etc. for a treasure hunt theme. I'm not having any luck. Has anyone seen something like this or is anyone up for putting one together? Lauren, I thought of you because you produce such realistic embell. Please let me know if anyone has seen something like this. Thanks, Lori
The new pirate kit which will be called Pirate King - has coins and a treasure map - even a map in a bottle

[Tina]

And this is not a kit- but I've also made a Pirate word art set:

Stories of Pirates Word Art (http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2081)

[Lauren]

The Pirate kit is up in the store - http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2096 - Im working on an add on kit to it which I hope to be finished with by the end of the week

[Lauren]

The pirate add on is now up in the store too

[nancyr]

This is a wonderful thread. I just took the DSU160 course with Emma she suggested I post here my desires for new kits. I love the camo page but that is it for military. I need tons more stuff. My son, a marine, is on his second deployment to Iraq and he has been in Afghanistan. He has brought back pictures and wants them scrapped. I started to do it with paper but I really want to do it digitally. I would love it if there were some kits with maps of these two countries. Backgrounds with deserts and desert related flora and fauna. I need background pages with logos from the marines. Each battalion also has its own logo and that would be helpful also. I would also like to request the different chevrons for the enlisted men and the ensignia of the officers. There are medals and ribbons from each of the Iraqi wars and participation in Afghanistan. I would love tanks, helos, airplanes, humvees, and aircraft carriers. I would also like rifles, machine guns, pistols. I realize this is a huge wish list but I have seen this site and I am so impressed by the kits. Opps almost forgot alphabets - how about letters with red and while and blue stripes and camo alphas. Thanks so much for thinking about this wish list.
Nancy

[mrs.g]

Awsome!!!!!!! The pirate kit and add on is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Lauren your work is amazing!!!!!!!!. If anyone has a little pirate at home these kits are definately worth purchasing. Also, Tina has great word art to go with the kits. Thank you so much everyone who responded to my pirate request. I'll share the LO when they are complete. Lori:D

[Elisabeth]

I love that pirate kit, too!

Okay, I'm just back from the Bumpkin's Birthday Bash Celebration Chat, and we generally take requests. Tonight one of them was for a Vegas Vacation kit!
Oh, c'mon, you can't tell me the next Pass the Pixel isn't set for THAT!!!!
Surely (and I can name you, every one of you) those who went to Vegas (or didn't, even) are pixellating it for us!!!!

[Giaria]

I've been hunting for a while for a kit that has mermaids in it. My daughter is having a mermaid birthday party (not Little Mermaid) and I want to do a page in jewel tones with mermaids

[dschoenrock]

special request would be catching fireflies/summer nights

[Marcy401]

Beings my husband, daughter and myself are all involved in the firefighting/paramedic field, we would love to have a kit for this occupation. We have several training and action photos which would be great to scrap.

[jenaRN]

Ditto to what Marcy said-since dh is a firefighter! Also as a nurse I'd LOVE to see a kit for nurses too!

[sandygb]

Hi Lauren,

I don't have any special requests for kits.....I seem to have more goodies than I can use at the moment, but I wanted to tell you how beautiful your kits are! Just this week I purchased Daisy Dreams, Hardout, Morning Glory, Pacific Paradise and Pansy Pizzaz. My preferences lean to the aged, grungy, heritage, heavily textured and finely detailed kits. Your embellishments are just exquisite and so realistic. They are quite unique and you put the kits together so beautifully!!!! I have only been doing digital scrapping since last fall (previously a traditional scrapper) and I have completed over 100 layouts already and I'm now into designing many of my papers and simple embellishments of my own......which makes me appreciate the intricate artwork of your kits! Thank you.....and keep them coming. I added some more of your things to my Cart tonight. Even when I 'm sure I've seen everything the store has to offer, I come across things I haven't seen before...like the Daisy Dreams Add-On kit and the Barn kits.....

Sandy

[DSanchez]

I was just at your gimme more chat and myself along with a few others would like to see a wolf or eagle kit, or we would even be happy I would think with a combo kit.

Thanks for listening to our needs :) (and wants)

[the3chickens]

I don't really have a theme as I prefer something more general.. But I have a color request.. What about something in soft white/ivory/cream? A cloudy/dreamy sort of background, silver brush (not sure if this is the correct term) frame, some silver hardware - charms, etc, white roses, baby's breath. silver stitches, silver netting, delicate floral borders, cut-out floral borders (not sure if you understand this), lace mat, those little square embellishments with silver border & stamped flowers, etc... Everything delicate, nothing "heavy".. Something that can be used for both special events and general pics.. Thanks!

[Judyy]

Not exactly a kit request, but how about some edgy-looking hand-stitching? We're seeing so much great stitching in the store now, but most of it has a machine-stitched look. It's all wonderfully done, and quite intricate and beautiful, but for grungy layouts, sometimes I'd like some stitching that looks like I just grabbed a dull needle, some thick, grubby thread, and went to town: parallel stitches, some not as straight as others, an occasional knot maybe; or some blanket stitching. That would be cool.

[honeymoon]

Adding to Judyy's request above. I really love the elements in the quilting kits that you designed. However, rather than a quilter I'm a sewer and wondered if you would be able to design a sewing/tailoring kit.

Ideas for kit:
- a tailors dummy (old rather than modern with wooden stand)
- sewing pattern pieces (tissue paper so would be great for journalling on)
- sewing pattern packet (great place to add photos of the garments made)
- treadle Singer sewing machine with a wood cabinet with 3 drawers either side (add's a heritage element to the kit)
- different types of seams as "ribbons" eg French Felled, Overlocked, Zigzaged
- elastic (great to stretch over a page to hold things on)
- little gold & silver safety pin's
- Backgrounds of Interfacing, satin lining, tissue

Starting to become a very long list...see what happens when you go to Gimme More chats...you become inspired by what a great designer can do with a few ideas.

[hdruiter]

Hi Lauren,

I would love to have a christian kit containing christian items as : pictures of beautiful old (european) christian art (the things you see when you go to Florence-Italy), old (celtic) Bibles with monograms, beautyfull glass of church windows etc.
I sometimes make a L.O that fits the sermon and is beamed during the service, so thats why.
I've seen the freebie of Stacey Jewell of 4 april and that's a nice start, Maybe she can make some more??

Thanks anyway for all the good work all you designers do

Hilde

[sherryva]

Dear Lauren-
Hope you are feeling better. I love your kits, and am proud to say I have purchased and completed more than 3 dozen sheets thanks to your handywork. Would love to see any zodiac signs, (simple symbol types) wanted to do a few pages on people in the family and how their sign suits them, particularly pisces and gemini. For all my travel pages it would be great to have some country flags from the different nations & as always, anything equestrian, Virginians are big on horse back riding and showing, and I wanted to do an album on my daughters life with horses.

Dear Lauren-
Thanks, I logged on and snagged the zodiac kit this morning and have already started a page! I already own the dressage page and have done a few sheets with that kit by changing background paper. (You can never have enough horse stuff)..

[Nancy B]

How about ROTC kits as well as family reunion kits? I think the military kits may work for ROTC though.

[1IcePrincess]

I know this request is going to sound a bit "off-the-wall" to some, but here goes...How about a "Celebration of Life" type of kit(s) geared toward a lost loved one that includes word art, ploppers, angel papers, and elements. As some of you may know, our 23-year-old son-in-law passed away in a firey auto crash in January and I've been working on an album for my daughter and his babies. I'd love some fresh, new inspirations in design that was befitting to celebrating his life, and yet at the same time need some more somber, peaceful kits as well...kits where you can just "FEEL" the love.

[amson]

I'd love to see some oriental themed kits. Not pseudo oriental with a few token chinese characters but something displaying the textures, colours and of course some elements....

Travel kits seem to be limited to Europe or Africa.

Thanks.

[Carla]

Lauren...I would like to see another add on to the Quilt kits with some solid colors that match the other pieces.

[okieinalaska]

My daughter is losing her first tooth. I have been on the search for a toothfairy kit and have found about 3 in various places. -I would have though there would be a lot more! I haven't taken a fancy to any of the ones I have found so far.

I would love a toothfairy kit that could be for boys or girls. It would have lots of tooth related elements, maybe a little tooth on a pillow or shaker box you could place a tooth behind. Maybe some coins to scatter about. Some papers with stars and maybe some star elements and a moon to move around (since the tooth fairy comes at night of course, LOL). Lots of blues, dark purple, throw in some brighter complimentary colors. Of course you need ribbons and maybe some little colorful candies just for fun.

Was that a little too specific, LOL?
Amy

[Art-C]

My grandson is nuts about firemen and fire engines! And yellow ones (he says lellow) are his favorites...but red will do. Tomorrow is his 3rd birthday party being celebrated with a few other boys at the local fire station! Grammy (that's me) will be there Nikon D70 in hand, but would love some tasteful accents for documenting his special day. Oh, Bob the Builder is real big, too. He's definitely all boy! Oh, my husband's grandfather was the fire chief for about 40 years. So there is heritage there as well.

[jamie]

okieinalaska - Lauren has a tooth fairy kit in the store right now that is really cute and great for boys and girls. I'm on my way to grab it right now b/c my 6mth old is cutting his first tooth and I think it would be great for that too! I can't seem to get the store to load right now, but I'll post the link for you in a sec...

[LindaBelle]

I can't imagine I'll ever use up all the kits that I keep purchasing...I think collecting digital kits is my new passion!

I'm most interested in unique elements...I haven't seen any related to knitting. Seems that I've heard a few others (in chat) mention some of these...
Knitting needles....regular metal ones would be fine, but wooden and/or ivory ones would be terrific!
Baskets....especially baskets of yarn
Balls of yarn, skeins of yarn
Crochet hooks...for those that aren't knitters, or who do both
...perhaps some crocheted doilies for background use.

I'd also love a spinning wheel or two or three....for those of us who make our own yarn.
And along that same line, maybe a sheep or two?

[okieinalaska]

Thanks Jamie, I saw that one, it's very cute. It just wasn't quite what I was looking for.

I have a picture in my head I guess of what I want, LOL. Whenever I get photoshop I will just have to make one for myself. : )

Amy

[photobobbie]

I'd love to make a page showing the photographer in the family. Is there a kit with cameras and other photo props?

[Tara]

I still think we need a digital scrapbooking kit (i.e. a kit about digital scrapping!!!!).

[sandygb]

Tara - That's a great idea! Maybe a general "scrapbooking", "Papercrafting" kit, rather than JUST digital scrapping. I haven't paper scrapped in a long time....but I still refer to digi as "scrapbooking".

[jfricker]

Cupcake and I were chatting yesterday and decided we would love to have some greeting card kits that have templates we can use in Photoshop. I love making my own cards, but it takes alot of time to figure out the templates for them. How about it designers?????

[TheMaryKayGal]

I've been looking for the Cleveland sports teams--- Cavs, Indians, Browns.

I would love to be able to set up a wish list for myself of kits I like when I am browsing in the store. I sometimes see things which I can't get right then, and have trouble finding them later. I would love to be able to click and put the item on a wish list while I am looking at it, the way you can do in Amazon.

We do have the wishlist feature in our store as well :) Make sure you are logged in and when browsing there is a button the right to add to your wishlist :)

Darn, Amanda beat me! I'm just too slow today :(

[Vallie]

Hi all. I just found this thread after being around 6 months! No flies on me! Well I have teenagers so would like grungy stuff for them anything along the line of dark, mysterious, gothic, celtic or tribal tats, symbols, crosses etc. Black lace, smoky overlays, gothic jewellery e.g. black beads, rosary, stars. Colours mostly dark red, dark blue, black of course! I do like pink and pretty too of course!! Just a few ideas. :)

[nancyr]

I just recently went on a bike ride through NYC. I see no LO with bicycles at all. I would love some for adults with helmets and bikes but also for kids learning to ride a bike with training wheels, ribbons from handlebars, baskets. Thanks so much for consideration.

[cybergram]

My daughter-in-laws parents will be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary next year. I know I could use pieces of the wonderful wedding kits already in the store but an anniversary kit would be right up my alley, lol

Thanks Designers, for considering this idea.

Let me be the first in line to request an addon kit for the gorgeous new Antique Rose kit that was the posting freebie for this week. It is just beautiful and I can think of all sorts of beautiful bling, papers and elements to go with this kit. I will take a look and try to come up with specific requests for addons to the kit, like we do in the Gimme chats! Hopefully others will chime in with suggestions too!

Sandy

[ewenme]

How about a volleyball kit!! I have seen Basketball and baseball but never VB!!! Lots of girls play it!

[chaneyz]

Good Morning everyone..and Happy Mothers day!

I just took the plunge yesterday into digital scrapbooking. I finally went to sleep at 4:30am. (I've asked to be banned from here too)

Now on to requests - guess there is no 12 step program for this, eh?

I have hunted and looked all over the net for a classic car/race car (#3 & #8) NASCAR set ..and there are none to be found.

Please if anyone knows of a set that would fit the description listed above..please email me..I'm afraid to come back here.

sheri

[Vallie]

Yes like Sandy requested Antique Rose was beautiful, more similar to that would be nice! Hint, hint!! :)

[Vallie]

Me again, just read Sheri's request. My son is crazy about cars, even though we are in Aus he likes NASCAR too and some guy called Dale Ernhardt Jnr! Also any Aus v8 series cars and Formula 1. Or elements that can be used for any sort of motor racing layout.

[elizabethlmccoy]

HEY!! don't let my dh & my sister hear you saying Jr. is ugly!!!! That's their favorite driver well my hubby doesn't think he's cute or anything but he likes him...and my sister wants to marry him :) hehehe

[sugarplum]

Lauren ji can we have an add on to the Hippy Chick kit? It's just so awesome, bright, and versatile, I would love to have more to work with!

[sugarplum]

How about an oriental style kit? Something like an Arabian Nights Page Kit or anything Eastern, even something Japanese would be lovely! You could probably include a painted screen or background and a nice paper fan... with perhaps chopsticks and sushi thrown in. Lol. I know those are difficult to create, but for you nothing is impossible. And for the Arabian Nights Kit, perhaps a tarnished bronze lamp, a hookah and a sequined veil or something? That would be fantastic!

[franbvm]

a big bird kit. i have an umbrella cockatoo and know there are many parrot lovers out there...but very little kits available to scrap our babies with

[boobearsmama1]

I think I already asked for this, but maybe I didn't post it on the board. I am looking to get a karate kit. with Korean symbol charms (maybe). all the different belt colors could make good ribbons. I have alot of ideas for this kit, so if it ever comes on the table... :)

I have sooo many karate pictures adding up in my folders. :)

Oh, and on good news.. my dd is going up for her orange belt in two weeks.

[boobearsmama1]

i agree with sandy, too. I would love addons to the antique rose

(I didn't even get it as a "gimme" add on freebie as many of you did...I loved it so much that I bought it from the store)
It's GORGEOUS!!!

[shintze]

Not sure if this has been mentioned before but how about a scrapping kit for paper and digi scrappers?

Sue:)

[sandygb]

YES YES YES Shintze! I plan on going to Lisa's build a kit chat tonight at 10 PM EST, and I think that is what I'm going to request....a kit for scrapper to use in scrapping ABOUT being a scrapper. You're right, it has been mentioned before, but thanks for the reminder!!!

[Elisabeth]

Uh oh, then, hope I'm not intruding, but I made a kit for just such a use! I saw it requested somewhere in this thread a looooooong time ago, but now I can't find it, just your recent one!

You can see it here (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=101763&nocache=1) and I hope it suits some of your needs!

[MaureenH]

Elisabeth, I wasn't the one requesting it, but that is a really fun kit and I can't find it in the store. Can you provide a link. Thanks.

[sandygb]

Maureen - I think Elisabeth's kit link says this kit will be available in the store on June 1st.

[Vallie]

I was wondering if there is a mermaid type kit. What I wanted to do is put a body in a mermaid bottom half element with lots of shiny scales! And add all sorts of bling, like shells and starfish and pearls and gems and coral and sequins, and swirly things and... and.... and..... :)

[LindaSH85]

I second the knitting kit request (crochet hooks too!). Another obsession run amok here - yarn, yarn, and more yarn plus half finished projects. Maybe if I could scrap the progress, I might finish a few. Maybe...

Yarn, paper, digital scrapping kits ... I am such a collector!

On edit - is there a "collecting/obsession" kit? I could use one of those as well. And a kit centered around video games or computer games might be fun since my kids are totally addicted.

[plattwaz]

I don't have the eye-energy right now to read 12 pages of posts so maybe someone has already mentioned this..:rolleyes:

Anyway, my biggest difficulty in purchasing or downloading any products from DSP is that it just seems to me that that massive majority of stuff here is for scrapping CHILDREN. Babies, toddlers, school-kids, grandkids, etc etc.

For those people who do not have a baby, toddler, school-aged kid, grandchild, neice, or nephew.....well, it limits the amount of items available for purchase. I'd love some items that were aimed for adults who hang out with other adults and don't always want "pretty" layouts, but more "funky" stuff; perhaps some more in the travel section? Or something for someone who's living more of a "----in-the-City" lifestyle... rather than an "Oprah" one? :o

I would also love to see some kits that are mainly elements, and not necessarily related to one another -- but I'm sick of very dainty pretty pink ribbons! I mean, I think they are amazing that people can create them, but there are so many out there already....I'd just like to see some different things.

[LindaSH85]

plattwaz,

I understand what you are saying, and it is totally valid. I, for one, am a bit tired of pale and muted and most things heritage, although I reserve the right to change my mind if I see something I like. The designers here actually create in a wide range of styles, and you may be pleasantly surprised if you take some time to explore the store. I know it is a daunting task since there is so much to look at, and it can feel very overwhelming.

Unfortunately for you, most of us do have kids, grandkids, nieces, and/or nephews. So, the market is there for kid-centric kits. Having said that, I think you can find funky stuff even if the kit is geared toward kids. Case in point, Teens Love Page Kit (http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1765) The color scheme is dark blue/white primarily, but I have used it recolored. Another thing to consider is the Scraps of Style - Retro CD (http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_6_29&products_id=2351) The page kits on this CD are most definitely not baby-oriented. I love most of the kits on this CD (I got the downloadable version because I love instant gratification.), and I have used them in bits and pieces several times now. There are several other CDs that might suit your needs, most if not all of which are downloadable.

There are also several element collections in the store - you can find them by choosing "Downloads" under "Categories" and then clicking on "Embellishment Sets". THere are a number of interesting sets that are not at all "cutesy". You can also search for "brad" or whatever. Your search will bring up kits that contain that type of element, so you may need ot be more specific. If you have time, experiment and see what you turn up.

Also consider some ot the heritage-style kits. They aren't funky per se, but they aren't generally frilly either. And don't overlook the kid-oriented kits completely. You may find that some of these kits are actually quite versatile. I think it helps if you don't think of the kit as a whole, but think of it as a bunch of pieces that can be mixed and matched with other things. And don't forget that you can always recolor something if you like the style, but not the color.

If you have any questions or would like some ideas on other kits, feel free to PM me. I am happy to share my experience with you. And I am always happy to help out in any way.

[oydiegirl]

I would love a kit based around feeding the ducks. I've looked and there isn't any and I have some lovely duck photos :) Maybe with a web feet theme and an element of a line of ducks in silhouette, a nice ribbon with 'quack quack quack' written along it, things like that. Just tossing ideas in here! I know what I want I just don't have the skill to do it myself LOL

wow scraphags. that is a great post! :)

I just wanted to add alot of times I buy whole kits for one particulare paper or element that I really love and HAVE to have. You really can use ANY kit for ANY layout. It just depends on you. Bethy (I think) just ran a challenge recently to use masculine kits for a femininie layout and visa versa. It was a fun way to think outside the box. You don't have to use the kit for the "theme" the kit is made. You can always recolor them and mix and match with other kits. There are SOOO many amazingly generic kits in the store.

Anyway, enough rambling. :)

I came to suggest a karate kit. I was also thinking is there a pool players kit? I have a friend who loves to shoot pool. I am trying to lure his wife into digi scrapping, lol. She asked me did I know of one, but I didn't find one in the store.

Video Gamers kit

black velvet and roses kit :)

orange/yellow something kit :) (generic grunge would be cool)

what about a paper pack set with different inspirational words all over the papers

[geckogirl]

How about one for pets? there might already be one - I'm new here and haven't looked at everything yet.

I'd also like some pages I could use for a trip to the zoo so maybe a more generic animal one would be good.

I'd love the --- in the city lifestyle one - like girls night out, restaurants, bars, theater, city scenes, purses, shoes, makeup,

[geckogirl]

found the pets!

[Vallie]

Hey Boobear I love the idea of black velvet and roses!!!! :)

[sugarplum]

a coffee house themed kit? or a generally "coffee" themed kit.

[sugarplum]

a coffee house themed kit? or a generally "coffee" themed kit.
a grainy coffee coloured textured background
a coffee or lipstick stained paper napkin with something like 'meet me at 6' scribbled on it
a velvet/satin bow in coffee brown
journalling card
coffee beans
coffee mug
will be back with more

[sugarplum]

chocolate shavings or flakes
chocolate bar or slab
coffee bean brad
chocolate swirl
frothed capuccino overlay

[sugarplum]

novel with bookmark inserted
textured photo mat
coffee word art
smooth metal frame and photocorners

wow! these may well make an add on too!

[sugarplum]

i second the request for knitting-crochet themed kits! But i also understand that there may not be too much of a market for such a kit. Nevertheless, here're my suggestions:
knitting needles/crochet hook (OBVIOUSLY)
ball of yarn (another obvious element)
knit and purl textured backgrounds.
crocheted flowers
sewing needle
yarn skeins
long crochet strip (ribbon like)
crochet trimming
unravelled knitted swatch

[sugarplum]

and something like the one suggested by plattwaz and danavbrown
a glitz and glamour type kit would be awesome!

[sugarplum]

I would love to see additions to the Ceylonese Sapphire kit.....or a challenge or a gimme featuring it.
(I didn't even get it as a "gimme" add on freebie as many of you did...I loved it so much that I bought it from the store)
It's GORGEOUS!!!
.....

[sugarplum]

It would be really cool if you could come up with a jewel series... we already have ceylonese sapphire, ruby romance and amethyst kits. Diamond, pearl, turquoise, topaz, opal and garnet would be LOVELY!

[sugarplum]

Hot Chips!

[tiahoney]

I have a special request for nursing stuff....I am planning on making some layouts for my classmates and would like some word art and elements (stethascopes, bloodpressure cuffs, syringes, meds, etc.)

[sandygb]

Hmm. I was thinking I would love to have all kinds of easy to fill shapes. Not with depth to them like the chips, but more intricate shape to be used as masks that can be selected and filled with either a color or a paper. For example. I would love to have leaf shapes, perhaps with the veins left as open space...and flower shapes that can be filled. Hmm. I can also see that stitches would be cool too. If they were done in solid black, they would be easy to select and change to any color you wanted. Maybe some Quick Click edge overlays. Most edge overlays are not terribly easy to change the color because of the gradations of black to gray. If they were done as a series of quick click templates, they could be a rough, but solid solor that could easily be changed to any color, or even filled with a paper for a funky look....and then layered together to form the edge overlay of your dreams....in the correct gradation...if that makes sense. Those are a few of my ideas!

[Maikku]

I'd like more cat worddart. Things like Cats rule dogs drool. Funny sayings stating the divine cat! Lol!

And what about another cat -kit . The kit could have little labels like I love my cat, My cat is the best etc. Ribbons with tiny pawprits on them.... background with tiny kittyfaces.:D

I would go for somthing like this as well.

[boobearsmama1]

I am hoping to get a karate themed kit. I also have a request for a first hair cut kit.

[boobearsmama1]

I would love some woodchip flowers too :)

[boobearsmama1]

ok sorry, one more request... what about an ice skating kit?

[sandygb]

I would like a cooking themed kit with pots and pans, measuring cups and spoons, mixing bowls....something a bit worn and rustic rather than new and shiny. Could be used for cooking layouts, holiday meal preparation, pot luck suppers, teaching kids to cook, photos of mom (or whoever cooking). I LOVE Meryl's Granny's Pudding collection and would love some elements along those lines that that would coordinate.

[my2mckids]

I don't know if you are still looking for requests, but several of my friends and I are desparately searching for tae kwon do related kits/elements. Specifically, korean symbols (both for elements and backgrounds), dragons, silk-like backgrounds, laser cut-like figures, and belts (white, orange, yellow, camo, green, purple, blue, brown, red, and black). I have Kim's Asian Beauty kits, but still looking for more!

[Bocca]

I would like Torn edges templetes similar to Lisa's borders but want them for mats for pictures, journaling, etc. that have torn edges. I would like several different mats with some of them with all torn edges and some with one or two. I like torn papers but can't do them myself. It would be great if they were easliy resized without distorting the torn edge.

[Kathy.M]

Baby Kits

[Lauren]

Baby Kits
There are currently 134 Baby themed items available in our store and if you wait just a few days - there might be a few more!!!

[kimscrapping]

I'd love something warm, cozy, and comfortably romantic in a "we've been together for quite awhile" sort of way - soft neutrals ... sweetie, honey, beloved... etc. A kit that would compliment eating breakfast together in worn robes and newspaper pages dropping to the floor. Did I explain well enough? lol

[sfoneill]

All these ideas sound soooooo good!!!! I want all of them.....I have so many already, I can't even get my butt to using them all, but I want more!!!

Every designer does a great job, so no matter what it is, I'll probably buy it!

[Elisabeth]

Kimscrapping, I don't know if Kim Liddiard was reading your mind or your post, but this is new in the store:

Feeling Romantic (http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=3443)

[kitkat222]

It would be great if they were easliy resized without distorting the torn edge.

I don't know if "seconding" a suggestion helps at all, but I would like this kind of a template set too! I'm a part-time scrapper since darn work keeps tiring me out - (I don't know how you guys with kids do it since I understand that's even more work!). So I don't have a lot of time to spend practicing techniques and I would be more than happy to pay for someone else to make things like this.

[mercerph]

I'd love some more doodles... I know there are some great ones in the store already but I would really love some more to choose from that could be used on boy pages... no flowers!!!

[nancyr]

I love Meryl's dates both the grungy and the carved but they dont go back far enough. I really would like the 1900's. Would that be possible. I tried to put them on a LO of my son from 1980's and was not possible. Did I just miss them?
Thanks for help

[ArcaneFaery]

More football, more stitched items, more Halloween.....can we tell I'm ready for fall? LOL.

Ooowh! Maybe something, for, believe or not, wrestling. Professional wrestling. One of my best freinds and her husband wrestles (she calls it amateur, I call it pro, it's out of town in a huge arena!) and I'd love to scrap some pages for her.

[Elisabeth]

Nancy, check out:Circles of dates - the 1900s (http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2997)
and
Circles of Dates - the 1980s (http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2991)

Will either of those do? If not search "dates" in the store, Tina has a ton of them in there and there are a few by other designers.

[Maikku]

I just saw the Woof-kit in the store for Doglovers. I was wondering maybe Samara would like to make a coordinating Meaow-kit for kittylovers?:D

[Quirky]

ok....This is gonna sound crazy...but fairies...dragons...trolls...goblins...more realistic ones...There are some in the store that are cutsy...but none that are more adult...to give you an idea I'm gonna list a few sites...the first is another sculptor that could give you a HUGE range of types of fairies and colors and such....the other is an artist that does several fairy things...I know you can't copy them due to copyright and all...but I wanted to give you an idea of what I was talking about...

http://www.goddess-dreams.com/index-2.html
http://www.nenethomas.com/contact.shtml

Just a thought....and I know...an odd one at that. :):)

[GwendalinAivli]

How about a kit with colors, textures, and embellishments that play off of art from a certain era. Something classic and timeless that could be used for travel/vacation, nauture, everyday, and art themed pages, as well as heritage, wedding, etc...

You could do a series of kits that deal with different eras and styles of art like pop art, impressionism, abstract, surrealism, renaissance. You could incorporate different cultures like Celtic, Asian, or African art.

For instance, one of my favorite artists is JW Waterhouse he is considered a Pre-Raphaelite or NeoClassic: http://www.jwwaterhouse.com/

Here is a link to a color scheme/inspriational idea that I had:
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=130273&cat=500&ppuser=67060
I love these colors and this style of painting,but I don't think that a kit made from it would neccesarily have to be onle sea themed.

Just an idea....
:o) Wendi

[GwendalinAivli]

I agree! I am ready for fall! I have three boys, two of whom play football, and all three like to wrestle.

[ArcaneFaery]

OMG I LOVE Nene Thomas!!!! (She also has digital painting tuts on her site, by the way.) Ruth Thompson is a wonderful, wonderful artist, also. I want to be a faerie artist when I grow up. Nene and Ruth's stuff is what I would love for my stuff to look like. I'm still learning how to draw a good face, however. I can draw anything else. Ruth's site is: http://www.tarnishedimages.com/

Check her work out, she is amazing. I did a freehand coopy of Nene's Wild Child for a friend for her birthday. One of these days I'll post her version and mine. I am chafing at the bit to learn digital painting. Right now I just do graphite drawings.

I'd also like some Harley Davidson kits. I have a lot of bikers in the family, and plenty of old biker pics to scrap.

[GwendalinAivli]

OOH! Great ideas. I love Nene Thomas, too, and also Amy Brown. If my pages/layouts could look like that?...WOW! Also, I agree with the Harley suggestion. That would be very useful!

[Quirky]

Ok....she is AWSOME TOO!!!!!!!! Yeah...and Amy Brown also!!! They are just amazing....and yeah...I totally understand...I just got a wacom tablet because I wanted to learn how to do it too :):) gonna try and learn from those tutorials :):)

[GwendalinAivli]

I love fairies and mermaids, but with three boys it's difficult to use those themes. But I could definitely use dragons and knights (Lord of the Rings, Narnia, Braveheart, and Dragonheart??)!!

[Quirky]

And you are in the house aren't ya... :) don't you count :):) do some layouts for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GwendalinAivli]

Yes I do!:D Thank you!

(Am I being selfish?:o ) I'm new, sorry.

[GwendalinAivli]

How about themes like Pac Man, Frogger, Candy Land, or Monopoly?

[GwendalinAivli]

Okay, sorry. I didn't see thatyou had posted this. But, I agree...
:o Wendi

[GwendalinAivli]

There are a ton of people involved in the poker craze. My husband,father-in-law and mother-in-law are really into playing Texas Hold'em. It would be neat to have a page kit with this theme. Poker chips, playing cards, green table felt; hearts, diamonds, spades, and clubs... oh my.

[ArcaneFaery]

There's card page kits somewhere in the store. They are beautiful, heritage-style, but would probably work to give a page a nice sophisticated feel. If you have a program where you can make your own elements I don't imagine poker chips would be too awful hard to do. Some nice intelligent soul around here is bound to help. Green table felt can definitely be made with PSE4 or Photoshop..............

[GwendalinAivli]

Oooh! Thanks for the heads up. I will have to check the kits out. Making my own elements? There's a thought! (duh, why didn't I think of that? Must be the peroxide again.)

I know this isn't exactly what you want, but there's Kim Liddiard's Trump page kit
http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1488
and Marcee Duggar has card sets. Here is the link to hearts

Lisa Carter's Let's Play papers have the right black and white game feel
http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=3264

For the poker chips, I sometimes scan or photograph items I want to add or maybe find a graphic on the web, like Amazon.

[dtsandy5]

I've seen a couple of requests for video games. I'm looking for something like a "Die Hard Gamer" - my DS (who's only 5) is really getting into video games (PS2) and gets obsessed with trying to finish all of the levels in the game (hard to do with only 1 hour a day though). I've taken some pictures of him playing his first game and want to emphasize how this game had taken over his thoughts - comes up in his everyday discussions and art at school (he's now moved on to another game with the same obsession.
I would like to see a kit with elements of a controller, tv, system player, etc (not sure if these things would be copyrighted). Is anybody working on this type of kit - or any suggestions?

[brandiwest]

I have mentioned this in some chats recently and just now seen this thread!! Here is my wish for a kit!! LOL

I am in need of a kit that contains RED tractors!!! My sons' middle name is Case and everyone thinks he is named after Case tractors, LOL. So now needless to say at 19 months old he has quite an extensive Case tractor collection! I would LOVE to have elements that relate to farming; corn, wheat, twigs, barn, hay wagon, and of course RED tractors!! Any takers on designing a kit?? Thank you so much for your consideration!! Brandi

[ArcaneFaery]

DTSandy, as long as that video game fetish stays healthy, you can turn it into something good by urging him to learn the makings behind it as he gets older...............there are some very very lucrative careers in gaming......:)

[Jill W]

Since it seems (in this area of the country at least) interest in culinary arts is on the rise - a chef/kitchen theme would be nice. (of course, I am a bit partial) =)

[evergreen100]

I would love to see a generic charm selection in silver and gold, charms such as you would attach to a charm bracelet or hang from your bag or mobile phone, just like you buy at the jewellers shop (teddy bears, flowers, shoes, hearts, sunglasses, animals, etc). There are lots of lovely ones included in specific kits (such as Winter wonderland by Meryl Bartho), I love the little flip flop footwear charm in Meryl's Rockpool kit (we call them thongs in Aus), Elizabeth has a Family Charms kit out and there are other kits with several charms in them specific to the theme of that particular kit, but I would like a set that is not specific to any theme or style. Not necessarily with any background papers or anything, just the charms with a link attached and maybe a separate link that I could make into any length chain I needed.

Any takers, designers?

[shuyack]

Sports, Sports and more Sports - Soccer, Baseball and softball especially. More Fun stuff for the sports. My kids and all their friends are in these sports year round and I love to make pages for them but I need new stuff. :o)

[sandygb]

Oh, I second the charm idea Jill! I can think of all sorts of charms too...celestial, shopping, hearts, stars, crosses, baby items, zodiac signs, numbers, alphas, etc. I would also like a few different types of charm holders to hang the charms from....like the kind of charm holder you might wear on a necklace.

[EeyoreLynn]

"Question Any Special Kit requests
What sort of kits would you like to purchase - any special themes or styles that you really would love???????????"

I'm looking cruise themes, Snorkling, formal night, caribian (sp), virgin island, bahamas, mexico, ect. i've been on two, scraped half of one. And we're going on another to mexico over thanksgiving. I haven't really found much. in the one i'm scrapping I just used blues and a couple of fish/sand boards

[elaineuad22]

Hi! I have searched a lot of websites. There was not one kit for a pastry chef. One paper should have Sample Sunday on it. We bake all kinds of pastries. Our pasty chef is leaving, so I wanted to do a scrapbook page for him. We'll miss him a lot.

Thanks!

Elaine

[elaineuad22]

I've seen where people put pictures in letters. I'm not sure where, but you can only do certain words, like mother, father, pool, fun, etc. What about doing separate letters where we can put pictures in the letters?

I didn't see my other post show up. So it might get posted twice.

What about kits for different football teams? Like the New Orleans Saints, etc?

Thanks!

Elaine

[Talktopam]

I would like a quickclick template for making tags. I was hoping there could be tags in several shapes and sizes that could be filled like other quickclicks and then additional layers to provide distressed edges and other decorative touches. Maybe a layer with chains, strings, etc. to hang the tags. Is there such a product in the DSP store?

[Lauren]

No nothing exactly like this - it wouldnt be practical to do layers with strings as these need to be created elements rather than pasted in papers but certainly some designer might make a tag template set

[nekobus]

elaine - you could do this yourself. Here's a thread for a current challenge Stacey is running to make a christmas card using photos inside the words, and the chat transcript gives instructions:

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19761

Also, you could do this with a lot of different alphas - Lauren has a lot of chipboard alphas that are made to be filled with your own papers - you could do pictures just as easily. Suzanne has at least one chipboard alpha as well. Just go to the store and search "chipboard".

I don't think any of the designers can do anything with sports teams, as those would be copyrighted brands.

elaine, Lisa Carter has a set of tag templates, all rectangle shape , but they have different overlays for crumpled., stitched, scratched,chalked effects. Go look here and see if that helps:)

[DrGranma]

Yes, Yes! Please more CDAlbum kits. Can be generic but travel, friends, family would also be good... Even a set of open-ended templates would be fine. I made one as a bday present for a friend and it was the best present ever.

If you all haven't tried them, they are pretty quick and are spectacular when presented in the round CD tins. I printed cover on stickyback 6X6 paper and glued to the cover. it was a real HIT.

Hi I'm just learning to move around here so sorry if I'm asking in the wrong place, but I think I'm right anyway Twigs or bare branches I'm looking for to frame a picture, something real natural. Has anyone seen anything like this is so can you help me locate it , I will look through the tutorial and see if I can make it. Hum let me know if anyone has a suggestion (maybe I can go in the woods and find one I can take a picture of Hummmm?
