My family loves to go 4-wheeling and quad/motorcycle riding in the desert (specifically in California's Mojave Desert near Joshua Tree National Monument). I'd love to see a kit or two that would include things such as:


BG paper with quad atv/rider and motorcross style bike/rider in silhouette
sand dunes BG paper
tire trail marks in the sand (maybe a PS brush?)
dust spray (from the tires kicking up dust on the dirt trails)
dust devil (think mini sand tornado)
helmet - goggles - riding gloves - boots (maybe a cluster for these)
boulder rocks
cactus (barrel, silver cholla, old man prickly pear)
desert lily
a Joshua Tree
creosote bushes BG paper and maybe single bush element as well
old topographic map BG paper


I have a website link that has great examples of what the area and plant life (cacti, desert lily and Joshua Tree) looks like but I wasn't sure if I could post it or not.

As I write this post, it occurs to me that a whole kit devoted to cacti would be awesome - I'm sure some of our other desert scrappers would enjoy it!

Thanks in advance if someone decides to take on this challenge! I'd so love something like this as we go out 4-5 times a year and always take tons of pictures! :)

Thank you so much, Mandy!!! This is so well thought through. :) The designers have seen it and just watch the store for some fun new stuff! :)

Still hoping for a kit like this. Even if it's just a kit of the various cacti, that would be awesome!

Hey, I just saw this - and I'd love to see a kit like this come to the shop too. We go dune-buggying and four-wheeling in the desert too - not the Californian one, but more like the Najd lol - Saudi Arabia and also here in Kuwait. We sometimes go horsebackriding too, and there's always the camels too but they're pretty cranky so we let them be lol
I'd love a kit with sand, with dust (LOL oh the uses for that one!), with palm trees, with big rocks, etc. Esp the dust spray idea - lol d'you know how many dust storms we get here?! A kit that had that would get used lottttttttttts - goodness, I could do a complete album just with that one kit alone ;)
