mariafer you are making me hungry with your schemes - and i want the recipes for the popcorn and the cookies - mind you Im desperately trying to be very good so maybe having the recipes isnt a good idea after all

[Seagal]

How about this one?

NO! The recipes are a good idea! Recipes don't have calories in them! It is the food!! LOL!

[pinky7]

Oh, goodie! I am early enough to make my color scheme suggestions!

I like the deep tones of this swatch so resubmitting it.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE - I LOVE LOVE IT!!!!!! This is my vote ;)

[Raphne]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE - I LOVE LOVE IT!!!!!! This is my vote ;)

Me too! It's beautiful.

Ummmmm. . . it makes me think of coffee! LOL

At this hour, everything makes me think of coffee;)

[HeatherL]

Here is a new one from me.

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a171/scrapdogs/autumn-leaves_web.jpg

[Tallie]

Oh, Heather, I absolutely love the fall colors in this swatch --- this swatch would make an elegant kit. I vote for Heather's last swatch.

[Kathleen]

I need to come up with something new, but in the meantime, still loving this one:

I don't seem to be able to upload right now, so I'm bringing back an old favorite

Yes I like it too - and how can I ignore Corgi Lovers begging!!!!!!!!!!
Lets go with this - so now we need some background ideas

[tape]

How about something that looks like handmade paper, sort of mottled?

[Tallie]

I would like to see the dark brown or the tan (A18249) in a burlap type paper, a little grungy on the edges and maybe with a rolled/turned corner.

[carolat]

Not picky here - I am just thrilled that you chose these colors! Any of the suggestions so far are great and here are a couple more - anything like graph paper or corrugated cardbord with the first layer torn off so you can see the corrugated part.

[mariafer]

mariafer you are making me hungry with your schemes - and i want the recipes for the popcorn and the cookies - mind you Im desperately trying to be very good so maybe having the recipes isnt a good idea after all

I haven't been around but since your are my favorite designer :tup: here you go...

caramel nut popcorn (http://www.hostesswiththemostess.com/recipe_box/caramel_nut_popcorn)
Almond cookie (http://www.hostesswiththemostess.com/recipe_box/spiced_alomond_cookies)

Haven't tried either but am planning on trying one before the fall is over!

[HeatherL]

How about an interesting stripe using all the colors in the swatch. I am think more of an uneven stripe with maybe some stripes on top of stripes, a little texture, a little rugged, a little grungy.

[Corgi Lover]

Thank you thank you lauren :) :) I will try hard not to beg ;) LOL

[doda]

How about graph looking paper with the really dark color and the gold color for the graph. Or anything with the dark color and the gold with swirls, leaves, scrolls, etc.

[Impy]

I really like the watercolored look of the paper behind the flower in the sample (with or without the rose). This could very easily go in a heritage direction (my favorite) or not.
Maybe a canvas look with a watercolored effect in the various shades.

[Impy]

How about that white background with the 3 brown stripes together on each side and top and bottom? (That didn't come out like I see it in my head, but I hope you know what I mean - look at the sample photo.)

OR, alternately, you could do a white textured background and then the brown stripes could be in cord or ribbon as a separate overlay.

[Lauren]

How about an interesting stripe using all the colors in the swatch. I am think more of an uneven stripe with maybe some stripes on top of stripes, a little texture, a little rugged, a little grungy.

well its sort of a stripe - well several stripes going in different directions and really inspired by the image
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmecrops/gimmekits/gimme18_1.jpg

[pinky7]

I love the look of the inspiration photo so how about a tan colored paper with white flowers on it. (not one flower like the inspiration photo but multiple flowers)

[pinky7]

Well, hello, Lauren! We pushed the enter button at the same time! I think you were just a little ahead of me!

[Kathleen]

I like all the different rectangles. To balance this paper, how about in similar tones (maybe a little lighter or a little darker) a swirly background. Different size swirls in different colors in a messy sort of way.

[happybeingamom]

That paper is very cool

[carolat]

Love the paper - how about a fabric(any type) with loose threads, almost like it has been snagged or just worn so it is threadbare in places.

[carolat]

or I would always love to see any of the colors in a graph paper!

[honeymoon]

Love the first paper.

How about a cream bg with a copper/glitter swirly design all over it, maybe with little leaves.

Or a self embossed paper with the swirls and small flowers or little birds.

[sandygb]

I totally missed the beginning of this kit. I think I looked for the thread immediately after the last one finished, but it hadn't been posted yet....then I forgot. Nice color choices.

How about a very pale ivory with tiny brown dots, almost like a speckled bird egg.

[sueya]

Would like to see a paper in the darkest shade with flower doodles in the paler shades around the edge.

[Tallie]

Bringing this forward - love the first paper, Lauren.

I would like to see the dark brown or the tan (A18249) in a burlap type paper, a little grungy on the edges and maybe with a rolled/turned corner.

[mariafer]

I like sandy's dot idea and carolats graph idea...

I would also like to see a grunged paper in maybe the last two colors with the cardboard corners showing. Or even maybe just one color like a carboard box and then the edges ripped off and showing the corrugation.

Or a venetian plastered wall type texture in one of the colors.

or a take on the flower how about the flower faded in the background in a corner

and my last idea a brushed background in the second to last color with sanded edges.

[bsneely]

a linen or silky background in the darker tones

[bsneely]

Someone mention putting some of those lovely flowers on a background ... maybe something like what you did w/ Brittany Blues would be good!

[Raphne]

Love that bold paper-- unique! And *really* love the color scheme (thanks, corgi!)

I think we need some solids to balance that out. I'd like to see a tone-on-tone embossed with leaves or flowers, really in any of the colors.

[Corgi Lover]

I would love a dk choc paper grunged up some with lighter tan/cream flowers really tiny with vines coming in on just the edges of the paper - so it is mostly solid with a touch of flowers on one side :)

[sandygb]

I would love a dk choc paper grunged up some with lighter tan/cream flowers really tiny with vines coming in on just the edges of the paper - so it is mostly solid with a touch of flowers on one side :)

That sounds perfect Beth!!!

[Lauren]

I totally missed the beginning of this kit. I think I looked for the thread immediately after the last one finished, but it hadn't been posted yet....then I forgot. Nice color choices.

How about a very pale ivory with tiny brown dots, almost like a speckled bird egg.
Well I liked the idea of dotty birdsegg speckles but I went with lighter speckles on a dark brown paper
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmecrops/gimmekits/gimme18_2.jpg

[Impy]

My daughter Emily has a brown corduroy dress from osh kosh that has little tan flowers scattered all over it. I think that would be a pretty bg paper! :)

[HeatherL]

Oh Lauren I love the stripe design. You are so creative!

[tape]

Marbled paper would look really cool in those colours.

[Kathleen]

I think it needs something to lighten up the papers. How about a couple of the lighter browns like a seagrass wall paper, but maybe rather than straight grass, a little bit of an s pattern/weave to the grass. Something like:

http://discount-wallcovering.com/images/grasscloth/NEP002.jpg

[carolat]

An off white antiqued linen w/ worn edges would look great here

or I have my GG Grandmothers handkercheif holder here (to scan for a heritage page) - the fabric is a sort of cream satin, dull with shiny flowers embossed. The rosebuds are made of lace that is incorporated into the fabric - I think that would be an awesome background!

[Raphne]

Marble, definitely marble. In the light color with swirls of all the browns.

[sandygb]

Love the speckled paper Lauren. Funny thing is, after I posted about dark speckles on light, I was going to come back and suggest light speckles on dark. I'm glad you read my mind!! LOL.

[crouch79]

How about something with swirls on it, like different shades of brown

[Corgi Lover]

What about a lighter print of bamboo leaves and shoots

[sandygb]

What about a lighter print of bamboo leaves and shoots

Or stalks of wheat stamped into the corner....

[Fade2Pink]

On the first BG, the center large block, what about that as the design, and maybe a shade or two lighter. I think that looks so pretty.

[honeymoon]

I think the idea of something organic would go well with this kit, whether it be floral or leaves or wheat.

I'd still quite like a swirl of little vines and leaves, copper on the cream bg.

Or maybe dragonflies zipping over the bg.

[pinky7]

I'd still quite like a swirl of little vines and leaves, copper on the cream bg.


Yea, like that!

[Lauren]

How about something that looks like handmade paper, sort of mottled?

I like the idea of the swirls/vines/plants on the paper but figured it would be far more versatile if I make the borders separately and you can add them onto the plainer papers
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmecrops/gimmekits/gimme18_3.jpg

[sandygb]

What a beautiful paper, and I like the way the striped/plaid paper looks underneath it too.

For the last paper, I would like to see something in the coppery-brown color.

[MarsOlson]

worn grid lines

[pinky7]

I like the idea of the swirls/vines/plants on the paper but figured it would be far more versatile if I make the borders separately and you can add them onto the plainer papers
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmecrops/gimmekits/gimme18_3.jpg

OK, then, I vote for some white flowerss, maybe gardenias, with some leaves sticking out!

And then I like Sandy's idea, maybe making it grunged up a bit!


For the last paper, I would like to see something in the coppery-brown color.

[carolat]

Bringing this one forwardor I would always love to see any of the colors in a graph paper!

[Betsyfru]

How about another of your marvelous marbled papers? It would be another to add to the ones you've made for other kits, don't have one in these shades yet...:-) I love them so!

[pinky7]

Or a tone on tone, diagonal graph paper!

[MarsOlson]

creased, shabby brown/tan paper with horizontal and vertical fold lines.

[Raphne]

I love that handmade paper!

I'd still like to see the marble, but that failing, how about a paper in the medium brown, like one of the blocks in the striped paper, but the whole paper that way? I'm thinking in particular the block peaking out from under the tip of the corner of the handmade paper.

[Lauren]

Or a tone on tone, diagonal graph paper!

well not exactly tone on tone but diagonal graph paper none the less

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmecrops/gimmekits/gimme18_4.jpg

[Tallie]

Are we ready for elements? I'd like to see a leafy flourish with some bling in the coppery tones with/maybe some in the rich tones of brown, cream and coppery "jewel" like thingees. I can picture them - not sure if I am making sense, though.

Or some ivory vine-like borders with a hint of grunge.

[carolat]

a set of dark brown or black chipboard photo corners - a litlle worn in places so the lighter color of the chipboard shows through - I was thinking the shape of the old photo corners that you see in albums

[sandygb]

Are we ready for elements? I'd like to see a leafy flourish with some bling in the coppery tones with/maybe some in the rich tones of brown, cream and coppery "jewel" like thingees. I can picture them - not sure if I am making sense, though.

Or some ivory vine-like borders with a hint of grunge.

I like the sound of the leafy flourish. I am picturing coppery metal leaves on a brown-black wire flourish.

[minnmom79]

a fabric swirl with stitching around the edge or a fuzzy fiber edge

a square or rectangle copper frame with a grid like pattern etched on

[Tallie]

Some stitching in a variated color - cream variagating to the brown.
OR
Laces with coppery eyelets (that you would see in an old fashioned corset) with shiny ribbon binding the eyelets together.

[HeatherL]

I would like to see a suspended frame with hangers of wires or vines or flourishes or cord attached. Something creative and different than the word "frame" usually make us think of. Gee I wonder if I even know what I am talking about.

[Tallie]

I would like to see some vintage looking larger postage stamps, in the colors of the sample, grungied up a bit.

[crouch79]

A Butterfly with amber browns and gold accents. or a brad or eyelet. I also would suggest some old type of paper for journaling, or a book/notebook/journal element for journaling.

[MarsOlson]

stack of frames in different papers

[dawn-in-nz]

A coppery (or brass) coloured wire mesh of some sort to match that last paper.

[Lauren]

I would like to see a suspended frame with hangers of wires or vines or flourishes or cord attached. Something creative and different than the word "frame" usually make us think of. Gee I wonder if I even know what I am talking about.

Here ya go - well I still think of it as a frame but its suspended and has vines around it
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmecrops/gimmekits/gimme18_5.jpg

[Tallie]

Cool element, Lauren - love it!

[crouch79]

How about a journaling element with perhaps playing off the vines/leaves on the frame element. Some old paper with vines stamped on it.

[Corgi Lover]

I would love a gold mesh

Gold edge

[sandygb]

How pretty. I love that frame...the color of the wood is perfect. I'm totally drawing a blank. Will need to think on this....

[HeatherL]

Love love love it Lauren! The deep, rich wood frame is perfect with those vines and leaves. Now to think, what else...

[carolat]

Excellent, the vine looks so real!

How about a bunch of dried flowers - you know, like a bouquet of roses hung upside down to dry - tied w/a pretty cream colored ribbon

[pinky7]

a white gardenia or two!

[dawn-in-nz]

White gardenias would be lovely Pinky, or water lilies.

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/6016/beige_brown_white.jpg

[MarsOlson]

gold chain

[sueya]

I think a copper chain would look good
Also I would like to see a pearl stick pin or some stitches with a needle attached

[MarsOlson]

stacked black and brown strips

[honeymoon]

A coppery swirly all over overlay that could be used over a paper (a bit like the diagonal grid that you've used on the acrylic pieces).

Really like a creamy ribbon to tie round that frame - maybe with a little bow.

[HeatherL]

I would like to see some coppery flourishes or swirls with some dried stems of flowers mixed within and perhaps a hint of those leaves to tie it in with the frame. I love what you did with Brittany Blues which made me think of a possibility for this kit but again different. I wonder what gardenias mixed within copper would look like. Ok I think I am rambling now.

[HeatherL]

What about a very fine line copper (or white) grid or diamond shaped overlay.

[Corgi Lover]

i still could see some mess mesh

a beautiful flower :)

[Impy]

OK, I begged for stitching last time, so I'll do it again as this kit would lend itself well to stitching.

I'd like a rectangular frame made of stitches, please

A round stitched frame would work, too, to mimic the other frame.

An overlay of stitches to go around the page.

A row of stitches to hold down elements or papers.

Zigzag or straight stitches, but I'd like sewing machine stitches as I can't imagine sewing my paper pages with a needle and thread. :)

OOH, I have a vine stitch on my Pfaff that looks similar to the one on the frame. THAT would be way cool! :)

(This would be a great birthday present! :party:) :lol: :lol:

[Lauren]

i still could see some mess mesh

a beautiful flower :)
I think you wanted gold mesh right - this isnt mess mesh but its gold!!- and it has a few beads on it cause i liked that when I did that in another kit!!
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmecrops/gimmekits/gimme18_6.jpg

[carolat]

Ooh - I really love those beads on the mesh - totally different!

[crouch79]

Lauren that is lovely, how about some bronze brads or gold, either would work with the color scheme.

[carolat]

a folded stitched ribbon, maybe twill

[Tallie]

I would like a creamy (maybe crinkled a bit) ribbon and a fall and creamy nosegay.

[MarsOlson]

the mesh is terrific

[sandygb]

What awesome mesh!!!! Thanks Lauren and thanks for asking for that Beth. Perfect!!

[pinky7]

Oh, cool! I love the mesh!

[dawn-in-nz]

How about a Pomander made of creamy flowers similar to one of these.
http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:ROwzvfroqDAkiM:http://www.flower-arrangement-advisor.com/images/pomander.jpghttp://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:yH1PEw5yzaZFuM:http://www.weddingswithadifference.com/pomander/pomander_4.jpg

[Corgi Lover]

Thank you Lauren! That is beautiful - i just love it!

[Raphne]

ooooh, I love that mesh!

How about a feather, maybe like a pheasant feather

A twig, maybe with some brown leaves, but looking more natural

Perhaps a pussywillow sprig

A cattail

[bsneely]

That mesh is magical!!!! Love the beads in it!! WOW!

[bsneely]

Flowers would be great ... more random, not in an organized formation ... but large enough to tuck behind "stuff." How about a pale blue flower or two--3 actually :D

[HeatherL]

This kit is coming together ever so nicely. The mesh is a nice touch to this earthy kit.

[Kathleen]

elegant chicken wire (I think), love it!

How about a group of 3 (or 5) strands of string that put together in one spot in a knot.

rather than a ribbon, a couple of very crinkled pieces of aged newsprint - like they were put through a crinkle machine (I really think there is such a thing, or am I totally making it up).

[Dani B]

Kathleen, I know what you mean - there is a roller thing that will crinkle your paper when you run your paper through it. I saw it once at a craft show, reminds me of the rollers on old wringer washing machines.

I like the idea of crushed wrinkled newsprint too in sepia tones.

[LynnT]

I think ... it might need one of those 3 picture frame... probably in med-tone ppr. the wood might be too heavy and the wire too light ... or 1 rectanglar wood frame

[Lauren]

Are we ready for elements? I'd like to see a leafy flourish with some bling in the coppery tones
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmecrops/gimmekits/gimme18_7.jpg

[Betsyfru]

A creamy note card that has just some 'echoes' of the leaves embossed on it, maybe?

[Corgi Lover]

Ohhhhhhhhhh that is super cool - love it!

How about a ribbon - maybe with a ribbon slide?

Laced eyelets?

a set of gold filigree leaves - maybe with a jump ring loop on top to hang from the mesh or a metal chain?

[Tallie]

Perfect -- this is a lovely, lovely kit. Can't wait to see what develops next.

[carolat]

a folded stitched ribbon, maybe twill
maybe with rivets on it to match the leaves that you just put up

[Tallie]

Coppery staples or photo album corners would add a great touch, too. Or maybe a crinkled sheer coppery ribbon.

[pinky7]

OK, I begged for stitching last time, so I'll do it again as this kit would lend itself well to stitching

OOH, I have a vine stitch on my Pfaff that looks similar to the one on the frame. THAT would be way cool! :)


An overlay in tan stitches in a vine pattern would look cool! Make Impy happy and give her some stitches! I love the flourish thing!!

[Tallie]

Bringing these forward again:

I would like to see some vintage looking larger postage stamps, in the colors of the sample, grungied up a bit.

I would like a creamy (maybe crinkled a bit) ribbon and a fall and creamy nosegay.

Coppery staples or photo album corners would add a great touch, too. Or maybe a crinkled sheer coppery ribbon.

Some stitching in a variated color - cream variagating to the brown.
OR
Laces with coppery eyelets (that you would see in an old fashioned corset) with shiny ribbon binding the eyelets together.

[MarsOlson]

frayed stitched strips of fabric

Talk Like A Pirate Day

[sueya]

I'd like to see a string of creamy pearls or a pearl brooch

[pinky7]

Arghh, what do you mean, Mars?

[Lauren]

Havent forsaken you!!- I will be back with another piece later on today!!

[sandygb]

Okay...this is not the usual element, but I love the wood tone of the circle frame and would love to have a straight piece of wood (12" or 18") in the same finish, that is similar to crown-molding.

After that, I would love a metal hook element and perhaps a couple elements to hang from it....perhaps a star, a swirly clip.....

[Lauren]

[QUOTE=dawn-in-nz;531513]White gardenias would be lovely Pinky, or water lilies.

Well its not a gardenia or a waterlillies - in fact Im not 100% sure what it is but I like it!!! and I guess we are going to need some leaves to go with it !!- so that might have to be the next piece

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmecrops/gimmekits/gimme18_8.jpg

[Tallie]

The kit is gorgeous so far - can't wait to see what appears next.

[Lauren]

here are the leaves to go with the flower
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmecrops/gimmekits/gimme18_9.jpg

[MarsOlson]

Love the leaves!!

[Tallie]

Love it, Lauren. Great kit.

[sandygb]

WOW....It's a paper flower. Gosh, I used to grow flowers like this and I totally forget what they were called, but they were grown for the purpose of drying them to use in dried arrangements. Beautiful floral element and so are the leaves. I LOVE it!!!

[sandygb]

How about a square shaped border of satin stitching, probably in the light caramel color. It could be used close to the edge of a background paper, or resized to use as a photo frame, or to stitch papers or photos together.

[webfrau]

Just found this, lovely soothing colours. I really like the beaded chicken wire - I guess a nicer term would be mesh.

Maybe it needs a little bird to go with it.

[sandygb]

A bird??? ooo....maybe a little rooster....(she said, knowing Lauren has a rooster collection....)

[pinky7]

Oh, you guys are too funny!! Love the flower! It kind of reminds me of a mum. and the leaves are gorgeous too. Somebody asked for a white ribbon, I think. I think a white/off white bow would look good!

[dawn-in-nz]

Well its not a gardenia or a waterlillies - in fact Im not 100% sure what it is but I like it!!!

So do I, and the leaves are a perfect match, shall we call it a 'Lillenia'? ;)

[carolat]

I love those leaves!

Cream Twill ribbon would look great with this, I'm thinking folded and stitched down, with some stitching that goes over the edge

[Betsyfru]

A creamy note card that has just some 'echoes' of the leaves embossed on it, maybe?

Bringing this one back...And I think it looks just like a dahlia! Perfect leaves, too!

[HeatherL]

I am always amazed at this whole process of developing a kit. You just never know what direction it will go but id is always filled with lovely surprises.

[Impy]

Pret-ty! :clap: (As my 2 yo Abby would say!) :)

I really think it needs some stitching, though! (Pretty please with chocolate on top?)

http://www9l.incredimail.com/scache/im//gallery/content/200806181240/content_11902_prev.gif

[LynnT]

I love that flower - looks like a Chrysanthemum to me. What about a multi string ribbon with a bow

[Tallie]

I would love to see an airy/sheer copperish ribbon -- or even a widely open woven ribbon to compliment the kit.

[Raphne]

Gorgeous! This is rapidly shaping up into one of my favorites, and it isn't even finished!

I'd still like to see the ----- willow sprig, and I think someone else suggested a crinkled aged piece of journaling paper.

[honeymoon]

I think the flower looks like a straw flower and the leaves are perfect.

I'd love a beaded circle brad, with the beads off the mesh shaped into a flower perhaps or maybe just lines of beads going across the brad.

Still absolutely in love with the frame in Brittany Blues - something similar in the shiny metal on the stalks.

An overlay of copper stitching in swirls all over the page.

[sandygb]

I think the flower looks like a straw flower and the leaves are perfect.


Yep....That was the name I was trying to think of......Straw Flowers! That is what they look like to me too.

[honeymoon]

How about a paper fastener/brad - but the backside - with the splits coming through the hole and opening out - would be cool to hold the wire to the page.

[Lauren]

I would love to see an airy/sheer copperish ribbon -- or even a widely open woven ribbon to compliment the kit.

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmecrops/gimmekits/gimme18_10.jpg

2 more pieces to go

Love the bow and ribbon.

Maybe a wooden frame for the whole page or wooden photo corners - a bit like the circle frame.

Quite like a gold flower like the colour of the beads to go with the straw flower.

[sandygb]

Hmmm. I love those little beads on the wire mesh. Could we have some matching beaded chains to hang from the ribbon or wire mesh....

[sandygb]

Oh, just saw Fiona's suggestion for a another flower. What a splendid idea. I would love a matching flower in the color of the circle frame.

[pinky7]

Oh, This is going to be fabulous!!

What about something to journal on? BetsyFru had an idea:
A creamy note card that has just some 'echoes' of the leaves embossed on it, maybe?

[Impy]

Hmm... how about some stitching? :D

[doda]

Stitches and/or a complementary grosgrain/twill ribbon to make it a little masculine, too. :)

One more thing remaining

[sandygb]

So glad you did the coordinating flower!!! Beautiful. This is going to be a beautiful kit to use!

[Betsyfru]

Bringing this one back again - please- ???

A creamy note card that has just some 'echoes' of the leaves embossed on it, maybe?

[Tallie]

All I can say is WOW -- what a team we all make -- and what a great designer Lauren is!!!

[Tallie]

Bringing this one back again - please- ???
I agree, we need something for journalizing and this would be perfect.

[carolat]

Cream Twill ribbon would look great with this, I'm thinking folded and stitched down, with some stitching that goes over the edge

Bringing this one back because i really think some twill ribbon would look good here!

[doda]

I agree with Carolat, Stitches and twill ribbon would be great!

[Betsyfru]

We have ribbon, but we don't have anything to journal on....How about it, Lauren, a creamy note card with 'echoes' of the leaves embossed on it???

[MarsOlson]

wooden button

[Tallie]

A square wooden frame like the round wooden frame....or a set of square wooden frames...or a trio of wooden frames. This kit will be a MUST have kit.

[sueya]

How about a frayed canvas journalling mat?

[crouch79]

Maybe and old paper journaling element.

[pinky7]

Sandy, I thought of Caramel for days now! I wasn't until yesterday a thought of the "Kisses" part. Then I went out and got my new Prius (YES, I am green now!) and when we got back there were two pages of stuff! I was just dying until I got to the end! I thought, "Two pages! Lauren will have already picked a name, and this time I have a good one!" So, now, where is Lauren?!

[Tallie]

Congratulations on your Prius -- we've had a Prius for a year this month -- and love it, especially at the gas pump!!!

[pinky7]

Thank you, Tallie! I HAD to get out of my Sequoia, although I loved that car. But it only just me and 1 son traveling any more so I felt guilty guzzling up so much gas. My other two boys are driving and my dh has an Excursion if we need to go somewhere together!

How about a Caramel Macchiato?? YUM!

ROTF.....I loved Pinky's suggestion of Caramel Kisses for the last kit name.....and as I was looking through the fall kits on sale tonight, I found Lauren already had a kit named Caramel Kisses.......and I have it!!!! How funny is that. It must have been a posting bonus because I have no recollection of it and it's beautiful!!!
