[quanita]

Are we ready to get super Christmassy yet?

Here is one I have, I got it from a Target catalogue, but I can't find the original page, it was beach acrylic picnic ware and I thought it could be a down under Christmas, or a not so white Christmas

Here's one from me.

Dawn you really bring wonderful colour schemes, Have a real eye for Colour :)

[quanita]

Here is another from me

[Lauren]

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/1945/colours-gimme2.jpg



I love Dawns soft green and blues but I really like this one too - so lets try this one this time

[quanita]

erm I have watched before but do you normally choose a theme too or does it just evolve from the colours?

I think a patterned (maybe harlequin?) embossed distressed cream over the blue green colour would be nice for a background

[sueya]

I'd like to see a dark brown paper with thin stripes in the other colours
Also a pale green and cream marbled paper

[Donut]

I can see a delicate leaf pattern with the green and maybe the cream colour, like the sort of soft delicate leaf patterns you see on old china tea sets.

[Corgi Lover]

Dark brown folded, creased cracked etc etc :)

teal color modeled with darker shades and lighter shades with a crystal/frosty pattern over it

dk brown with teal large areas all different spots on the paper blending together where they meet with lots of texture on top

[mariafer]

I love these colors!

How about a cream backgrd with delicate swirly stems with tiny leaves on the end in the teal. (and a few in the gray)

A dotted backgrd in the teal with brown.

A teal background with brushed on rubbed of dark brown "glaze" like what you would find in a foe finished wall. Maybe a plaster type texture.

[AmieHiggs]

I'm so glad i found this thread I've been reading past gimmes it looks so much fun I'm thinking of the blue green color background with white feathers or paisley design soft and delicate.

[Lauren]

I can see a delicate leaf pattern with the green and maybe the cream colour, like the sort of soft delicate leaf patterns you see on old china tea sets.

Well I tried this pattern ( which is probably nothing like you were thinking of ) in the cream and tealy colour but I liked it way better on the brown
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/Gimme24_1.jpg

[MarsOlson]

I love Dawns soft green and blues but I really like this one too - so lets try this one this time

I was happy to get here soon enough to submit some colours for a change. I love the one you chose and the first background is awesome.

[Muma]

Love the colour scheme ..... yep I'm going with a lighter paper again.
What about a cream base/minty green batik style paper??

[Donut]

Thats gorgeous Lauren!! I LOVE it in the brown!!

[sandygb]

I would love a mostly solid pale blue-green with a soft texture and a faint bit of the same pattern of the first paper in one corner, then an inked edge on the paper.

[LinJ]

Love the greens and browns !! Would like to see a green tone paper - perhaps with some turned/folded corners or edges ...

[janetklm]

Cream, tealy, green striped background (different width)

[mariafer]

I love these colors!
A dotted backgrd in the teal with brown.

A teal background with brushed on rubbed of dark brown "glaze" like what you would find in a foe finished wall. Maybe a plaster type texture.

I still like these ideas... especially the solid teal with brown glaze... so I am moving it forward...

[pinky7]

erm I have watched before but do you normally choose a theme too or does it just evolve from the colours?

I think a patterned (maybe harlequin?) embossed distressed cream over the blue green colour would be nice for a background

Just the colors, Q. Sometimes we have an inspiration photo to go with the colors, but the theme comes as we move along.

Man I missed the last one altogether! I better keep up!

I would like you to use the middle color and have dots of the lighter two colors on it. Not with any pattern to it though!

[jemtred]

I really like the idea of a lighter colour to balance the lovely dark brown. Maybe the cream (or beige?) but quite plain just with a bit of texture (parchment like) or even with burnt edges. Something to offset the highly patterened 1st paper.

[MarsOlson]

the creamy or golden colour in an almost solid background but with a lot of canvas type texture, maybe grungey/inky sort of edge. something suitable for blending. I like the paper texture of the first background.

[MarsOlson]

oops should have read first, sounds like similar bgs were already suggested. :)

[dawn-in-nz]

I love these colours Mars. Not too sure about the first paper though, it's going to have to grown on me I reckon!

[jemtred]

oops should have read first, sounds like similar bgs were already suggested. :)

Hey...Great minds think alike!!
I am getting into texture, blending and am really loving overlays so a blendable BG sounds perfect.

[Lauren]

Dark brown folded, creased cracked etc etc :)

[AmieHiggs]

Really lovely papers lauren i think we need a light paper next :lol:

[Lauren]

I would love a mostly solid pale blue-green with a soft texture and a faint bit of the same pattern of the first paper in one corner, .

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/Gimme24_3.jpg

[webfrau]

Yummy colour scheme!
How about a striped paper - all the colours - varying widths?

[shawsi]

I see something silver. Not necessarily bling, but nice silver, like a watch fob, or a letter opener. It would be nice to have something like a name plate thing...kind of like what your blog blinkie is on, Lauren.

[sueya]

I'd like to see a beige paper with a linen texture, maybe with small dots in the dark brown.

[Corgi Lover]

This is breathtaking! I love the colors and the papers are GORGEOUS!

[Donut]

Love the papers and the creased look!

[sandygb]

Oh what gorgeous papers. This kit is developing beautifully!

[sandygb]

I agree with Webfrau's request for stripes. I would love a brown and blue-green pinstripe with a sparkle to it like you have done on some of the striped papers in other kits.

[shawsi]

Maybe a rectangular gray or silver doily or lace, so that a photo or text can be placed in the middle of it?

[sandygb]

Maybe a rectangular gray or silver doily or lace, so that a photo or text can be placed in the middle of it?

Shawsi - There is one more paper to go before Lauren starts on the other kit elements. She always does 4 papers, then she starts on the other elements. :)

[shawsi]

Ok. Sorry, I didn't know.

[Donut]

Ooh, I third the request for the striped paper! :)

[mariafer]

I am still going to ask for a mostly teal with brown added for contrast and color like glazed on. Something darker than the teal and cream paper.

I love the teal color so I would also love a light brown paper with teal swirls. (or cream paper with teal leaves and swirls)

Also I am loving your paper that are torn or rumbled at the edges so anything with that would be appreciated.

As for lines I would love some lines but instead of all the colors just maybe the 3rd and 4th or maybe even just a tone on tone lined paper.

[jemtred]

I love the creased papers - they look so great. I have to admit I'm not feeling the stripe but I'm a new girl here too! How about a faded(?) spot - not obvious or regular just random and a bit cloudy. Hope that makes sense to you because I am not sure it does to me...

Shawsi - all of our blinkies looked great earlier today when I took a peak so I dont think its us as they have gone again!

[shawsi]

How about gray with a bit of a crinkle, or embossing. Lighter in color maybe. Something with some texture to it.

[pinky7]

Yeah, I am not feeling the stripe either, unless it is a subtle stripe. The flowers are so lovely, we don't want to overpower them with a stripe I say subtle stripe or dots in the lightest two colors or an embossed design!

[sandygb]

My idea of the stripe was along the lines of the white paper with wavy silver lines in:

Jeweled Frost (http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=9307.html)

or the Sparkle Stripe in:

December Frost (http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=9286)

I was thinking of a narrow brown stripe alternating with narrow blue-green sparkley stripe.

[honeymoon]

Or maybe the striped paper could actually be a paper with ribbons sewn down it in stripes, or just stitched stripes.

[sandygb]

Or even striped stitches that are done in heavily metallic thread. LOL.

[JenniferG]

i can tell already that this is going to have to go into my cart once it's in the store
I love the colors
makes me think of the girlscout mint cookies

how about a minty color with wavy fabric displacement map...but a sort of soft denim/fabric texture...with either a paisley pattern or no pattern...

[JenniferG]

Or maybe the striped paper could actually be a paper with ribbons sewn down it in stripes, or just stitched stripes.

wonderful idea!!! I love it!

[mariafer]

I am loving all these stripes ideas. Can't wait to see what Lauren actually does. I bet it will be fabulous (even if it isn't stripes).

[MarsOlson]

loving the papers so far!!

[Muma]

These papers are wonderful and that colour scheme is so yummy .... its reminding me of dark chocolate and mint ice-cream

[Lauren]

[janetklm]

Wow! Lovely bg's!!!
I'd love to see a frame (maybe a circle shaped one) using the same "leave" pattern from the first background.

[Kathleen]

LOVE the color palette! I've been away for Thanksgiving, and sort of caught up.

How about ...

A distressed 6-pane frame, like an old window with speckled and peeling paint (mostly white) that could be used either for separate photos, or one main photo behind multiple panes. The outside of the frame being thicker than "mullions" separating it.

Since the last couple Gimme A Clue kits have had a spray of jewels (one blue, and one red), how about a scatter of green jewels

A brown toned paper flower, with flecks of green and maybe even gold

[happybeingamom]

enamel flowers on a stem in the colors of light green, cream and off black,

I would love to see a brooch with a black pearl

[Raphne]

mmmmm, pretty!

I'd like to see a leafy filagree edge, maybe in the gold from the stripe

[tigerjoscraps]

How about a chipboard element in the off white color with distressed touches of the mint green and chocolate brown? Maybe a swirl or leaf cluster. With small jewels/sparklies on it.

[sandygb]

Love that stripe. It's very uncomplicated, yet formal at the same time. Beautiful!

[LinJ]

Lovely colors .... love the papers !
How about a candlestick? Golden/verdigris

[sandygb]

How about a hinged double oval frame that is opened. Hope that makes sense - 2 fancy gold metallic oval frames that are either hinged together in the center, or connected by a wrapped ribbon with tails.

[shawsi]

I see something silver. Not necessarily bling, but nice silver, like a watch fob, or a letter opener. It would be nice to have something like a name plate thing...kind of like what your blog blinkie is on, Lauren.

[Corgi Lover]

I would love an 'old' dk brown leather book that is open so you can journal in it. The pages are a bit worn and a corner folded or torn.

A ribbon/fiber that has multiple 'strands' that come together in one spot either with a slide or a knot

[Corgi Lover]

Teal rope brocade tie thingy (kinda like the metal hitches that lots of boiled woold jackets have only done in rope) does this make any sense?

[Corgi Lover]

A long tag that is about 4" by 1.5" with sheer ribbons coming off the top that extend the length or height of the page

[jemtred]

Some fancy edging/overlay maybe in the leaf or feathery? In the goldy colour from the stripe paper - I really feel the need for edging...

[pinky7]

The papers are gorgeous! Now, how about a ribbon tied in a knot with the ends dangling in the lightest color of the stripe paper, with some beads or charms on the ends on the ribbon.

[pinky7]

Or, I suggested this a while back, Just change the color of the ribbon

http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff17/pinky076/Ribbon.jpg

[MarsOlson]

vertical vine that looks wrapped/curled around a hanging cream ribbon

[Lauren]

LOVE the color palette! I've been away for Thanksgiving, and sort of caught up.

How about ...

A distressed 6-pane frame, like an old window with speckled and peeling paint (mostly white) that could be used either for separate photos, or one main photo behind multiple panes. The outside of the frame being thicker than "mullions" separating it.



Well its not really like a window but hope this is ok http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/Gimme24_5.jpg

[Kathleen]

Love the frame! The bit of bend and the shadow are cool!

Still hoping for the next color of scattered jewels.

[Donut]

This is coming together so well! Love the frame and stripe paper!

[sueya]

I'd like to see a sheer green ribbon with a gold edge. I think it would look good if the ribbon was twisted. A matching bow would be good.

[honeymoon]

A vellum corner pocket, embossed with the floral pattern. That you could either slip the whole page corner into, or just the frame, or some journalling.

A brown flower like the blue one in Jeweled Frost, with gold glitter on the edge.

A spray of the little flowers on the paper with gold stems and the greeny colour petals.

A little metal butterfly with little crystals around the wings.

[webfrau]

A spray of leaves - either metal or "realistic" like the pattern in the paper.

[LinJ]

Some coordinating pearls accents/elements with swirly wire

[shawsi]

Do you include overlays sometimes? I love the scattered tiny little jewels that would outline the layout. I have used a lacy stip on one of my page kits to death. I would love to have a lace ribbon strip and even an embroidered piece, maybe with the same design. You just can't get too many of those.

[dawn-in-nz]

I keep forgetting what the colours are! I was going to say a spray of kowhai flowers to match the flowers in the BG but there aren't really any flower colours in the swatch is there. A spray of flowers like the BG in any colour then, perhaps cream!

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/1945/colours-gimme2.jpg

[Lauren]

[QUOTE=honeymoon;572557]

A brown flower like the blue one in Jeweled Frost, with gold glitter on the edge.

/QUOTE]

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/Gimme24_6.jpg

Its more a silvery glitter but its glittery around the edges

[MarsOlson]

gorgeous flower!
gold fern swirly thing

[honeymoon]

Gorgeous flower.

A delicate horizontal, pewtery (or the same colour as the flower glitter) chain with some turquoise/greeny beads along it.

Maybe even some chain that could be wrapped around the frame with beads hanging on the ends.

[littlekiwi]

Gorgeous flower - I think some blingy beads would look nice in this kit too

[pinky7]

Gorgeous flower!

An swirly wire overlay that is accentuated with the bling in the center of the flower!

[Lauren]

A spray of the little flowers on the paper with gold stems and the greeny colour petals.



http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/Gimme24_7.jpg

[jemtred]

Loving this so far. Can I please second the swirly overlay or edgy thingy. i also really like the sound of the chain with beads. I think both would look really great together.

[honeymoon]

Oh Yes!... Perfect! I'm sure I could fit those in somewhere on my latest layout too.

[sandygb]

I would love something like ribbon to place that flower on. Either a sheer type brownish ribbon similar to the flower with some glitter on it, or a pulled and gathered netting (like a bridal veil) in the same brown/pewtery tones.

[Kathleen]

Notecard for journaling. Kind of the dimensions of 5x3, brown and grungy (kind of like the tones in the flower). Tattered around the edges, with sprinkles of green/cold/copper glitter around the edges.

[newbienfr]

a circular, copper-edged tag - the middle is either filled in with a cream paper or is clear like glass (looks similar in shape to a pocket watch); maybe even have the tag "hanging" from a ribbon of some sort (woven, suede, leather-ish, etc.)

[sueya]

I'd like to see a sheer green ribbon with a gold edge. I think it would look good if the ribbon was twisted. A matching bow would be good.

Now that I've seen the flower I think it would be better if the sheeer ribbon was brown with a silver glittery edge.
I also think a safety pin with brown and green beads would look good or maybe a pearl brooch.

I also like Kathleen's idea of a notecard for journalling with a glittery edge.

[Corgi Lover]

Bringing these forward again! :)

I would love an 'old' dk brown leather book that is open so you can journal in it. The pages are a bit worn and a corner folded or torn.

A ribbon/fiber that has multiple 'strands' that come together in one spot either with a slide or a knot

[Corgi Lover]

Teal rope brocade tie thingy (kinda like the metal hitches that lots of boiled woold jackets have only done in rope) does this make any sense?


A long tag that is about 4" by 1.5" with sheer ribbons coming off the top that extend the length or height of the page

And these :)

**anyone clue me in as to how to quote multiple posts? I clicked on the " button but then what? LOL**

[dawn-in-nz]

**anyone clue me in as to how to quote multiple posts? I clicked on the " button but then what? LOL**

I don't know what the " button is but I think you would need to just cut and paste quotes from previous posts if you want to use more than one in just one post. Like this:-

At the bottom of the first message you want to quote, you press the funny quote button - it has an end quotation and a plus sign, and when you click it, it should change to a red background. You click that button for the various posts you want to quote. On the last post in your list of quotables, you click the regular quote button (it says quote). That should take you to advanced message screen for you to type your message.

So if you are quoting 2 different posts, click the funny quote button for the first post you are quoting, and then click the regular quote button for the second and last post you are quoting.

If you are quoting 3 different posts, click the funny quote button for the first and second posts you are quoting, and then click the regular quote button for the third and last post you are quoting.

Does that make sense?

[sandygb]

Thanks for the QUOTE info. I never even noticed the "+ button....

[JenniferG]

I'd like to see a necklace chain (not straight line, but curvy) in gold or whatever color suits you best.

[moog25]

Glad I didn't miss this one entirely! I would love an edge overlay. I'll try to explain what I envisioned, hope it's not too confusing....gentle swirls (like the multiple stems on the floral motifs on the brown background) in a very fine antigue gold wire with the floral motif in enameled gold in each corner.

[pinky7]

Thanks for the QUOTE info. I never even noticed the "+ button....

I don't seem to have a "+" button! I just copy and paste several different quotes into the same post! Could it be I don't have a "+" button because I have a Mac?

Now, where were we? How about ribbons that look like this:

[Corgi Lover]

Cool! Thanks for the quoting info. I have to try it now! :)

[MarsOlson]

I'm sure someone has already suggested this already but looks like it needs a lovely sheer bow and ribbon

[Lauren]

I'm sure someone has already suggested this already but looks like it needs a lovely sheer bow and ribbon

I tried sheerr and it just didnt have enough oomph for the backgrounds so I went with Satin - sorry Im late today - we had our NZ DSP lunch and then I took Hannah to see High school musical !!
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/Gimme24_8.jpg

[Lauren]

btw I can put a ribbon with this and make it one element if you want

[MarsOlson]

delicious bow with the chocolate sheen. love it!

[sandygb]

I was just about to beg for a ribbon and saw your note. YES...please add a ribbon with it as one element.

[pinky7]

Now that I've seen the flower I think it would be better if the sheeer ribbon was brown with a silver glittery edge.


I would love something like ribbon to place that flower on. Either a sheer type brownish ribbon similar to the flower with some glitter on it, or a pulled and gathered netting (like a bridal veil) in the same brown/pewtery tones.

Lots of people asked for a ribbon! So I think that would be OK. You know, you can do anything you want! LOL! It really is your kit! You just humor us and make us think we are helping!:rofl::lol::rofl: I suggest a ribbon make the ribbon and the bow as 1 element, please!:lol::lol::lol:

[Lauren]

Notecard for journaling. Kind of the dimensions of 5x3, brown and grungy (kind of like the tones in the flower). Tattered around the edges, with sprinkles of green/cold/copper glitter around the edges.

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/Gimme24_9.jpg

[Betsyfru]

Lauren, this is really wonderful!

[sandygb]

Ooo yes...love the ribbon and the notecard

[Kathleen]

The card is perfect!! A few more ideas:

+ A pin with a dangle of beads
+ A really nice folded corner
+ A long rolled tear like the torn background in Venetian Verdigris Page Kit, but just the tear and edges so it can be put anywhere on the page

[sandygb]

How about a strip of scalloped edge satin stitching that goes the entire width of the page. (without drop shadow so we could then put 4 together to form a square border edge for a paper or use a single strip)? Or do as a square page border and we could cut apart to use a single strip. LOL. Either in cream or pale blue-green.

[ferretmom]

Glitter edging overlay. Like the one on the note card.

[JenniferG]

a circle element with beads on it, like the one that's in the flower...or a beaded border kind of zigzagish and wavy...kwim?

[shawsi]

Oh Lauren. I will have to be honest. When you started it I wasn't near as excited as I usually am when you do one, but I have to say that now that you have added so much depth with the elements, it has just popped! I believe this is turning out to be one of my favorites. Right fine work there lady! Beautiful!

[Lauren]

No one asked for this beaded spring - but I wanted to see what it would look like so here it is
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/Gimme24_10.jpg

[JenniferG]

well, i didn't ask for the bead string per se, but I did ask for a bead border or some such thing...but this is MUCH better!

I think a gold sparkley overlay for the edges would wrap this beautiful kit up nicely. Maybe you could sneak some beads into the overlay? I can't wait to either get this or add it to my cart soon!!! Either way, I love it and want it.

My DH and I thought of the same name: Chocolate Mint. Or Mint Chocolate. That's what we think of when we look at it.

[webfrau]

Funny Jennifer I was thinking of chocolates when I saw it and came up with PEPPERMINT CREAM

[sandygb]

I love that spring. I would love one just like it IRL to hang on my tree!

[pinky7]

A couple of staples in the green color

[jemtred]

I 2nd the request for an overlay/edge with a few sparkles and/or beads. Definitely a Choco-mint kit!

[Donut]

Gorgeous Lauren! I love this. Makes me think of Mint Choc Chip Icecream!

[dawn-in-nz]

Some sort of a stud with a little rounded pokey out thing (eye?) to hang the hook on the spring from, maybe with a few beads in it. Hurry up Lauren I want to buy it! :tup:

[honeymoon]

I'm loving this. I can see the spring in a future kit - stretched to hold down a photo of papers on the page, with hooks at either end. Or maybe a set of spring photo corners...

For this kit however...
A larger flower - cream with glitter on the edges and maybe a touch of the mint coming from the middle.
A butterfly with crystal wings.
A jewelled/beaded brad.

[honeymoon]

I know this isn't finished yet... but I may not get back to the internet for the naming process and just wanted to add "Pewter-Mint" as a suggestion for the name.

[Lauren]

How about a strip of scalloped edge satin stitching that goes the entire width of the page. (without drop shadow so we could then put 4 together to form a square border edge for a paper or use a single strip)? Or do as a square page border and we could cut apart to use a single strip. LOL. Either in cream or pale blue-green.

Well wasnt that spring really cool - Im not putting it in this kit though - I just wanted to make one !- will put it in another kit - so back to this one - here is the scalloped edge - I think we have 2 more elements to go

The spring was really cool, and different! Great edge addition.

The last couple posts, Lauren, and I keep looking at it and it seems so complete!

How about 3 or so glass marbles, decent size (an inch?) maybe one with a fern in it, maybe one with just some gold sparkles, maybe one plain.

[sandygb]

YESSSS....That stitched scalloped edge is exactly what I wanted. :hug:

[dawn-in-nz]

Oh yes I like Fiona's idea of a crystal butterfly, perhaps with teeny tiny bits of glitter around the edges of it's wings.

[shawsi]

I really love the scalloped border. Very elegant!

Could there be something sparkly and linear that would dangle down perhaps. Lots of bling.

For a name..Mint Frost?

[pinky7]

I would like to see some more of the bling like in the center of the flower, maybe a brooch or a pin with a charm on it!

One more to go

[janetklm]

Gosh! This turned out beautiful!!!
I love that word "jeweled" that you used for other kits and I think it would be great for this one too, so...Juweled Mint?

[happybeingamom]

How about a glittery heart shaped mat.

[littlekiwi]

a tag where you could put a date maybe in the minty color or cream

[Seagal]

How about another ribbon - sheer, in the minty color with gold threaded edges?

[Corgi Lover]

Stitched ribbon edge

[shawsi]

Love those danglies! A silver bookplate or something to write a Title on.

[dawn-in-nz]

A chocolate sitting in a little mint coloured fluted paper cup.
Or a Corinthian.

Bringing this forward again:

a circular, copper-edged tag - the middle is either filled in with a cream paper or is clear like glass (looks similar in shape to a pocket watch); maybe even have the tag "hanging" from a ribbon of some sort (woven, suede, leather-ish, etc.)


What about the name Refreshingly Sweet?

[pinky7]

Hey! Mine didn't post! I thought I had it in here! I think an ornate bookplate would make a nice addition!

And I like the name of Mint Frost ... or Frosted Mint....or Frosted Jewel-ip!

[sueya]

I also think a safety pin with brown and green beads would look good or maybe a pearl brooch.



Just bringing this forward again.
Also I think a beaded spiral like the one in your Venetian Verdigris kit would look good with brown and pale green beads.

Ok its not a spiral or even close - I tried but I think a spray looks better here - so now we need a name - there are lots of suggestions of " frost" names but this doesnt look like a frosty kit to me - - it does look minty though so keep up the suggestions
