GImme a clue - silver anniversary edition!!!!!!!!!!- number 25

[Lauren]

look at that - number 25!!

[JenniferG]

Wow! Of course it MUST be a silver kit!

[Sharon1313]

Well then... how about a lovely kit in shades of silver, black and in between?

[JenniferG]

Here's my suggestion/submission:

[Corgi Lover]

Oh lovely idea! I love them both! :)

[Tallie]

Great idea - to have a Silver Anniversary Edition in silver tones - love it. Can't wait to see what develops.

[Lauren]

Id love to see some more silver oriented ideas - keep em coming !!

[dawn-in-nz]

Swatch #1
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/6607/silver1.jpg

[Sharon1313]

Well, here's something a little different... this photo shows silver and turquoise jewelry made from the rare Dry Creek White Turquoise, which apparently forms when there are no heavy metals present (blue turquoise comes from copper, green from iron). The Navajo buy this white turquoise from the Shoshone Indians and make it into jewelry, but it's rare. I thought the pale blues with the silver might be really pretty. (and now you know more about turquoise than you need to! ;) )

Swatch #2

[doda]

Yay for the 25th! I like all the ideas so far!

[dawn-in-nz]

Swatch #3 - a Pistachio tree!

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/6607/pistachio.jpg

[dawn-in-nz]

I know we've just done a brown one but I really love those colours in Jennifer's Silver Bells swatch.

[scamptx]

I love the silver glitter numbers on that candle

[mariafer]

I didn't get to add schemes last time so here are some new ones from me... With silver but not necessarily 25...

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/500/Silver-Bells-color-swatch-f.jpg (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=292176)

Ok lets go with this one!!!- Very elegant looking and very suitable for a 25th edition

[mariafer]

One more...

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3239/3095256951_629cdb86c7.jpg?v=0

I don't think I really captured the colors of what I wanted but what I would love is a monochromatic silver kit... with lots of blue and brown and purple silvers matted and speckled and shiny and just tons of silver...

[mariafer]

A bit too late... oh well... next time :) Love the colors picked

[MurlieMac]

Tan or darker brown paper with silver glitter swirls.
Matte silver paper

[Lauren]

Tan or darker brown paper with silver glitter swirls.
Matte silver paper

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/Gimme25_1.jpg

[janetklm]

Dark brown/Grey/Silver striped bg.; different width, not square stripes, but a bit slithering.

[MurlieMac]

Perfect!

Now how about a grungy silver matte paper or
white paper with silver and brown splatters or
white or silver paper with a thin faded brown pattern

[JenniferG]

YAY!! Doing happy dance! you picked mine! (so many great swatches, really).

And that first background is absolutely gorgeous!

How bout a silverish bg with stripes (with a bit of bling in it, like the last striped bg in the Gimmie A Clue 24)

or a creme colored bg with silver bells on it and texture of some sort

[dawn-in-nz]

Striped with all the colours but the stripes being different widths, some very narrow with a couple of wider ones interspersed - with a silver sparkle look.

[Lauren]

Dark brown/Grey/Silver striped bg.; different width, not square stripes, but a bit slithering.

LOL - Im trying to visualise a slithering stripe!!

[MurlieMac]

This might be a stupid question but, how do you make color swatches? I would like to be prepared for the next round. I have PS CS3

Thanks!

Muriel

[Lauren]

basically you just grab a picture - make a selection below it or to the right or left of it and use your colour picker to choose some colours from it and fill the selection - and repeat that process with 3 or 4 other colours

[Lauren]

Perfect!

Now how about a grungy silver matte paper or


http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/Gimme25_2.jpg

[JenniferG]

gorgeous lauren!

[Sharon1313]

Yes, definitely wanting stripes... how about a textured pale gray field with black stripes and some slim silver thread stripes woven in?

[Corgi Lover]

How about:

white with tiny polk-a-dots of the different brown/silver hues. grunged up

Light colored with darker old world writing grunged up

[pinky7]

Wow! You close your eyes for a minute and you guys get well under way to edition 25!

I would like some lacy design over another color. I will let you chose the colors.

[Marriedin79]

How about wide-striped paper with alternating matte and shiny stripes? Sort of like wallpaper like this, except using the same color for both stripes:
http://homescape.honoluluadvertiser.com/april05/images/4b_b.jpg

[sandygb]

Ooo, Love that striped paper above - also love the polka dot idea suggested by Beth. Maybe a very pale BG with small silver polka dots

[sandygb]

How about a darker brownish satin with a silver edge

[Roberta T]

Lauren, I love watching you build a kit. No suggestions, just wowee, it's looking just uber wonderful so far!

[Lauren]

How about:

white with tiny polk-a-dots of the different brown/silver hues. grunged up




well kinda........http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/Gimme25_3.jpg

[sandygb]

Wonderful papers!

[jemtred]

This is looking so great. I am really feetlng a lilac - maybe cloudy or crumpled? Just a hint of a texture.

[pinky7]

how about an embossed flower design?

[Corgi Lover]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO - fabulous!!!!

lets see... how about a silverish paper with brush strokes painted over it in different shades

a paper with old world writing

[LinJ]

Just LOVE Glittery lately ! Gorgeous paper -
How about a paper with sparkle edges

[LinJ]

ok - maybe i'm late for the papers ...
How about a frame of sparkles !

[Dani B]

I would love to see a satin rose with dewdrops in the same colors as that background paper that has the glittery swirls on it.

Maybe a background paper with muted soft and blended roses in it too.

[Sharon1313]

Very pretty, love the sparklie stuff... still like the idea of a bold stripe somewhere... maybe in a bow or ribbon?

[pinky7]

ok - maybe i'm late for the papers ...
How about a frame of sparkles !

No, we need one more paper. We have 4 papers then we move on to elements and we have 8 elements, then a name!

[Lauren]

How about wide-striped paper with alternating matte and shiny stripes? Sort of like wallpaper like this, except using the same color for both stripes:
http://homescape.honoluluadvertiser.com/april05/images/4b_b.jpg

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/Gimme25_4.jpg

[JenniferG]

gorgeous papers Lauren! i'm loving how this is coming along

how about a frame with some bling...not the whole frame, but part of it...maybe a ribbon frame with bling on the ribbon? KWIM?

[LinJ]

Ooooooo - lovin these papers!
How about a scrolly 'photo' holder - like the ones used for holding plates ( sorry if photo big ) .....

http://lh3.ggpht.com/_N1QQ5uR-Wik/SIMtETVGNLI/AAAAAAAAAC0/X83XqiZ6WJo/Picture+053.jpg

[janetklm]

I would love to see a, somewhat antique, heart shaped frame.

[MurlieMac]

The papers turned out gorgeous Lauren!

How about a delicate filligree border and/or frame with some bling on it
or
a swirl embellishment like the swirl that's in the first paper
or
an engraved silver border and/or frame with a light antiquing on it

[MurlieMac]

How about an ovel frame, just for something a little different.

[sandygb]

Hmm....I didn't see anyone ask for those silver bells like on the inspiration photo....PLEASE!

[Tallie]

Lovely, lovely papers, Lauren - reminds me of the materials in the exclusive holiday dress shops. Would like to see a diamond (glitz) embossed, twisted ribbon in a greyish - plum shade.

[mariafer]

Don't have time to look at all the suggestions but I do think this kit needs a bow! Lovely papers and colors.

[happybeingamom]

I would love to see a border similar to the one in your Fleur de Provence kit either in brushed silver, hammered silver with some crystals on it. I love those borders but would like to see them in a different type of metal with a modern flair to it

[sueya]

I'd like to see a sheer brown ribbon and bow with silver edges.
Also would like to see a circular frame made of silver round beads to go with the silver dotted paper.

[Tina]

Hmm....I didn't see anyone ask for those silver bells like on the inspiration photo....PLEASE!


Good idea, Sandy!

[JenniferG]

i was hoping to get some silver bells, too!

[minnmom79]

a brushed silver flower with a little bling in the center

something with diamonds and black pearls

[doda]

Beautiful papers!

[shawsi]

Thank you for not using grunge on this one. It is much too elegant. I see filligree. Maybe a fancy bookplate?

Could the bells be on a dangly thingy with an elegant little chain?

Lauren, I missed all of the paper suggestions, but what you have done has been simply gorgeous. I am definitely getting this one. Silver elegance at its finest.

[Muma]

What about a photo holder similar to a place card holder like this

http://www.hotref.com/category/22/Silver-Heart-Shaped-Place-Card-Holders_2233_r.jpg

maybe with an elegant filigree heart and a ribbon wrapped around the stem with a bow.

Or if you want to stay with a bell theme from the colour swatch idea what about something similar to this ... I'm trying to think of a different way to hold a photo ....

http://www.icestandard.org/files/productsimages/CA/5525PC.jpg

Just found this idea as well ... I'm gonna stop looking LOL
http://threecheers.com.au/images/silver-bell-placecard_LRG.jpg

[Muma]

oh and the papers are gorgeous.

[Lauren]

Hmm....I didn't see anyone ask for those silver bells like on the inspiration photo....PLEASE!

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/Gimme25_5.jpg

[sandygb]

YAY!!! Love those bells and perfect for this kit!

[jemtred]

Looking fabulous. How about the filigree edge in silver/pewter colours? Really fancy and swirly - even over the top?

[mariafer]

I am still hoping for a bow. Maybe a silver or white sheer with no edging on it, very delicate that we could decide to attach to the bells if we so wished too...

[LinJ]

http://www.villadec.com/images/wallart/YF-2165-PH.jpgHere is another example of a plate holder ( photo ) - would like to see something like this...http://www.villadec.com/images/wallart/YF-2165-PH.jpg

[jemtred]

Forgot to say I think the "photo holders" are a great idea. Something a little different but still very elegant.

[MurlieMac]

I love the bells.
White or clear really sparkley crystals in assorted shapes(tear drop, marquis, square, etc)

[Lauren]

Looking fabulous. How about the filigree edge in silver/pewter colours? Really fancy and swirly - even over the top?

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/Gimme25_6.jpg

[JenniferG]

oh gorgeous Lauren!!!

how bout a sparkly overlay, covering the whole page...not an edge

[Scrapping4Him]

Absolutely gorgeous border Lauren! Not sure if this is going the route of a wedding kit but the design of the bottom corners of your border made me think of a bride standing and holding her bouquet. What about a bride and groom made out of the same pewter metal, in the all familiar pose used as a cake topper (top hat and all). Or perhaps a bouquet of flowers out of this pewter metal.

[mariafer]

I love the rim of the bells so how about a metal frame in that rim. great kit! I love it.

[janetklm]

I think a satin ribbon would be nice (brown with a touch of silver glitter) and an oval frame in the filigree style.
Love this kit so far!!!

[Roberta T]

Oh Lauren how do you always outdo yourself??? This just takes my breath away it's so beautiful!

[sandygb]

Definitely gorgeous!!! Love that fancy border. I second the idea for an all-over silvery glitter overlay.

[shawsi]

OK...very nice.

Could we have fairy dust including all of the colors.

Maybe some tiny little roses in the deepest plum color, which could also be considered sort of a brown....maybe with silver leaves.

Something in the blue with a frosted look to it would be pretty too. Maybe ribbon could be in that color, or some sort of trim.

[Marriedin79]

Yay! You took my suggestion and made it even better! Love the kit so far. Can't wait to put it into my shopping cart!

[Lauren]

What about a photo holder similar to a place card holder like this



http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/Gimme25_7.jpg

[minnmom79]

flowers that look like they are dried or like a corsage- in the darkest gray and browns- with bit of bling

a placecard that you can journal on

[Sharon1313]

Oh that's very cool! I love it when there's an element that I haven't really seen before... and that frame holder is very clever. This kit is absolutely gorgeous!

I always appreciate a journaling block. What about a white card with a raised silver border and a bow tied through two holes in the top?

[shawsi]

This is just amazing. I am so in awe of your ability.

[sandygb]

WOW! Love that frame holder. How unique!!!!

[dawn-in-nz]

A bunch of trailing small white roses with small leaves in silver like the ones in Yuletide Harmonies.

[jemtred]

Oh WOW look what happens when I go to sleep! That swirly border was EXACTLY what I had in mind. Do you read minds from that far away??? And the phot holder is so perfect. Have no idea what else to suggest so I second the idea of flowers - maybe white with silver or the browny colour with a pale purple (lilac) tone? And of course the glitter!

[sueya]

I would like to see a group of silver charms hanging down like the hearts and stars in the Peppermint Frost kit. I think silver hearts,flowers and horseshoes would look good with this.

[doda]

How about an acrylic mat with silver glitter edges and silver swirls or straight silver lines inside?

:think: I was just noticing are there five papers now or did the brown one with sparkly circles get changed?

[LinJ]

Love the photo holder! Thanks ;-)
How about something round ...... a frame or flower ....
or a spray of flowers ??

[sandygb]

:think: I was just noticing are there five papers now or did the brown one with sparkly circles get changed?

You're right Susan. I didn't notice that. It looks like a mini-stripe version. I wonder if that is just a fluke? Or maybe it's a contest to see who noticed first? :lol:

[Corgi Lover]

A flower is most needed in this kit :) White with edged silver

or a cascade of petals

some flowers like in your Les Fleurs De La Mère only in the silver and brown hues

[Corgi Lover]

Folded stitched lace

stitched journaling tags

silver film strip

[Corgi Lover]

scroll of sheet music (like a piece of paper rolled up and tied with a ribbon

silver corner mesh (comes up the left side 3" and across the page almost 10" ripped or messy diagonal edge)

Silver staple cluster

[Lauren]

You're right Susan. I didn't notice that. It looks like a mini-stripe version. I wonder if that is just a fluke? Or maybe it's a contest to see who noticed first? :lol:

Or maybe Im just a dork who was in too much of a hurry when i posted the preview ( I often make multiple versions of thigns before i decide which I like the best!!!)

I will come back and do another piece or 2 later today but right now i have a date with Santa to choose some gifts for Hannah !!

[doda]

You're right Susan. I didn't notice that. It looks like a mini-stripe version. I wonder if that is just a fluke? Or maybe it's a contest to see who noticed first? :lol:

I say it's a contest! YAY I won!

Wow Lauren, a date with Santa huh? Maybe I need one of those, cause I haven't even started Christmas shopping!

[pinky7]

I can't believe I didn't check in here yesterday!

I agree with the others, this needs a ribbon and a bow! They should match the ribbon on the bells.

And this needs a spray of beads, they could be different than your other sprays. You could make a couple of these:
http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff17/pinky076/for-lauren-1.jpg

[Lauren]

A bunch of trailing small white roses with small leaves in silver like the ones in Yuletide Harmonies.

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/Gimme25_8.jpg

Well not trailing but I did use leaves similar to Yuletide and Jewelled frost - and a glitter edged white flower ( its very fine glitter but its there!!)

[sandygb]

Beautiful! How about a double row of pearls that emulates a ribbon. The pearls could alternate with diamonds in each string.

[JenniferG]

Beautiful Lauren! This needs to get in the store SOON so I can buy it!!!! It's absolutely gorgeous!

[JenniferG]

How about a splash of pearls and diamonds, like they were spilled out of a necklace sort of thing....

[doda]

Beautiful!!! I second or third the diamonds and pearls idea.

[honeymoon]

Cut crystal drop on a silver cord. Maybe a gathering of little ones.

[janetklm]

Still thinking about a satin ribbon (or 2) with a few diamonds or a little glitter on it.

[dawn-in-nz]

Just beautiful Lauren, perfect in fact. I want something in that gorgeous pinky brown colour but I can't think what yet.

[dawn-in-nz]

How about a mat of very fine plain netting, gossamer like, any colour.

[Muma]

OH wow Lauren .... this is looking gorgeous ...... love what you did with the frames and the place card holder idea, that's exactly what I had in mind. Such a pretty kit so far and adore that filigree edging.

[LinJ]

Love the string of pearls suggestion. A pretty, random fall of pearls !

[pinky7]

Oh, I love the circular things, so how about a circle of pearls like you make the brad circles.

[shawsi]

Could we have an oval either out of filigree or pearls? Either one would be beautiful. The new brown pearls are trendy right now, maybe something with them that would match the dark color in your kit.

[Lauren]

Love the string of pearls suggestion. A pretty, random fall of pearls !

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/Gimme25_9.jpg

[LinJ]

very pretty lauren !! pearls and gems.... nice ;-)
How about heart?

[Muma]

very pretty lauren !! pearls and gems.... nice ;-)
How about heart?

I was wondering about including a heart last night.

[sandygb]

Beautiful pearl and diamond dangles!!! I love the heart idea too. How about making it a glitter heart....

[janetklm]

silver glitter heart with a double twisted satin ribbon in the brown colour as was used for the dark pearl

[happybeingamom]

Since this is a wedding kit

How about for journaling something that looks like card stock of a wedding invitation

Also a WA in the same metal as the border that says Forever, Love, Cherish (could be all of the words or one) in the same finish as the border with hearts and scroll around it.

Or for a different WA an old Jewish quote referring to spouses "I am to my beloved
as my beloved is to me"

[pinky7]

This needs a ribbon, please.

[Lauren]

Also a WA in the same metal as the border that says Forever, Love, Cherish (could be all of the words or one) in the same finish as the border with hearts and scroll around it.



http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/Gimme25_10.jpg

[MurlieMac]

The kit is looking gorgeous. Wonderful job Lauren! I'm already working on ideas for another page for the DD's Wedding Book. I can't wait to get this kit!!!!

I think I agree that a ribbon would be nice. How 'bout a tan/brownish ribbon(the same color as the darker pearl) with a silver glitter edge

or (I think someone already mentioned this) silver ribbon that matches the ribbon on the bell only with some glitter or bling on it

[shawsi]

This is simply glamorous. I like the idea of a heart too. A glitter heart would be wonderful, or perhaps a crystal one.

[sandygb]

Absolutely stunning!!!!

[dawn-in-nz]

Gasp, I've died and gone to heaven.

[LinJ]

Would also like a ribbon - Also think about 25th anniversary and a silver tray - so maybe something for journaling ... an oval shape?

[happybeingamom]

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/Gimme25_10.jpg

:love3: it

Thanks

[pinky7]

White ribbon, just like on the bells, with a silver glittery edge, tied in a knot with the ends hanging down and twirled, please. And I love the idea of a heart with glittery edges!

[Lauren]

Don't have time to look at all the suggestions but I do think this kit needs a bow! Lovely papers and colors.

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/Gimme25_11.jpg

[dawn-in-nz]

A hanging heart with a little silver filigree circle through it that we can hang from one of the silver scrolls - maybe for journalling - or not.

[janetklm]

OMG! This is awesome!!!!!
Simply "Silver Bells" would be a nice title or "Our Anniversary"

[LindaNPa]

This is beautiful. Maybe some Baby Breath.

[sandygb]

Love Dawn's idea of the heart shaped tag. How about including a fancy silver and jeweled hook at the top to hang it from.

[Santa Claus]

Looks like Lauren has been a very good girl.

[Lauren]

Lauren is usually a good girl but sometimes shes very naughty!!!

[Lauren]

A hanging heart with a little silver filigree circle through it that we can hang from one of the silver scrolls - maybe for journalling - or not.

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/Gimme25_12.jpg


We need a name now

[ferretmom]

Silver bells

[JenniferG]

Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!

How about Mocha Cream, in keeping with the cream theme (like peppermint cream)?

[Lauren]

Silver bells

I think it just has to be Silver Bells - that was easy

[sandygb]

Mocha Frost

[sandygb]

LOL. Silver Bells was the very first name on the inspiration photo. Perfect and gorgeous!!!

[Leea]

Wow! This is a beautiful kit Lauren :) I love silver bells...and all the sparkle in this kit :)
Leea

[JenniferG]

LOL Lauren! I thought it would be a bit too crass for me to suggest the same name that I named the swatch. But it works, right?! Can't wait to see it in the store!!!!! I WANT IT!

[Lauren]
