[jemtred]

I am rubbish at this stage - I prefer the next bit but want to get the notifications so here I am ready to play for another week. I woke up wondering when this one would start but didn't expect it so soon!

I know for a second when I found them online I thought maybe I wanted another baby girl.. but it was just for a second. :lol:

Great color choices this time. Can't wait to see what you pick, Lauren.

[happybeingamom]

Good choices here!

The shoes were what nailed it!!

[janetklm]

Beautiful shoes ....and colors.
Makes me think of a girly, retro style kit.
-Love the flowers on the shoes, maybe a brown background with flowers
kinda like those on the shoes?
-A brown background with different size circle's in the pink colors and the green?

[happybeingamom]

A background with funky flowers

stripes of the colors but give it a grungy rumpelish look.

[Dani B]

I background made just like the shoes if that is possible.

Ohh maybe a whole background with tiny shoes ?

The green in a solid textured pattern.

[Corgi Lover]

Ahhhhhhhhhh - I just love the shoes!

I think the shoes would make a great background paper!

Light green - worn, torn, stacked, creased or with tears and cardboard.

[mariafer]

I have an embossing folder for my cuttlebug that reminds me of those precious shoes but instead of having a flower in all of the circles some are blank and some have hearts. I think that would be very cute also.

[minnmom79]

a background with little buttons on it

background with stripes with some very small flowers

[newbienfr]

I LOVE those shoes. If only they had them here in France for my dd.

I like the idea of the flower/circle pattern for a background paper.

[newbienfr]

Oh... just thought of another.

Light green background with a light pink grunge look to it.

[honeymoon]

Dark colour with raised stripes of the light pink (like the binding on the shoes)

Instead of a swiss spotted paper - dark pink bg with little light pink flowers all over it.

Dark green with swirls of little green vines and leaves.

[cowboy]

A girlie background for the pale pink colour - maybe stick people pattern

[LinJ]

Background similar to the shoes !

[mcbowersox]

What about a scalloped edge on one of the backgrounds. It looks like the soles of the shoes are scalloped.

[dinaben99]

a deep green or mauve background paper with a bit of a "shoe print/tread" texture all over to it give it a bit of dimension

[nachtstern]

solid dirt brown paper - maybe textured? (I know the color is not on the palette but it screams for it in my mind)
else the dark green would do too :)

[baflien]

a pink solid textured paper

[jemtred]

What cute shoes. I am liking the idea of a green background with the pink colour as stripes (can't have flowers for everything!!!) and a browny colour. Not regular stripes but thick and thin ones

[Lauren]

I background made just like the shoes if that is possible.



http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/2009_2_1.jpg

[webfrau]

How'd you do that Lauren? You're just too smart. Looks just like the shoes.

[webfrau]

How about the dark burgundy/purply colour as a solid but with a needlecord texture.

The background you've done made me think of the wincyette blouses Mum used to make me that invariably came with a fine corduroy pinnafore or skirt to match. Which was way better than the crimpelene phase. LOL!

[baflien]

Yes what about a corduroy textured page

[newbienfr]

Oh... just thought of another.

Light green background with a light pink grunge look to it.

Thought I would mention this again.

[Cathiemarie]

What shoes???? where???? now I've seen the yummy bg Lauren made I gotta see the shoes you are all talking about.

[MurlieMac]

The darker green background with the light pink flowers (the flowers that are in the darker green circles already) around the edges

[MurlieMac]

Or the very light pink color as a BG with darker green vines and the flowers from the circles in the corners

[mariafer]

What shoes???? where???? now I've seen the yummy bg Lauren made I gotta see the shoes you are all talking about.

Unfortunately for us shoe lovers they are baby shoes...

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3479/3172206574_a8569a0311.jpg?v=0

[mariafer]

I think I would like a light green solid somewhat grungy... maybe with distressed edges since I am loving that type of paper...

[Dani B]

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/2009_2_1.jpg

I see you have worked your magic again ! It's a great paper Lauren.

[Dani B]

A very tiny pin stripe paper would be pretty - with a darker or grunged edge

[bandwife]

A Chocolate Brown rick rack ribbon with a grungy look to it. Maybe folded or curled. Just like the edges of the shoes.

[Lauren]

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/2009_2_3.jpg

[Corgi Lover]

Lighter pink with pinstripes.

Stacked paper

[Corgi Lover]

One of the lighter colors with color on color design (the design would be of the shapes of the print paper)

[Corgi Lover]

A distressed paper with a tear or ripped edge revealing cardboard or more corduroy underneath

[cowboy]

Looking good lauren - I'd still like to see a pale pink girlie type background - girlie stick figures, houses, cats etc

[newbienfr]

light pink background with a faint mini-polka dot design or a faint harlequin design

[webfrau]

This is looking fantastic. I love the purples and green together.

[dinaben99]

what about a faded light blue background with a soft argyle pattern in pink, green, and burgandy

[honeymoon]

Still quite like a little tiny flower/swiss dot pattern.

A paper with flowers around the edge and fading to blank in the middle. Could even shape the edge of the paper - or what about one big round flower paper.

[dawn-in-nz]

An any colour plain paper (maybe grungy) but this time make it smaller than the full page and around the edge have a cut out pattern of some sort so that the paper underneath shows around the edges and through the cut outs - the cut outs could be a smaller version of the shape of the pattern on the first paper - the edge of the paper could perhaps have a scalloped edge of some sort - or not.

[LinJ]

Like the cut-out idea ! Or a paper with sparkle edges ?

[Dani B]

Still quite like a little tiny flower/swiss dot pattern.

A paper with flowers around the edge and fading to blank in the middle. Could even shape the edge of the paper - or what about one big round flower paper.

I like this idea too, I love tiny dotted anything.

[janetklm]

I love the idea of a (the dark) pink background and a polka dot pattern (using the other colours)

[Lauren]

Still quite like a little tiny flower/swiss dot pattern.



http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/2009_2_4.jpg

[webfrau]

Does this mean it's element time? A dainty frame made from the flowers?
(what am I doing suggesting flowers - doesn't sound like me at all!)

[janetklm]

It absolutely needs flowers...maybe even a cluster of flowers or some retro styled flowers?
And a pink bow like the one on the shoes would be nice too.

[KrystalW]

What about a daisy chain? I love these colours..and the papers are divine.

[shawsi]

I think two pink buttons tied together with maybe that light green ribbon?

We really need more of that light green...I love that combination.

Maybe some tin dangles with ribbons of those colors. (I loved the tin in Tin Trappings)

[shawsi]

Maybe tin buttons stamped with the same design as the delicate little white buttons with the pink daisies. Not the buttons with holes, the ones with the shanks so there would be some depth to it.

[bamabreeze10]

I'm new to this challenge (and a little late it seems for the start!) but what about a green ribbon with some flower accents in the purple (or vice versa?), or a green multi-picture frame (2-3) in a green with some accents on it matching the shoe's pattern? Beautiful papers so far! I can't wait to see the rest :)

[newbienfr]

what about a rippled/wavy green satin ribbon frame with a tied bow in a corner.

[newbienfr]

journaling mat or torn paper in the dark green, but the middle of it is "scratched"/ worn away to reveal a lighter shade of the green (so journaling would be easier to read)

[cowboy]

A curled corner, maybe some journaling strips joined with stitching.

[mcbowersox]

I love the papers! The corduroy rocks!

It's amazing how watching these kits come together makes me even more convinced I need to buy them!

I can't afford to keep watching!

[baflien]

Twill ribbon maybe

[jemtred]

I have seriously GOT to stop sleeping! I really think this wants some ribons and flowers. Even a cluster of ribbons and flowers - very busy but quite big. Maybe even a posy. In all the pinks and greens!!

[mariafer]

I would like some leaves... just a bunch of gorgeous leaves. and some ribbon... don't care much as long as I get ribbon. :)

A clipped flower

A paper butterfly (with some flower paper)

[sueya]

Love the idea of a daisy chain!
I'd like to see flower shaped brads or eyelets and a floral ribbon.

[Lauren]

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/2009_2_5.jpg

[janetklm]

Wow! Love that flower; it's exactly what I had in mind.
Maybe you could do a matching ribbon; stiched or stapled would be great.

[Kathleen]

Really great colors and textures!

How about a frame, with a flower outline (or maybe two or three flowers), maybe with something decorative in another corner, something like (prepare for bad illustration):

[LinJ]

Great flower ! So creative ;-)

Coulnd't find your Gimme a Clue Flair .... can someone direct me ? THANKS

How about a dragonfly ?

[Lauren]

gimme a clue flair is in this forum in a separate thread

[dawn-in-nz]

A group of journalling strips the same shape as the petals of the flower, grouped underneath each other with each second one facing the opposite way.

[happybeingamom]

I would love to see a scallop border similar to the one in peppermint cream but it should be a rectangle not a square say a 5X11 or a 4X6.

[mariafer]

lovely flower... Now I really would love a paper butterfly.

[honeymoon]

A stitched daisy chain border with daisy chain flowers in the corners (daisy chain as in the embroidery stitch).

[Lauren]

I'm new to this challenge (and a little late it seems for the start!) but what about a green ribbon with some flower accents in the purple (or vice versa?), or a green multi-picture frame (2-3) in a green with some accents on it matching the shoe's pattern? Beautiful papers so far! I can't wait to see the rest :)
Ok so more than 2 - 3 photo holes but some of these could be filled with papers - or even future elements maybe



http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/2009_2_6.jpg

Ok

[bamabreeze10]

oooh that frame is GORGEOUS!! I love that its all circular openings :) Beautiful!

[LinJ]

Now that frame is creative ! I love multiple picture frames! Found the flair - seems so obvious now <grin>

How about a swirly element ? Ohhhhhhh I wish I could give a more creative description ...

[happybeingamom]

How about a big wide chunky ribbon either with print on it or in velvet in the darkest color or in the green but it should look weathered (old like with creases and the nap should be off. I am thinking it should look like it has been a band for a hat which aged)

[shawsi]

I love that green with these colors. I would have never thought of it, but I really like it.

I really think we need some buttons.

[Kathleen]

Great frame!

just-pjz posted a thread in In Search Of/Kit Requests under the Product Info forum, paper quilling (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=36148), Christine and Kim have both popped into the thread, but I don't know if anyone has taken up the challenge yet. Looking at the colors, I keep thinking of a deep pink quilling heart, or scroll (kind of like an S, but lots of circles at each end.

In the deep pink/purpleish color, a thin border, about 11" square maybe scalloped on both sides with small holes in the middle, or linked circles. More delicate, and nothing that would take over the page, but a great element to frame a page.

[shawsi]

What about something to journal on...maybe the lightest green, with a border around it of some of the little circle designs.

[bamabreeze10]

What about something to journal on...maybe the lightest green, with a border around it of some of the little circle designs.

I think thats a great idea! Maybe the light green with dark purple scallops on the edge?

[MomOfMax]

I'm new to this game. This kit is gorgeous so far.

How about some type of dangling bling. Some sparkling beads in the shape of the flowers on the shoe.

[webfrau]

This is looking like a perfect kit for "9 on the 9th" next month. I like the scrunched edges on the frame.

[sueya]

I'd like to see a floral trim like this one,but in different colours to match the floral fabric

https://www.dollsandlace.com/images/products/la48k.jpg

[janetklm]

I think it needs something in the lighter colors.
Maybe a horizontal striped ribbon in the lighter pink and green and a few buttons in the light colours.
I love the idea of a swirl (also light colour), maybe a cardboard one.

[jemtred]

I like the idea of a beaded flowery wire swirly thing! So versatile to enhance any LO (even if my description is a little vague!)

[mcbowersox]

I just LOVE that flower! The more I look at it, the more I like it!

I'd love to see some sort of a single frame. And maybe some fancy brackets?

And a little bit of bling wouldn't hurt my feelings either :)

[newbienfr]

journaling mat or torn paper in the dark green, but the middle of it is "scratched"/ worn away to reveal a lighter shade of the green (so journaling would be easier to read)

mentioning this again

[MurlieMac]

How about a corner overlay with green vines in the corners with all the differnt flower shapes

[windstorm]

A journaling block in pale pink with stamped on flowers

[cjoy2day]

Since the papers where inspired by those cute shoes what about a ribbon w/ stitching and some type of buckle element?

[dawn-in-nz]

Word Art using the word 'Nine' over and over again in a long column down the length of the page, similar to some of Tina's. Or the word 'Nine' as a sticker or silver pin or something, anything.

[Lauren]

Maybe a horizontal striped ribbon .

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/2009_2_7.jpg

[honeymoon]

Loving this.

Metal or card slide for the ribbon with a flower imprinted or stamped on it.

Still quite like the idea of an embroidered daisy, one that would fit in the big bits of the frame - we could then use it to stitch the frame to the page.

[jmnodwell]

how about a pink string bow to match the bow on the shoes

string of sequins alternating between the pink, green, and white

[shawsi]

I love the round patterns in the first background. Maybe buttons to look like them.

Still would like something to journal on. Maybe with those same designs.

[janetklm]

Gosh,loving this already, I can't wait to use it.
Maybe some buttons (a little bit of bling-bling to lighten it up); staples or stiching to use on the ribbon and frame?

[mcbowersox]

The ribbon is fantastic! I love the idea of a slide for it!

[cowboy]

Love that ribbon Lauren - you are so clever

[cowboy]

Suggesting the journaling strips (maybe one of each of the colours) again joined by stitching

[newbienfr]

I LOVE the ribbon! I just bought some that is similar to it for a paper album.

a tag to journal on (not sure what color) with some pink string or cord (like the little pink bow that is on the shoes)

[minnmom79]

a grouping of flower eyelets that match the metal in the flower.

a folded down corner.

[Lauren]

I'm new to this game. This kit is gorgeous so far.

How about some type of dangling bling. Some sparkling beads in the shape of the flowers on the shoe.

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/2009_2_8.jpg

[LinJ]

Also like word art !

[LinJ]

Gorgeous bling !! love it ....

[shawsi]

Very pretty.

Something to journal on please.

[baflien]

This is a gorgeous kit!

[Lauren]

I LOVE the ribbon! I just bought some that is similar to it for a paper album.

a tag to journal on (not sure what color) with some pink string or cord (like the little pink bow that is on the shoes)

Well it doesnt have pink cord but its a tag
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/2009_2_9.jpg

[Dani B]

It needs a journaling tag with a bright combination of those fuzzy yarns and mixed threads hanging on it - the tag haveing a slot or eyelet to slide onto the ribbon. My grandaughter loves this kind of tie for her shoes or hair.

[dawn-in-nz]

How about that spring of yours Lauren, I think it would look good with this kit.

[janetklm]

Thinking of a spray or swirl in the pink and light green.

[Corgi Lover]

how about some stitching

eyelets to lace

a set of fibers to go with the ribbon

folded stitched journaling tags

[Corgi Lover]

a plain binder clip

a staple group

[Corgi Lover]

Stitched light green tags with pink border that has the stitching running off the tag

fancy photo prong

messy wire mesh bent with a couple holes in it

[Corgi Lover]

circle of small bling pink flowers like the dangled one on left

[MurlieMac]

how about a blingy buckle?

[Lauren]

I'd like to see a floral trim like this one,but in different colours to match the floral fabric

https://www.dollsandlace.com/images/products/la48k.jpg

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/2009_2_10.jpg

[LinJ]

pretty, pretty, pretty !

An element ( branch of ? ) to hang the bling chains on ......

[newbienfr]

This is looking wonderful!!!! This is going to be perfect for my little one's pictures. I can't wait to buy it.

Is it time for a name yet? I was thinking: Pocket Full of Posies

[shawsi]

Green or pink staples?

Paper clip or a pin with one of the pieces of lace or blingy flowers attached to it.

[Lauren]

I love the round patterns in the first background. Maybe buttons to look like them.

Still would like something to journal on. Maybe with those same designs.

So I made a few changes - changed the colour of the paper tag and added a second flower but its all one element - and here are the group of buttons
One element to go

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/2009_2_11.jpg

[newbienfr]

maybe some word art that travels a circular path or just regular word art

a pocket or envelope to "tuck" treasures into

[LinJ]

I second Word Art !!

[shawsi]

Those buttons are so cute!

[dawn-in-nz]

A slide to go onto the ribbon that we could add a name to, or the date, whatever.

[mcbowersox]

I love everything you added! I really like the idea of a slide, especially one we could add a name or date to.

Could the two flowers be separate? I love that flower so much, and I think it'd be great to be able to use them together or separately? (or maybe I'm just a control freak :) )

[jemtred]

I think we need a little more "light" so maybe a light coloured (or white/cream) hair slide type of thing. You could make it a new type of fastner to clip pages/photos together with maybe a button or flower on it.

[Lauren]

I just LOVE that flower! The more I look at it, the more I like it!

I'd love to see some sort of a single frame.
Ok last piece done!!- http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/freebies/gimmeaclue/2009_2_12.jpg

Now we need a name

[baflien]

Flower fun
Flowery days
Spring

[baflien]

Step Into Spring sounds good too.

[bamabreeze10]

Pocket full of Posies

[Lauren]

I like the " into spring" bit - I think I will use that but it will be Skip into Spring

[honeymoon]

Gorgeous and just the perfect name.

[JanP]

How did I manage to miss this one? When I looked at the kit, the word "Daisyliscious" popped into my mind! :lol:

[janetklm]

Stunning kit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Muma]

Oh wow ... stunning kit ... I missed this one to LOL

[MurlieMac]

Another wonderful kit Lauren!

[Kathleen]

Makes me wish even move for Spring here!! Just lovely!

[MomOfMax]

Beautiful kit! I've got some ideas for it already.

[dawn-in-nz]

Lauren, whenever you start a new Gimme a Clue could you let us know in the thread of the previous one so that we know it's started please? I think a lot of us are missing them because we are subscribed to only that thread instead of the forum.

[newbienfr]

LOVE the kit!!! Wonderful job. I can't wait to get this one!

[dinaben99]

what a cute kit, I can't beleive how quick you create these.

[Lauren]

its in the store - http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=9644

and Im starting a new thread now!!

[mcbowersox]

It looks so great!

I'm so excited that you separated the two flowers! I have big plans for this kit!

[sueya]

Was there a draw for this kit? If so who won it?
