I just love this one!!

[Dani B]

Here is one from me, not sure how to post the photo but will get it into here as soon as I figure it out. Lots of cute prints here.

Again, I am torn between the colours - I like the brown and red one from idtwinmom, but then I saw JenniferG's aqua and brown swatch.

All the pink swatches are nice, but I usually scarp about my boys so I am always drawn towards more masculine colours.

[Tina]

I'm TORN! There are 2 I can't decide between! So, I'm going to let you vote. Please vote here:

Here's our colors!

Jennifer, I hope you'll submit yours again!

[mcbowersox]

Please do Jennifer!

[mariafer]

I love the inspiration picture...

How about some stripes like in the green pillow or the chair and a background with leaves like in the curtains

[mcbowersox]

A floral BG like the pillow. And a textured, stripey looking light blue like the chair.

[idtwinmom]

I really want a BG with those greens! Seems like you can never have enough green. Something textured, not too grungy, maybe a simple pin stripe.

[bamabreeze10]

how about a darker green with light green swirls

[LinJ]

Jennifer ... yes, submit again ;-)

I also love the chosen colors ....

... how about a green grungy, overlay type edge paper?

[Tina]

This started just the green with the pinstripes, but the blue just jumped in there. Sorry, I tried to stop it, but it wouldn't listen.

[JenniferG]

Sorry Ladies..as this conversation was going on I was getting myself and the girls ready for church. Just got home about an hour or so ago and had to put the girls to bed, clean up the mess, put stuff away and do some laundry. Just sat down with some food and read myself up to date in the threads.

It was a close match. I probably would have voted for Dawn's, too, as I love blue. I would have had my sister vote for me, because I love my submitted color swatch too. Yeah, I can understand why you were torn, Tina! Don't worry, I'll submit again. I submitted for Lauren too, and she was having a tough time deciding, too. But my swatch lost both times. :( I'll submit it for Designakit 10. :)

I love that first background, Tina. Could we have a blue grunge background. The grunge could be white or yellow instead of black. Just a light grunge would be awesome, I think. Or the grunge could be an entirely separate element....

[mcbowersox]

Definitely something yellow to bring out the yellow in the striped paper (which I love btw). I don't have many yellow things.

[swatkins56]

So, question for those of you who participate in this challenge. If your color scheme is not selected, can you submit the next week or with another designer?

[mariafer]

swatkins: I do... although they each have their own taste in color schemes too and so sometimes I do some I only submit to Tina (multiple times :)) and some just to Lauren.

Tina I still would love something similar to the leaf pattern on the curtains... Lovely 1st paper.

[bamabreeze10]

I know its not on the color swatch, but could we do a light color and mix it with the dark chocolate color of the floor and the wood on the chair?

[idtwinmom]

This started just the green with the pinstripes, but the blue just jumped in there. Sorry, I tried to stop it, but it wouldn't listen.


http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/../gallery/data/1624/Designakit9_1.jpg

LOL! But it looks so good! I think I will just have to forgive you!

Now the flowered BG would be nice!

[LinJ]

Love it ! LOL

[handkl]

Lovely first background Tina!

A background with that flower on it would be great!
Love the idea of a yellow slightly grungy background, but with white grunge instead of black.

[wuvie]

How about the light blue with the flower faded into the background really faint?

[Tina]

here's the flower paper

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/../gallery/data/1624/Designakit9_2.jpg

[PacificTonz]

The colours are soft and gentle so how about bringing that into a paper with a lightly sanded or unevenly faded look.

[wuvie]

here's the flower paper

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/../gallery/data/1624/Designakit9_2.jpg


Wow, that's beautiful

[wuvie]

How about uneven width strips on a white backgound, like the farthest pillow?

[Pezjunky]

How about a watercolor look with colors bleeding into each other a bit.
Or something a little more 'solid' colored-in the dark blue maybe.

[doda]

Wow Tina, I have been so out of it I didn't know you had started the Designakit again! Love these colors and it looks great so far!

[Tina]

Here's the yellow (its actually light green) with a grunge edge (but i did it in blue) slightly water colory


http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/../gallery/data/1624/Designakit9_3.jpg

[sammdc]

wowow these papers are awesome Tina I love them

[MurlieMac]

Wonderful papers Tina

[idtwinmom]

Those are wonderful. How about a tone-on-tone pattern, very subtle. Don't really care which color, but something that resembles like a flocked paper. Don't know if that makes sense or not.

[sandygb]

Bringing the colors forward again:

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

[sandygb]

I would love to see a mostly solid paper in the darker blue shade with a small tone on tone very subtle pattern.

[Jeanet]

wow the flower paper is awesome.

[Tina]

Well, not certain its flocked, but its blue on blue ;)

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/../gallery/data/1624/Designaakit9_4.jpg

[mcbowersox]

Oooh! These look great! And that last darker blue paper just brings it all together!

[wuvie]

Very nice!!
makes me very much think of spring, easter, flowers and and little girls in new outfits.

Can we have a lattice
and some flowing ribbons of blues and green

[doda]

How about that flower in chipboard or sticker form and the leaves also, just separately so we can add as many or as few as we want. Could even hang the leaves maybe from a chain or ribbon and journal on them.

Anywhoo it's looking great!

[sueya]

I would like to see some flower shaped brads or circular brads with flowers and leaves on them

[bamabreeze10]

a green frame with layers (kind of how you made the frame in "My Comfortable Jeans") but square or circular

A journaling block with a flower on it kind of like on your paper would be awesome too!

[Pezjunky]

A paperclip with a flower on it
A flowery overylay/border
A frame - silver/metallic maybe

[sandygb]

I would love to see a border strip made with twisted ribbon and buttons scattered along it.

EDITED: The buttons could be in a flower shape like the paper.

That blue paper is perfect! Not flocked, but doesn't need to be!

I love the chipboard flower idea and the twisted ribbon with flower buttons!

[shawsi]

I would like a blue ribbon with the colors in the darker blue paper.

The design in the blue paper would also be neat in an circular frame type effect...maybe on an overlay. Don't know how to describe what I mean. Maybe chipboard or sticker?

[Dani B]

I am loveing these papers Tina, I think I want this kit already and I haven't even thought about the elements yet - lol

[Dani B]

How about a chipboard flower like the one on the paper. Also a pretty tag with the same flower and some ribbons wound around it.

[Dani B]

Oops , just read someone already suggested the chipboard flower. Maybe a pretty overlay with word art in one corner or around the border.

[handkl]

Yes, a chipboard flower sounds fabulous and we need some ribbons for sure. What a about a white frame of some sort?

[baflien]

a curled ribbon maybe
stitching in the form of the flower

[Tina]

many have asked for the chipboard flower


http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/../gallery/data/1624/designakit9_5.jpg

[handkl]

Love the flower!

We need some sort of white frame - perhaps a stamp styled one
An overlay for the page edge with a patter similar to the vine on the blue background
Two staples that overlap or a brad of some sort

[Betsyfru]

A grungy white chipboard frame, rectangular or square, not scalloped.

Some buttons with thread in them - green & blue

[idtwinmom]

I like the button idea. I can also see a ribbon, very curly, my brain keeps saying viney, but I don't know if that makes sense. Someone also mentioned stitching, that might look good.

[MurlieMac]

a ligth blue flat braided ribbon or webbing

[baflien]

This kit looks awesome

[Dani B]

Love the flower, it's perfect Tina !

I would love to see a circle of brads to match the center of the flower - or a photo frame made in the shape of the flower so we could insert a photo into it.

[doda]

Ooh I do love that flower!

[sueya]

Love that chipboard flower! I'd like to see a gold paper clip with a gold or enamel flower at the top.

[Tina]

A grungy white chipboard frame, rectangular or square, not scalloped.

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/../gallery/data/1624/Designakit9_7.jpg

[Jeanet]

I'm thinking journaling strips made in the chipboard but with the colors of the kit.

[idtwinmom]

I would still like a curly ribbon, but since we have gone chipboard, maybe a chipboard swirl instead.

[wuvie]

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/../gallery/data/1624/Designakit9_7.jpg


Turning out beautifully as always!

[Leea]

the chipboard swirl suggested sounds good :)
how about a chipboard wordart...maybe Bloom?
How about wordart to match the colors of the flower?

[mcbowersox]

I like the chipboard swirl idea too!

[Leea]

How about a chain and bead... overlay/border for the top edge?

[handkl]

Yes, yes a chipboard swirl sounds fantastic!

I also like Jeanet's suggestion of journaling strips and if not strips some sort of a journaling mat - perhaps a white circle layered on a blue circle with a scalloped edge.


I would love to see messy paint brush strokes in blue

[mcbowersox]

Several pieces of chipboard linked together hanging down. Know what I mean? For journaling or even photos.

[moog25]

How about some painted wooden buttons strung on a knotted hemp-like thread?

[Tina]

I would still like a curly ribbon, but since we have gone chipboard, maybe a chipboard swirl instead.


http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/../gallery/data/1624/Designakit9_8.jpg

[moog25]

Several rows of smallish chipboard squares, either to use as a photo mat or page wide strips. I hope you can picture this, as it's a bit hard to describe.

[idtwinmom]

I liked the idea of hanging chipboard mats. Big enough for a small photo, or journaling. That was a great idea!

[Leea]

WOW! I really like the swirl! Cool!

[Leea]

How about a butterfly with swirly wings..similar to the swirl you made? That would be cool :)

[Leea]

How about an overlay/border that has small swirls twined in it similiar to the swirl you made...can you tell I really like the swirl? :)

[idtwinmom]

Oh, like that butterfly idea too!

Edited: It would be pretty with the blue in its wings.

[doda]

How about putting the flower or individual leaves inside a square and making a fillagree metal element we could hang from a chain or use as a brad. :)

[Dani B]

Perfect Tina ! :)

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/../gallery/data/1624/Designakit9_7.jpg

[Dani B]

Could we have a simple hanging tag or journaling note - maybe with a daisy and textured like the paper on it ? but without journaling lines on it. :)

[Lynnie]

Bling, Bling - it needs some bling :)

[MurlieMac]

how about a blue shoe lace with a the bow tied kind of like a kid would tie it (not quite so perfect)

[Tina]

Bling, Bling - it needs some bling :)

i went with the bling. its feeling too clunky with all the chipboard.

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/../gallery/data/1624/Designakit9_9.jpg

[idtwinmom]

How about that curly ribbon!

BTW - another absolutely gorgeous kit growing here!

[Betsyfru]

How about - and I don't know if I can describe this - a two-sided ribbon that is twisted every 2 or 3 inches, so that first you would see green, then blue, then green, then blue, etc.

[sandygb]

I'd second the ribbon ideas too!

[dawn-in-nz]

"If friends were flowers, I'd pick you" word art.

[dawn-in-nz]

A ribbon wrapped around the bottom of the frame twice - horizontally.

[Tina]

How about - and I don't know if I can describe this - a two-sided ribbon that is twisted every 2 or 3 inches, so that first you would see green, then blue, then green, then blue, etc.

Tho it looks a little more "streamer-ish" to me. Hope you like it anyway.

The gem butterfly was my own idea :D

1 more element to go!

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/../gallery/data/1624/Designakit9_11.jpg

[Dani B]

Ohhh your own idea of the butterfly adds just the shine and sparkle it needed. Is it possible to have a few little glass dots or jewels ( together as one element but where we could separate them if need be to use where ever we want to on the layout ?)

[wuvie]

I know you have probably made hundreds of them, but this kit needs either staples or small rolled eyelet

[shawsi]

What about an drops of dew? That would be pretty.

A small piece of thin paper, maybe rolled on the edge?

[Tina]

"If friends were flowers, I'd pick you" word art.


annnnnnnnnnnd done!

Names please?

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/../gallery/data/1624/designakit9_final.jpg

[mommabyrd2003]

Picked Chipboard
Chipboard and Flowers
Spring Bling

[mcbowersox]

Friend-chip

All Chipped in (like we all chipped in on the kit, and it's chipboard)
Chip In
Chips are In
Blue Over You
I'll be blue

[idtwinmom]

BTW - love the way it turned out! I would buy it for the butterfly and WA alone they are so gorgeous! But then you get all the rest of the pretties too!

[idtwinmom]

Chip and Shimmer

[sueya]

[Dani B]

Friendship Garden

[Dani B]

I'd Pick You ( to connect with word art )

[sandygb]

Okay I know that one is too long, how about

Blossom Bright

[wuvie]

Pick'a Chip

[mcbowersox]

I think this kit is going to need a matching alpha! I'd love to be able to change the word art to if daughters were flowers I'd pick you.
