I am in love with this one :yes:

[mcbowersox]

Ok, the other day I was at my doctor's and they had the coolest Kleenex box. I so wanted a kit made from it. I tried taking a pic of it with my cell phone, but it didn't turn out. So, anyhow, I went onto Kleenex's website today to try to find it. I couldn't find it, but I found two others I liked.

I'm going to the doc today and I'm going to take my camera. What a weirdo I'm turning into!

[handkl]

Love the colour swatch from Sandy.

[lmilgram]

Here's my first attempt at a color swatch...

[dawn-in-nz]

Pistachio

Sculpture
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/6607/sculpture1.jpg

[sandygb]

wow...so many awesome colors!

[mariafer]

There always are... don't know how they pick... and great inspiration also...

[JenniferG]

Should I resubmit the last swatch now or wait a bit?

[JenniferG]

I'll do it now...may be really similar to the last kit made though, color-wise.

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/6620/Sea_Foam_swatch.jpg (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=298072)

I made some backgrounds with it based on the photo, but I know you would do MUCH better than me! I just wanted to "play" with the swatch a bit.

[JenniferG]

Loving this color swatch as well!

I adore your color swatches!

[swatkins56]

Oh, I'm so excited. Here is my first attempt to do a color scheme, based on colors on my nephew's orange tree. I needed a little California sunshine this Seattle January. CC appreciated!

hafta go with this cute inspiration pic!

Jennifer, resubmit again, please! I didnt go with it this time b/c like you said, its too close to the last kit.

I love Sandy's too!

[JenniferG]

Love that scheme! Will resubmit the scheme after you've done a few kits in other schemes....just to make sure there's enough "space" between colors of kits!

[wuvie]

Yay!!! :yahoo:

White textured paper with pink stitching around the edge
tiny X's and O's like the one little bird
Light faded swirls of colors like the swirl easter eggs you can be make from a kit, like a tie dye?

[JenniferG]

hows about a background matching the teal birdie with the pink polka dots?

and a background matching the pink birdie with the XOXO? Gotta have em, you know!

[Tina]

wanted to show you all a layout I did with Hip, Hip Happy

The BoBo Carcass (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/../gallery/showphoto.php?photo=299067)

[sandygb]

Ooo. looks bright and funky. I think a whimsical kit would be perfect!

[mariafer]

I love the idea of the x&o's like the birds iwuvpsp said.

And can I say I wish you could all see this t-shirt in RL... It is so cute! Well I guess you could visit your local Target... LOL!

[dawn-in-nz]

I did one with Hip Hip Happy too, the colours were just great in that one. I think we should have a thread where we can link to the LOs we've done with the Designakit kits.

[shawsi]

I love Sandy's and Pistachio.

I am so sorry...didn't get to the second page and see that you had already chosen the colors.

Hope to get to these someday too.

[shawsi]

I love her sleeves. A background like that would be great.


Black with pink and turquoise hearts would be adorable.

[Tina]

Here (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=36389) is the thread! Hope you all post away!

[idtwinmom]

Fantastic colors!

Yes, you just have to do the two birdy colors as BGs. I don't know if they should be on a bg or as a separate element, but those little hearts just have to make it into the kit too!

[sandygb]

I definitely love the idea of 2 BG papers that match the body of the 2 birds.

How about a white background with a bit of the dark pink grunging around the edge of the paper.

A solid light pink background paper with a canvas texture.

[sueya]

I think a striped background would look good or perhaps a gingham.

[tif_gerber]

Can we have a black background maybe with some pink or teal grunginess around the edge, too, please?

[Tina]

Here's the 1st two backgrounds!

keep in mind I don't want to copy the shirt exactly b/c I don't want sued by Target. lol!


http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/../gallery/data/1624/Designakit10_2.jpg

[handkl]

A white background with a grungy pink and blue edge
A solid blue background
A solid pink background

[handkl]

And a few more suggestions:

White with pink and blue hearts
White with a pink swirl on the edge
Blue with the words "Love" written pink and repeated and perhaps in different fonts

[idtwinmom]

Like the white with swirls, but how about a mixture of the pink and blue.

[JenniferG]

You know what would be really cute, a thin striped background in the chosen colors...but faded, you know? So the colors aren't so bold, just there but faded. If you have enough patterned paper for now, this would be awesome for an add on. Stripes are needed, I think.

And I like the idea of a white paper. maybe you could add some smudges in pink around the edges and in the center.

[mariafer]

Love the papers!

For more ideas... since so many people want white... how about a white one with hearts sprinkling down... some glittered some blue some pink... just down the middle.

[sandygb]

Ooo, cool papers! white, white, white please!

[bamabreeze10]

oooh i'm late for this challenge :( how about a white paper with a border stitched around it to match the words on the shirt

[moog25]

I'd love a striped corduroy textured paper.
Or how about one with tiny x's and one woth tiny o's/

[Dani B]

How about a soft blue paper with lots of fluffy white clouds on it like you would see on a beautiful spring day.

[Dani B]

A white paper with tiny confetti hearts and little stuff like you see there on the shirt between the two birds. Maybe swirled across the paper as if the wind was blowing it.

Tiny pin stripes useing all the colors in the swatches.

[mcbowersox]

I'd love a white paper, too.

I'd also like some kind of striped paper using all the colors from the swatch.

[shawsi]

How about white with embossed hearts and dots. Simple but pretty.

[Tina]

How about a white background with a bit of the dark pink grunging around the edge of the paper.




Sorry, I'm slow on this, fun weekend w/ my boy...


Here's the 3rd background


http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/../gallery/data/1624/Designakit10_3.jpg

[mcbowersox]

No worries! You do your best work late at night!

[JenniferG]

I think the final background should be black. Either patterned or not. I think it would wrap the papers up nicely.

[idtwinmom]

Yep, the last paper needs to be black, maybe just a touch of the light pink somewhere. Maybe not an all over pattern, but something down one side or in a lower corner. Maybe a spray of little hearts and if not too close to the shirt, maybe a little bird.

[shawsi]

How about black with pink lipstick prints.

[Tina]

bump!

[idtwinmom]

LOL - Hope you had a good weekend with your son! What a charmer that one!

[sandygb]

Since many have already suggested a black BG, I'm going to suggest a pale pink BG with narrow pin stripes in black and maybe also aqua and dark pink.

[Dani B]

A white paper with tiny confetti hearts and little stuff like you see there on the shirt between the two birds. Maybe swirled across the paper as if the wind was blowing it.

Tiny pin stripes useing all the colors in the swatches.

[Dani B]

Is there such a thing as hearts in a row like a multi stripe would be - maybe with each row a different color ?

[shawsi]

feathers and hearts in the various colors on black, or even on white. The feathers would be more like down than the stiff ones. Very thin and airy. You could leave off the hearts.

[shawsi]

What does bump mean?

[Tina]

What does bump mean?

just means "bumping" it back to show in the new posts so people will see it.

[handkl]

Since many have already suggested a black BG, I'm going to suggest a pale pink BG with narrow pin stripes in black and maybe also aqua and dark pink.

Love this idea!

[idtwinmom]

Yeah, I think we all got sidetracked this weekend!

I still want black, but maybe you could add some pink and aqua to it. Simple, not busy.

[Tina]

Here's black with some multicolor hearts.

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/../gallery/data/1624/DesignAkit10_4.jpg

[handkl]

Element suggestions:

1. A piece of thread with some jewels on it in the same colours as the kit;
2. Circle wire frame with some jewels on it
3. Light blue heart with a white scallopped edge
4. A white or black swirl stamp
5. Long black retangle frame (a little grungy though)
6. String of threaded hearts in the colours of the kit

[Pezjunky]

How about something stitched, a flower or heart or frame maybe
A ribbon with the colored hearts on it

[mariafer]

I love how it is turning out...

How about a some sequins connected with lots of stitches
A glitter (very small glitter) heart or two dangling from some string... maybe with a bit of a curl on one of them.
a wire x&o

[idtwinmom]

A scatter of confetti hearts, glitter or not.
A heart shaped frame or journal tag

[handkl]

Word Art Suggestions:

1. First kiss
2. First Love
3. Be My Love
4. You are my valentine

[Tina]

How about something stitched, a flower or heart or frame maybe


String of threaded hearts in the colours of the kit

Not sure this is what you meant Hannah, but it came from your suggestion. A string w/ gem hearts :)

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/../gallery/data/1624/Designakit10_6.jpg

[wuvie]

This is so . . . wow!

[idtwinmom]

How about a scatter of the gem hearts (like you are looking at the beading in progress). Does that make sense?

[sandygb]

I would love to see a rectangular stamped photo frame, with some fancy scrolls in 2 diagonal corners. I love stamped frames....perfect for graphic style pages. I would like it in black so we can easily recolor it.

[honeymoon]

A journalling card the same shape as the stitched heart, but slightly bigger so that we could use the stitching on it if we wanted or not.

I like Sandy's idea for a stamped frame, but if you were to make it in two halves (diagonally cut) so that it could be used as corner stamps or a frame.

[handkl]

That is exactly what I meant Tina!

Love Sandy's suggestion of the stamped frame and Fiona's suggestion of the heart journaling tag (both work into my earlier requests).

Other suggestions:
1. A collection of patterned ribbons layered on top of one another with similar stitching used on the heart stitching.
2. Staples to work with journaling heart tag if you don't use the stitch

[Tina]

I would love to see a rectangular stamped photo frame, with some fancy scrolls in 2 diagonal corners. I love stamped frames....perfect for graphic style pages. I would like it in black so we can easily recolor it.

Here is the frame, but I made it easy enough to cut apart if you want to use it as corners, like Fiona suggested :)


http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/../gallery/data/1624/Designakit10_7.jpg

[handkl]

That's perfect Tina!

[idtwinmom]

Gorgeous! I would still love to see the hearts as a little scatter.
The journal tag mentioned would be good too!

[Dani B]

Ohhh I especially love that little string of hearts, it looks exactly like one my grandaughter made in school for herself and her teacher.

[shawsi]

Great elements, Love the frame.

There needs to be something more solid. Maybe three hearts joined together.

[Tina]

scattered hearts for Lisa and the dangling gems were my idea


http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/1624/Designakit10_9.jpg

[Pezjunky]

So cute! I like the scattered heart/bead idea.
How about a wrinkly paper heart, kinda like a wrinkled valentine (since kids are always wrinkling up papers).
Also, a metal/metallic X and O like the paper, either separate letters or connected as one piece.

[JenniferG]

Wow, you go away for a minute and when you come back, Tina's almost got the kit finished! Man you are fast!!!

I really like how this is turning out! Needs a word art....something gem-y. Maybe a simple Love word or some such thing. You could have it say I heart you (with a heart shape instead of the word.)

[handkl]

Need that heart shaped journaling tag.

As for word art, just "bumping" my suggestions from earlier:
1. First Kiss
2. First Love
AND
3. I "heart" You (as suggested by JenniferG) - maybe you can work that heart so that we could use it as word art or extract it and use it for journaling only and then use the stitched heart and so on and so on.

[sandygb]

Love that frame Tina!!

[sueya]

I'd like to see some enamel brads in the shape of X's,Os or hearts

[wuvie]

I know we arn't to the name part yet, but everytime I look at the kit I get this little song in my head

X's and O's X's and O's

is that even a real song? :think:

[mariafer]

I would love a bow. Either a string bow or a sheer ribbon bow.

[wuvie]

I knew it was a song!!

Well she tied her hair up in ribbons and bows
Sign her letters with X's and O's
X's and O's, X's and O's

it's American girl by Trisha Yearwood

[Tina]

is no one going to ask for a bird? LOLOL??? I've been waiting..........

[wuvie]

I was afraid it was to much like the shirt :eek:
Pink and Blue bird would be awsome!! :rofl:

[Tina]

Oh, I made it look different. lol. How about a pink and pink bird?:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[wuvie]

Pink and Pink is good :yes:

[shawsi]

Or...two birds cuddling would be cute.

[idtwinmom]

I didn't ask for the birds again because you didn't want it to be too much like the shirt! :lol:

I like the cuddling birds but if you just have one that's ok
It still needs that heart journal tab
I also like the X & O for WA, but done seperate so that we can play with where they go on the page

Teehee - thanks for the hearts!

[JenniferG]

How bout them birdies, Tina? You could have them cuddling and then the word art, XOXO underneath.

[Tina]

2 birds or 1? (this is 1 element)

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/../gallery/data/1624/Designakit10_10.jpg

[idtwinmom]

Absolutely love those birds!

Gonna repeat!
I also like the X & O for WA, but done seperate so that we can play with where they go on the page

[JenniferG]

Definitely 2 birds! So cute!!!!

Word art is an apparent must here! Echoing Lisa. But could we have it in the gem-y style you used for the dangling element?

[wuvie]

Double WOW!
too cute!!

[Tina]

ok, you want the w/a made like the gems?

[handkl]

Sure!

How about "Love Birds" or "Cuddled in Love"

[sandygb]

Awesome birds!!! gem word art? I can't quite picture it. If it works....go for it.....LOL.

[Tina]

having a hard time making it look right ;) maybe regular word art with some gems?

[minnmom79]

I like the idea of regular wordart with a few gems
I am getting into this one a bit late-
how about a glittery swirl with a few gems
a frame that is made of paper with a glitter edge

[wuvie]

Maybe like the fame with a few gems as highlights?

[sandygb]

having a hard time making it look right ;) maybe regular word art with some gems?

LOL. See...I couldn't quite figure how it was going to work. I think regular wordart embellished with a few gems sounds perfect.

[Tina]

any other suggestions for the word art (as in the words, not the style ;))?

[bamabreeze10]

"on the wings of love" or "love takes flight"

[wuvie]

hugs and kisses

[Tina]

okey dokey!

here's the final, ready for names.

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/../gallery/data/1624/Designakit10_Final.jpg

[mariafer]

OH and BTW I LOVE THIS KIT! Adreana is thrilled that we will be getting it! Maybe she will be thrilled enough to let me do a photoshoot with the shirt :)!

Sandi

[idtwinmom]

[Raphne]

Oh, my! I just can't wait to see this in the store. This is what I get for trying to cut back on my dsp time, I miss it entirely lol!

Tina, I can totally relate to the winter stir-crazys. But I appreciate that you turn to creating to cope!

[sandygb]

WooHoo....I can't believe I won twice!!! LOL. I know that only means one kit...but still....ironic. I am thrilled to get this one Tina. It's simply to Tweet for words!

[mcbowersox]
