Designakit 12

[Tina]

ready? set? go!

[tif_gerber]

Don't have any swatches to show, but I love to look and pick my favorite...so I'll sit here patiently...

[happybeingamom]

I have been wanting to do this for ages. I finally made the swatch.

I so want a kit to match this outfit

for some reason I can't get the orange right. I will try to fix it (tried my best)

[MurlieMac]

Here's a few from me:

[dawn-in-nz]

The dark colour is a very dark navy blue not black, mmmm no I think it's deep dark purple.

Gosh where is everyone, I fully expected to see the kit nearly finished by now!
I expect it will be by the time I've woken up, just off to bed now.

[swatkins56]

Here is my suggestion. I call it pink hibiscus, because we can all use a little tropical cheer at this point in winter:

[Tina]

ack! too many great colors!!!!!!!!!!!

[mcbowersox]

HOw are you feeling, Tina? Better we hope!

[Tina]

yes, thanks Christy :) Or I hope... it might just be the lull before the storm b/c DH has been sicker than i have!

[Tina]

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/6620/Sea_Foam_swatch.jpg

Ok, going to try this one this time, but I REALLY like Dawn's all yellows!!!

[idtwinmom]

OK, well then I guess this time we really should have the striped BG! :lol: I would also love the darker blue/green with a tone on tone pattern, and the lightest brown with a grunge edge or swirl in the corner.

(This may be my only suggestion today, I'm headed off to meet a fellow DSP'er IRL!)

:yippee::yippee: that would be me!!!!
I am dressed and ready and DH says I have to wait an hour :eek: :annoyed:

[wuvie]

Graidient blue background with just a hint of texture

[idtwinmom]

:yippee::yippee: that would be me!!!!
I am dressed and ready and DH says I have to wait an hour :eek: :annoyed:

Well, I am now dressed and ready and headed out the door. Have to stop at Winco and want to do it on my way down! (Have playing to do on my way home later!!!!!) See you soon!

[sandygb]

How about a green paper with little mini blue polka dots, which fade out in some areas.

[JenniferG]

Yay! Can't wait to see what you do with the swatch!

Hope you feel better soon and there is no "storm" to follow!

we definitely need stripes! Christy's been asking for a while now, and this swatch is perfect for stripes....how bout with a bit of black grunge around the corners and sides?

[handkl]

I am up for stripes!

I would also like to see the brown as a grungy background with some specks of black in and perhaps a grungy edge

A background in the grey that is fairly plain with a irregular dots in the blue.

[Tina]

okey dokey ladies. I think I'm back. I had SUCH a bad headache yesterday. All I did was lay on the couch and watch America's Next Top Model (which I had seen 100x before- the one with JADE if anyone watches- ugh!).

opening PS now!

[mcbowersox]

Of course the stripes! I always have to asks for stripes. It's my mission in life.

But I'm almost not feeling grunge with this one. It feels more polished (is that the word I want?) to me.

But honestly, I have no idea what I'm talking about and I'm sure I'll love anything.

[mcbowersox]

I'm pretty sure NTM would make my headache worse! ;)

[wuvie]

Glad you are feeling better Tina :hug:

[Tina]

I'm pretty sure NTM would make my headache worse! ;)

HAHAHAHA! maybe that was the problem! I watch it for the photo shoots, no, truly I do. They are amazing.

[JenniferG]

Yeah, those photo shoots are pretty awesome...but the female rivalry is just ridiculous. There's always at least one evil female in the group...and I think that Jade was the evil one in this group.....didn't she become the NTM? She was evil. I think that's the season that I decided I couldn't watch anymore. I couldn't believe she made it. Her attitude alone was enough for me to kick her out.

No, she didn't win- she came in 3rd tho. She was awful, I wish the judges watched what went on inside the house. Danielle won that season, I liked her. Joanie was #2, liked her too.

ANYWAY... lol.. here is the 1st paper for Christy!

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/../gallery/data/1624/Designakit12.jpg

[tif_gerber]

LOVIN' the stripes Tina!!! I would like to see a dark brown paper and a solid teal paper...as for texture...I'm open...

[JenniferG]

Oh yeah! That's right Tina! But what season was it where the evil woman won?

That is one awesome paper!!!

How about a dark brown grungy paper or a paper with the darker blue/teal color with the brown as a scratchy grunge, with faded splotches randomly placed around the background

[idtwinmom]

I agree with you there Christy! Probably the only reason it didn't make Tina's headache worse is that it just wasn't worth thinking about! Love TV shows like that some times.

Tina - just glad you are starting to feel better!

[mcbowersox]

Awww, Tina. . . you do care!

Seriously, I LOVE the stripes! Great colors, great texture!

Fun, fun, fun!

I've never actually watched NTM, I was just giving you a hard time! But trust me, I watch plenty of terrible reality shows (my Mom got me watching Mama's Boys, oh my!).

[handkl]

Love that background!

[idtwinmom]

Gorgeous Tina! Love the texture!

OK, will ask again -Tone on tone with the two blue/greens Dark color with light as pattern

[bamabreeze10]

Beautiful bg paper! welcome back Tina! Glad you're feeling better. I watch ANTM for the photo shoots too. I can't believe the transformations sometimes!

anyhow, i liked the idea for a solid paper with any kind of texture. Maybe something that looks like heavy duty upholstry fabric - not silk. Maybe a grungy paper too? those are ALWAYS fun!

[sandygb]

Love the striped paper. Like Christy, I al also always asking for stripes....LOL.

For some reason, this reminds me of Architectural Digest. I think I'd like to see a paper that is along those lines. Maybe something with a gridded pattern with the grids a bit larger than quadrille paper. Maybe using the 2 shades of gray?

[handkl]

Love this idea Sandy!

[wuvie]

Tina darlin, are you ok?
You have been quiet for to long.
I worry when kids get quiet! :eek:

[JenniferG]

Tina darlin, are you ok?
You have been quiet for to long.
I worry when kids get quiet! :eek:

LOL! When kids get quiet it means one of three things in my house: Either they are asleep or they're doing something they shouldn't be doing or they're absorbed in what they are doing (usually watching a show or playing with their toys very quietly)! With my 2 year old, Alethea, it's usually that she's doing something she shouldn't be doing, and disciplinary action must be taken. :mad: With my 6 month old, it's because God has had mercy on my and she's fallen asleep. :lol::yahoo:

Hope you're ok, Tina. Hope your sickness didn't return...you know, the lull before the storm...

[mariafer]

I have been away but hopefully I am back! I would love to see a white with brown swirls kind of like chandelier pattern or even a cream (tan) and brown in that pattern.

[Tina]

I am in need of a new chair. Desperately. i can barely sit in this one anymore with out my back knotting up. I know its this chair too b/c I sat all day yesterday in a straight backed chair at the book fair at school and never had this problem once. I'm planning to get one Thursday, but in the mean time, I'm a little MIA.

[wuvie]

I understand that, we just had to replace my MiL's chair after way to many years. Her back was also giving her trouble. She had the chair so long that her tiny butt worn an indent in the seat deep enough that she was sitting in a hole and her back was about 8 inches from the back of the chair, so when she leaned back, she made a C. :lol:
We still had to force her to give it up though :doh:

[sandygb]

Oh Tina - that's not good. I hope a new chair gives you relief so you can spend time designing. We NEED you!!!! Feel better soon!

[Tina]

thanks ladies! I'm popping in here and there, but cant sit for hours designing :( Need to get bonuses out tonight!

[JenniferG]

I know what you mean, Tina! We had one of those old, cheap chairs with no armrests and the smal back rest... Finally the backrest broke, so you couldn't lean back. And after sitting in it for about a half hour your butt would start to hurt. LOL! We were going to buy a new one when we found out DH's work was getting rid of some of the office furniture. He brought home one of those really nice leather chairs that lean back and has an arm rest.... It's so comfortable I can be in it all day (which I am just about!)

[mcbowersox]

So we don't go into withdrawal I thought we should all join in on Tina's search for a comfy chair.

So I googled comfy chair and here's what I came up with.

This one is called the Oh Yeah Comfy. . . I'm thinking I'll sit on anything if it's on a beach somewhere. . . .

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/6712/beach-chair.jpg?202

[idtwinmom]

Christy - what a thoughtful thing to do! Looking forward to Tina's feeling better so we can get back to this. Feels like an eternity! But back pain is horrid so I'm really just wanting her to feel better.

:hug: Tina! Get well soon!

[Tina]

Im back with my new chair. My boys put it together last night, and I can already tell the difference! I'll get back to this (designakit) soon, but right now I am behind on freebs. Just finished bonus #1. Still have #2 to do.

[idtwinmom]

So glad you are feeling better!

[Tina]

PS, I WISH that was the chair I was in there by the beach, Christy!

[handkl]

I like Christy's chair suggestion...looks so comfy and warm.

[Raphne]

Oh, I'm glad your chair is helping, Tina! Back pain is THE PITS! And not being able to sit at the computer would drive me nuts. Hope you got some good reading in on your forced break from designing!

[Tina]

ok! freebs bonuses are done and posted, I'm ready to go on this!

[mariafer]

So I think the striped backgrd has been asked for and I thought maybe a swirl backgrd with the two blues would be nice...

[handkl]

I am up for stripes!

I would also like to see the brown as a grungy background with some specks of black in and perhaps a grungy edge

A background in the grey that is fairly plain with irregular dots in the blue.

These were my earlier suggestions!

[mcbowersox]

Of course the stripes! I always have to asks for stripes. It's my mission in life.

But I'm almost not feeling grunge with this one. It feels more polished (is that the word I want?) to me.

But honestly, I have no idea what I'm talking about and I'm sure I'll love anything.

[JenniferG]

Stripes were already made. See Tina's post number 49

[sandygb]

Love the striped paper.

This was my suggestion from earlier....

[idtwinmom]

A tone on tone with the two teal blues, light on dark, swirls would be OK either in the corners or all over.

[mcbowersox]

Thanks Jennifer, I totally forgot!

[shawsi]

ok...well when I look at the chair, I see black background with large dots in all the colors...some may even have rings around them.

I could also see a solid color with machine quilting, maybe on overall swirl, or large flowers, or even a geometric design.

[pinky7]

America's Next Top Model?? OH, Boy! What will they come with next? I just found this thread so I think I will watch for a little while. But I DO like helping!!

[Tina]

I am up for stripes!

I would also like to see the brown as a grungy background with some specks of black in and perhaps a grungy edge

I did this, but added the other colors instead of just the blue

[Tina]

Sandy, why are pics of you in people's sigs??? I've been trying to figure that out for days!

[idtwinmom]

Because Sandy is the Spotlight this month!

Still want that tone on tone, but totally love the bubbles!

[Tina]

OH! LOL! silly tina..

[sandygb]

LOL Tina. It was a surprise to me too. Mandy@netlive made the flair for me. I think she also made one for Kathleen when she was in the spotlight last month. Cute huh!

I LOVE that bubble dot paper. It looks so fun with the stripe! I think we need a couple of mostly solid papers. How about a brown paper with fold lines and a blue paper with a canvas texture - lighter in the center, with edges that are a bit darker.

[mcbowersox]

Oh my! I LOVE that dot paper, Tina! It's so great!

Don't tell anyone, but I might even like the polka dots more than the stripes. . . I didn't think that was possible!

[JenniferG]

Oh Christy, maybe you're converting from stripes to dots! LOL!

The dots look great, Tina!!! I agree with Sandy's suggestions: "I think we need a couple of mostly solid papers. How about a brown paper with fold lines and a blue paper with a canvas texture - lighter in the center, with edges that are a bit darker. "

[Tina]

ok, heres the paper!


http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/../gallery/data/1624/designakit12_3.jpg

[idtwinmom]

Definitely needs the blue now! Tone on tone and canvas texture! (LOL that will satisfy three of us and the tone on tone will be so subtle it will look almost solid!)

[sandygb]

Looking great Tina!!!

[handkl]

Looks fantastic Tina!! I like Lisa's suggestion for a blue background...the kit needs a blue background in my opinon.

[JenniferG]

Looking great so far Tina!!!!

[baflien]

Blue paper could be nice

[dawn-in-nz]

Wow looking fabulous. How about the goldy colour done in something you've never done before, is that possible :).

[Tina]

[tif_gerber]

Lookin' good Tina!!!

[handkl]

How about a collection of 3 different frames in the beige/brown colour that you have in the striped backround (the one that's more of a gold looking beige)?

[wuvie]

Love the dotted swiss paper
Now I am sitting here putting together a layout with it in my mind :think:
The dark brown would make for a nice curled ribbon
or maybe a twine type string with a bow using the beige
Brass or bronze brads like upholstery tacks
Frayed frame with stitching

[sueya]

I'd like to see a beige or dark brown rope.

[JenniferG]

solid dark cherrywood frame with nails or screws in each corner, maybe slightly slanted, with one side slightly larger than the other...

[minnmom79]

a silver frame with brown edges- or something a little beat up

white ribbon with a polka dotted striped center

[Tina]

or maybe a twine type string with a bow using the beige


http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/../gallery/data/1624/designakit12_6.jpg

[JenniferG]

Love that twine Tina!!!!

[handkl]

Love that string and bow!

I am going to alter my request for the collection of 3 frames - I would like them to have a rough paper edge.

I would also like:
1. Overlapping staples
2. A hanging tag with string that can either be stapled or tied on the larger string
3. The colours of this kit are very calming to me - perhaps some relax word art similiar to the line em up or worth repeating sets.

[idtwinmom]

Look at this - get forced away from the computer for a day and this kit is well on its way! Love that tone on tone! :)

I think the frame for this should be a little different - how about felt, maybe in that gold-brown color or the light tan like the string (whichever looks right).
Something that can hang from the string - liked Hannah's idea for a tag, maybe circular!

OK, need to think for a bit, but will be back with more ideas.

[baflien]

How about some buttons?

[handkl]

A gold/brown swirly stamp.

[Tina]

Oh new posts. I was starting to worry the thread got lost.

[wuvie]

It has been a quiet week here hasn't it?
It has been one of them "please end" weeks here :rofl:

Ok lets get back to work :yes:

I am hoping for a tattered water staind paper frame and many some tack type round brads

[shawsi]

You know, I would like a sterling silver frame, or for less formal, a tin frame Maybe it could be rectangle with an oval opening. No rust...

A sprig of violets might be springy, and since we are getting more snow and ice, I would love a breath of spring.

[sandygb]

How about some silver charms to hang on the twine: heart, star, round disc (that we could put an initial on).

[idtwinmom]

You know, I keep thinking that comment that this seemed architectural - how about an element (frame, journal tag, something) that has a grid on it. Maybe in the brown rather than blue.

[handkl]

What about a grid overlay?

[handkl]

Tina, are we not doing tihs right now?

[Tina]

Tina, are we not doing tihs right now?


yep, we are. I should mention that I'm trying (key word trying, tho I succeeded this weekend) not to work as much on the weekend!

My baby only has 3 months of Elementary School left, and then he'll be in Jr. High! Time is slipping by on me!

[Raphne]

How about a slightly battered aluminum frame

a piece of engineering paper (with fine squares, for drafting) for journaling

[idtwinmom]

I like both the grid overlay and the grid journaling paper. Probably don't want both so maybe the journal paper would be best with the papers.

This kit seems to be going sleek rather than grungy, so maybe the silver frame, not frilly, very simple. Brads - square or round and again very simple!

I'm glad you have decided to slow down! Those first kits went by so fast!!!!! :lol:

[handkl]

I hear ya Tina. Although, my boys aren't as old as Tate, I had to register Foxton, my oldest, for kindergarten two weeks ago. I was almost in tears when I walked into the school with him to do the paperwork and have a tour of the school.

Spend as much time as you can with Tate and we totally understand that you would like your weekends for you and your family.

Handing over the mic....

Now back to the kit - I love the silver hanging charm! How about a brad or some overlapping staples in a similar colour?

[mcbowersox]

Wow! Junior High! How fun and sad at the same time!

Good thing for you, though, is that he's a boy and will probably continue to like you throughout his teenage years! Those of us with girls don't stand a chance!

[JenniferG]

Christy, I agree! I only hope that God takes pity on me and gives me a son or two next, to balance out the two girls I have, which are already testing me.

Tina, poor you! Give him lots of hugs...even though he'll think you're "weird or something" for doing it! And he'll probably roll his eyes and say something like, "Come on, Mom." (even though he's secretly happy for such attention-but he'll never tell you that, well, at least not until he's much older.) LOL! Ah, the joys of motherhood.

[Tina]

Now back to the kit - I love the silver hanging charm! How about a brad or some overlapping staples in a similar colour?

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/../gallery/data/1624/designakit12_8.jpg

[Tina]

Kindergarten was SOOOOOO hard for me! Jr High won't be easier, I'll bet and High School? OMG. College??? Pass the Xanax!

I've heard that about girls. lol... good luck!

[idtwinmom]

Well, I managed not to cry when I took the boys to kindergarten (at least not where they could see me), but I barely made it out of the room when we took DD into pre-school for the first time! Just knowing that my baby was 'going to school' was almost more than I could take! And now I learn from you guys that it doesn't get easier!

OK, still want that journal paper and I still think a grid would work with this kit. If you really have to have grunge, maybe a ripped edge.

A simple silver frame, not real frilly, maybe with a place to hang the charm if you don't want to use the string.

I keep trying to come up with another charm like thing, but can't decide what it should be - I know, not a lot of help am I? :lol:

[sandygb]

How did I miss the silver disc charm? I love it!!!

[handkl]

Instead of one frame, what about 3 or 5 overlapping one aanother and then we could use the staples to "attach it to the page".....or a thought as I am typing what about a photo frame with 3 openings?

[shawsi]

OK..you know that porcelain covered metal that came from the 30s or 40s. Sometimes it was called granite ware, but I am thinking about the pastel colored without specks. When it chipped you could see white and then black. How about a frame with a few small chips out of the aqua. Hope you understand what I am talking about.

[baflien]

What about a frame or a piece to journal on?

[sueya]

I think some curly brackets or a chipboard swirl would look good

[moog25]

How about a frame in the olivish green with a groove all around it filled with the twine?
Or maybe a group of round frames connected with the metal loops you attached to the tag? Not lined up exactly, but a bit off center.

[moog25]

I think it could also use some word art. The color scheme is quite relaxing, so perhaps something about relaxation?

[Leea]

I haven't read all of the first 8 pages, so if I suggest something someone else mentioned, just consider mine a "second the motion" :)
how about an envelope?
eyelet trim or border to match the pretty twine

a flower in the blue color...maybe with the tiny dots like the paper?
a chain border across the top, maybe looped (like scallops dropping down every so often) so that the charm can be placed on it?
If you do the envelope idea, maybe a postage stamp style mat or sticker to go with it?...for some reason, I keep thinking of envelopes/letters.

[Leea]

a metal/silver swirl with gems?
a teacup with a design on it?
a floral frame?
blue gems?
and again, if someone's already mentioned these ideas, then I'm seconding them :)

[handkl]

Where are we at with this kit Tina?

[JenniferG]

Tina, how about a frame.... It needs a frame. How about a brushed metal in silver with screws on each corner, either phillips or flat head. And maybe it could be slightly skewed, like one side is a little longer than the rest...

[mcbowersox]

Tina, haven't seen much of you lately. . . I hope you're doing ok!

Hugs!

[handkl]

There has bee lots of suggestions for a frame - could we maybe have a frame with 3 openings that are all vertical? Not sure about the look and texture of the frame...there has been so many different suggestions. How about the a light beige one that looks like paper with a rough edge.

[handkl]

Or chipboard with a rough edge?

[Tina]

howdy ladies! I'm still around. Oddly not always seeing updates for this thread. Didn't think anyone was posting, so I made a new kit, freebs bonus, and a quick click yesterday. lol.

I think we are at 8 pieces (the twine and bow are individual). I'll be out most of today, but will check back in tonight!

Here is the last sample I posted.

[mcbowersox]

Just checked out your new quick click and kit. They look great!

[handkl]

It needs a frame of some sort.

[pinky7]

It needs a frame of some sort.

Yes, I agree! I like multi-frames, so how about one that is made of chipboard, has three sections to it, is grunged up a little like it is worn, is that tan color you can see in the stripe background, is scalloped and has holes cut in the frame (as a decoration for the frame)!

[handkl]

Pinky, that is pretty much what I suggested earlier in this thread.

[Tina]

Here's my take on this. I did 1 frame with 3 skinny sections :) Hope you like.

3 to go!

[JenniferG]

Can we have a scratchy grundge overlay?

And a flower? A teal one with maybe a silver beveled beige or black button (with no holes) for the center? Or vice versa for colors...

[pinky7]

I like those frames! How about a spray of wired beads?

[Raphne]

How about. . . an aluminum clip, like you sometimes see used as bookmarks? Something more functional than fancy, maybe long enough to use for journaling. Maybe a pencil. . . perhaps even a mechanical pencil. A post-it note. A stained paper coaster.

[sandygb]

How about a grouping of buttons in the kit colors, or a row of buttons connected by thread.

[shawsi]

I really like the vertical frames. It would be nice to have a horizontal journaling surface. Maybe some newsprint washed out with inked edges.

That is frame is awesome Tina!!!! Exactly what I had in mind for colour and texture.

Also like the idea of washed newsprint

Can we have a scratchy grundge overlay?

Finally, I second the idea of a scratchy overlay - perhaps a messy grid patter in work in some earlier suggestions.

That's it for me...just seconding other suggestions.

[handkl]

Wow! Tina you are quick...working in a journaling surface before I even second it. LOL

[mcbowersox]

A little more silver

[JenniferG]

I second more silver!

[Tina]

ok, a pop of silver. Now, this is piece #11 only one to go unless you dont want the twine and bow merged. opinions??

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/../gallery/data/1624/designakit12_11.jpg

[handkl]

I would really like a white scratchy overlay.

I say merge the twine and bow....then you could added a blue or teal flower with a silver center.

[baflien]

I third this!

[sandygb]

I forth it. LOL

[sueya]

Like the bling!
Would prefer to have twine and bow separate - more versatile that way.

[pinky7]

I fifth it! and then add the spray or the buttons or a feather! I love to cluster things!

[Tina]

Done! Added the scratchy overlay and the teal flower w/ silver.

ready for names.

Looks awesome Tina!!!

Name Suggestions:
Delight in Blue
Teal Delight
Teal We See You Again

[baflien]

What you can do, is make the twine long so that it is longer than the page. Then people can move it to show the bow or not.

[baflien]

Winter Teal

[wuvie]

Oh wow. loving this!
Tina I am so addicted to your kits :rofl:

Names... :think:

first thing that pops in to my head head is the Teal
it's a favorite of mine

The Feel of Teal
or Teal Steal

[wuvie]

the colors remind me of a Den or Office

how about Mom's Den
or Office Grunge

[Leea]

When I read that the twine and bow were separate, I liked it but I think I'm okay with either way, they can be cropped/some erasing in a graphics program if wanted, right? because I've been wondering if I opened the twine in my graphics program and did a metallic effect if it'd look like a metal chain to put the charm on :) but I also like the twine as it is, so I'd probably try both as it is and metal effects.

[Leea]

the colors look comfortable, so how about Comfort Zone?

[Leea]

first a question..Tina, do you read the e-mail notices that someone posts to the forum or do you check the forum for post (I ask because I read somewhere that it sounded like when edits are made, they don't go out as e-mails...so each time I want to correct something in my name suggestions I make a new post so that if you're reading e-mail notifications only, you'll see it...if you read the posts here, maybe I should just edit the original if I make a change right away? let me know which works best for you...I just noticed that my avator/posts are just one after another the way I've been doing it)
more ideas :)
