How about some word art, 'Throw your cares to the wind"
or a bg with brush strokes that look like grasses blowing in the wind.

[ebears]

love the idea of cats tails blowing in the wind - how about some wind chimes.

Beautiful browns and blues makes me feel all naturey!! how about sea-shells? Leaves - dead ones strewn around or live ones growing up the side - you know me I'm not fussy as long as I get my foliage! A nice swirly edgy thingy - ah I see you already have one!!!

I did cattails in the feeling hoppy too kit, do we want some more? Definitely going to do the wind chimes. Great idea!

Oh well, don't guess we need more. I was trying to think if we had any before I suggested it, and even went back to the Seaside Stroll kit to look if there were any in there, just didn't look in the right place. :D

I've been wanting a doodled border. Nothing elaborate, just like a hand drawn border that goes aroung the whole page, half inch or so from the edge, maybe with a little loop in the corner or broken up with some dots or something to make it less plain. I hope that made sense.

[MurlieMac]

Okay, I'm full of ideas for this one.

An old windmill

A cloth or flag flapping in the breeze. If it's cloth it could be kind of tattered and attatched to an old pole of some kind.

A piece of the background paper that has ripped and is being blown across the rest of the page. Kind of like the folded corner thing only larger like the upper quarter of the page (Don't know if that makes sense to you but I see if perfectly in my mind)

A ripped hole in the middle of the page.

An overlay of wind lines, strokes, swooshes (I'm not quite sure how you'd do that though)

Milkweed plant, pods and/or seeds like:

ooooh I have some windmill pictures from Gardner Villange. Crys and Sands do too. LOL Oh but that means I have to DRAW a windmill. :eek: Hmmmmmm.

[Scrapping4Him]

a swirling cloud of dust would be cool.

[Scrapping4Him]

LOL everytime I think of this kit I think of the song "Dust in the Wind" by Kansas - that's what prompted the swirling dust cloud.

[Scrapping4Him]

a bg paper with a field of blowing wheat or the same weed in the kit

[puffinliz]

How about a text path that resembles wind blowing? Swaying grass and cattails.

Love these ideas from MurlieMac!!!!!!

If nothing else, I would definitely like to see the cloth tattered flag attached to the pole.

In light of the beachy possibilities of this kit, I would like to see some starfish and shells.


Didn't quite catch the theme of this kit at first, but after viewing some of the already finished layouts, I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks, Christine!!!

Oh I love that song. It's on my IPOD.

[stitchmich]

Okay here are my ideas...

A mask, since they are so wildly popular right now, in the same grungy swirly style as the overlay.

definitely a swishy swirl element blowing across the page like the wind

A hot air balloon?

Sand dune with blowing grass?

[Scrapping4Him]

Sand dune with blowing grass?


:tup::tup::tup::tup::tup: I really like this idea! :D
