I have 4 weeks - can we make 4 kits???????

[Lauren]

I have 4 weeks till I leave for the Adobe crop. --- I figured it might be time to bring back gimme a clue and make 4 extra kits ............- Show me your colours!!!!!!

[jemtred]

YEAH my favourite part of DSP is back! Sorry I never have any colours but I will be around for the rest of it. Thanks for reviving Gimme a clue

[janetklm]

:tup: Yeahhhh!:yahoo: Love the Gimme!!!
I really need a kit to scrap some pics from young men so here´s something for that
http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m200/janetklm/boy.jpg

I love the `summer`kits you did in the past.
It´s summertime overhere, so adding some soft, summer romantic colors

Or how about these

Totally love this one! All hot a steamy! Makes me think fire, summer, and lots of love!

Lets have a few more options before I make my decision

I can just see that as I'm away for the weekend (and have to miss the Gimme Chat :cry:) I'll come back and this will all be done. Have fun.

[stitchmich]

I'll throw a couple in the mix...

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/6848/sunsetswatch.jpg

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/6848/balloonswatch.jpg

[Lauren]

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/6848/balloonswatch.jpg


Ok I LOVE this one!!!!!!!- lets do this!!!!!!!!!!

[Lauren]

Give me ideas for bgs - although I have a few in my head already!!

[stitchmich]

Blue and white swirly cloudy sky paper?
I love hot air balloons (thus the swatch) so I would love to see one included in some way, whether on a paper or as an element.

[stitchmich]

maybe yellow and white stripes, but kinda subtle and grunged up.

[janetklm]

Wonderful colors!
I'd like to see a striped (diagonal)background like the border and one like the background in the photo using both blue colors and some clouds.

[EmmaJean]

OKay, I'm going to jump in here. I've never actually participated in a Clue before, but I always watch them and love what you come up with! So glad you decided to do a few more before leaving for the crop.

I love the striped idea like the border, but maybe that would work better during the elements section as a frame. I think a blue cloudy paper would be nice or maybe a yellow paper with some thin red diagonal stripes.

[EmmaJean]

Or a yellow/red checkered BG like the little flags

[Leea]

blue background with yellow daisies and red hearts?

[Leea]

blue background with swirly blue clouds and yellow/gold stars...like a late evening sky :)

[Leea]

or maybe a swirly blue background (both colors of blue) with yellow/gold stars or maybe a blue watercolor bg :)

[MarsOlson]

white with coloured polka dots

[Marriedin79]

I would like to see a striped paper with the stripes not even, sort of puffed out toward the middle of the page, similar to how the stripes are on the balloon.

[idtwinmom]

I second the blue cloudy BG, maybe with a bit of wrinkle to it, like it's fabric.

It would also be interesting to see what would happen if you did the pink, and then down at the bottom of the photo is a lavender color that was not picked up in the swatch, if that was used for the texture/grunge on the pink. Of course, I'm totally not sure how it would actually look.

[stitchmich]

or maybe a swirly blue background (both colors of blue) with yellow/gold stars or maybe a blue watercolor bg :)

yes, watercolor!

[Fade2Pink]

The 3rd yellow color with a white rim around the edge. The rim would be with rounded edges.

[MarsOlson]

grass

[Lauren]

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/500/Gimme11.jpg

For the many who wanted a cloudy sky!!!!!

[stitchmich]

Wow! that is so pretty!

[mariafer]

I was about to ask for a sky... but since it is done... I am going to join in and say the yellow and white stripes are awesome... And since we have sky can we also have some grass/mountain type background?

[windstorm]

How about a red wrinkled fabric (silk) background -- one that has the look of a draped fabric.

[Sharon1313]

Love the cloudy background... maybe a small checkered pattern using yellow and white?

[happybeingamom]

I am glad Gimme a clue is back

[Lauren]

The 3rd yellow color with a white rim around the edge. The rim would be with rounded edges.

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/500/Gimme21.jpg

[jemtred]

Yay we're off! How about a seriously scrunched up paper in the raspberry colour. All lined and damaged.

[idtwinmom]

Yay we're off! How about a seriously scrunched up paper in the raspberry colour. All lined and damaged.

This with a fabric texture!

[JanP]

Gingham anyone? blue or yellow gingham - and perhaps later some grungy overlays to tone down the bright colours! Love the cloudy bg paper!

[sueya]

Well someone has already suggested gingham so I will suggest pale yellow grungy graph paper or yellow with red polka dots.

[Lauren]

Gingham anyone? blue or yellow gingham - and perhaps later some grungy overlays to tone down the bright colours! Love the cloudy bg paper!

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/500/Gimme31.jpg

[dinaben99]

so glad to see Gimme is back! A lot happens in one day.
How about the red background with some yellow undertones or yellow color muddles, that is in a tissue paper texture that looks like it has been crinkled up and then smoothed out again.

[EmmaJean]

We definitely need a red paper now! How about a red with soft yellow pin stripes?

[Penny M]

I am so glad Gimme a Clue is back. I love to keep a watch on the thread to see how the kit progresses. Though, I'm no good with any suggestions.

[Lynnie]

How about including an overlay with birds on it that could be flying in the sky? That might be a little bit different.

[minnmom79]

The lightest blue with different size red polka dots

[janetklm]

How about including an overlay with birds on it that could be flying in the sky? That might be a little bit different.

Loooove this idea!

[Dani B]

A scalloped border like the scallop that goes around the balloon would be great.

Fasteners or element of some kind made to look like that piece at the top of the balloon or maybe some sort of old fashioned compass.

[Lauren]

white with coloured polka dots

I tried many variations of the red with grungy yellow and in the end I think the red works best as just an accent to the rest so I went with this - time for elements now
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/500/Gimme41.jpg

[littlekiwi]

A hot air balloon maybe

[Lynnie]

Maybe a scallopy blue ribbon - well, not the ribbon itself with scallops, but sort of gathered the way they are around the balloon

Green hills

Birds

Flowers

maybe a hot air balloon shaped frame or two...

[mariafer]

A clip... like a paper clip with something red and plasticy on top... Like enamel or epoxy or something...

[mariafer]

A Tree shaped with circles
A few paper swirls
Some vines with leaves and flowers

[Sharon1313]

Lauren, I'm always looking for interesting frames. Could you maybe make a frame that incorporates a similar stripey edging as in the original picture?

[Marriedin79]

Brad frame using the colors of the dots in the papers you made
Bouquet of balloons
Binder clip(s) - solid colors or decorated with some of the paper themes

[webfrau]

Red ribbon
A yellow flower

[Lauren]

Maybe a scallopy blue ribbon - well, not the ribbon itself with scallops, but sort of gathered the way they are around the balloon

.

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/500/Gimme5.jpg


Here you go!!

[webfrau]

Looking good Lauren - I can't put it on my wishlist before it gets in the store can I? LOL

[jemtred]

Something "wickery" like the basket? Maybe a frame or a corner type thing.

[TalyQ]

A round picture frame with accent colors (reds and blues)

[jemtred]

Forgot to say how great the papers were looking!

[Muma]

Oh Wow ...... this is gorgeous so far. Can not wait to see the whole kit. Lots of suggestions that I would put forward have already been mentioned such as hot air balloon, birds, flowers so I am gonna wait and see how this progresses and I also want a feature to add to my wishlist before it gets to the store LOL

[janetklm]

a striped paper frame (or a double frame) using the red/yellow and blue.

[doda]

Love the yellow and the polka dotted papers!
How about a white washed wickery splintered worn mat? or edge?

[dinaben99]

how about a corner accent that looks like soft shooting starts and fireworks.

[idtwinmom]

Love the bird overlay idea and a wickery looking frame, maybe white. It would also be great to have a few of those yellow rosettes loose that can be used as brads. You could even do them in multiple colors.

[MarsOlson]

wispy clouds, tree tops edge, flying bird, grass/flower edge, kite, paper airplane, small blue bows, daisy, sparkly swirl, balloons tied in a bunch

[Lauren]

Lauren, I'm always looking for interesting frames. Could you maybe make a frame that incorporates a similar stripey edging as in the original picture?

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/500/Gimme6.jpg

[coyotef]

just darling!!! How about a red rider- like wagon? or a reddish journal pad?

[webfrau]

This just keeps getting better. I'd like to see some more red incorporated but I have no idea what or how - that's really helpful isn't it? :)

[janetklm]

Red, bleu and yellow buttons.

[Lauren]

A hot air balloon maybe

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/500/Gimme7.jpg

[mariafer]

How about some red petals flying in the wind. I agree that I would love to see a bit of red but can't think what either... :)

[JanP]

Oooo gingham - thank you Lauren. The scalloped gingham is wonderful too. I've really got left behind - you're going so fast!
What about some corner scrolls or accents od some sort, using the red colour?
Maybe a grungy overlay?
Sorry if I'm repeating - haven't read back.

[JanP]

Maybe a frame using the red - looking like the red dots - sort of grungy?

[JanP]

What about red paper flowers? Maybe with blue or yellow leaves?

[JanP]

A red kite? with the other colours as the bows on the tail?

[JanP]

Pale blue birds flying?

[JanP]

Distant blue hills for use as a lower border?

[idtwinmom]

Distant blue hills for use as a lower border?

Oh, what a wonderful idea! Mix some of the purple into that blue and it would be perfect.

Still want the rosettes as brads too.

[Lauren]

How about some red petals flying in the wind. I agree that I would love to see a bit of red but can't think what either... :)
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/500/Gimme8.jpg

[HeatherH]

How about a coiled/looped red ribbon or string. Also like the kite idea mentioned earlier.

[MarsOlson]

red lollipop

[mcbowersox]

This is gorgeous!

As soon as I saw the hot air balloon I thought of the name "Up, Up and Away"

I LOVE Gimme a Clue! So glad to see one going!

[Sharon1313]

Thanks, Lauren, I love the frame! This kit is adorable.

[Lauren]

wispy clouds, tree tops edge, flying bird, grass/flower edge, kite, paper airplane, small blue bows, daisy, sparkly swirl, balloons tied in a bunch
Kite here !!

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/500/Gimme9.jpg

[Raphne]

Oh, this kit is just adorable!

I know it isn't really in keeping with the swatch, but I think it needs a soft rainbow sort of overlay, like some of the light rays you've done in some of your nature kits

and maybe a playful winged dragon to cavort around that balloon lol

[webfrau]

I think that's possibly the cutest kite I've ever seen. This kit is amazing.

[Dani B]

It needs a happy kid type of sun - you know like you would see a kid draw on their papers in art class. The kind that make even adults smile big.

[jemtred]

I love those red petals! I think we need something hard to set off all the soft elements. I still like the idea of an edge or corner made from wicker or a small wicker fence/border type thing.

[HeatherH]

How about a wicker basket with a handle with an optional floral spray that you could put in the basket or you could use the basket alone and put an extracted photo of a baby, pet, etc. in

[MarsOlson]

flying bird, feather, butterfly

adorable so far!

[sueya]

Paper clip with enamelled bird or butterfly. Enamelled sun shaped brad.

[Lauren]

f butterfly

adorable so far!
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/500/Gimme10.jpg

[honeymoon]

Maybe a red ribbon or a white flower with little red flowers behind it to go with the petals.

[MarsOlson]

oh wow I love the butterfly! that is so pretty!

[LynnT]

I was just gonna say ... butterfly... Lauren you're on a roll! Great kit!

[idtwinmom]

Gorgeous! Love that butterfly!

Something for journaling. A balloon or flower shaped paper, maybe with some depth like it is the top of a note pad.

[mcbowersox]

Maybe another frame with red?

[MurlieMac]

Maybe a red ribbon or a white flower with little red flowers behind it to go with the petals.


I like honeymoons idea or

a circle of just red dots to match the dots on the yellow paper

[MurlieMac]

Forgot to say that I love this kit so far!

[Penny M]

I would love a square 12 x 12 frame to edge a layout just like the rectangular frame.

[Jeanrx]

This kit is so adorable. Can't wait for it to be in the shop.

[Muma]

Wow ..... this is adorable. I so want it.

[Lauren]

light rays like you've done in some of your nature kits



http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/500/Gimme111.jpg

[honeymoon]

Maybe a hearts and flower groupie

[MarsOlson]

this kit fills me with glee! it is so joyful!

[JanP]

Something more in the reds - perhaps a multi frame of some sort?

[Kuka]

This is such a fun project, never seen it before. You are incredible Lauren, the kit exudes softness, but happy noisy glee at the same time. Just love it, the color scheme is wonderful. I I'd lke to see more red, a border and or open swirly strings that can be attached to the balloon strings (or anywhere else) with tiny red flowers to go with the petals as if the petals fall from them.:yippee:

[bludlfn003]

what about a red flower to go with those pedals

[Kathleen]

OK, I am just back from vacation and jumping in way late ... what an adorable kit so far!!!

What about a word cloud (maybe even a bit of a cloud) with words like ... bliss, glee, joy/ful, happy, beautiful.

[stitchmich]

I've been out of touch for a few days... WOW! how exciting to come back and see this delightful kit! I love it!

[Lauren]

Gorgeous! Love that butterfly!

Something for journaling. A balloon or flower shaped paper, maybe with some depth like it is the top of a note pad.



http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/500/Gimme12.jpg

Normally I would ask for suggestions for a name but someone already suggested Up Up and Away and I think its perfect so that will be it ..

Im ready for new colour schemes now - perhaps we could have a christmas toned kit next ready for CIJ?????????

[idtwinmom]

Will try to come back with color ideas soon! Love the kit Lauren!

[HeatherH]

Well this isn't Christmas themed, but I've been struggling to scrap this so maybe I could convince someone to make a kit to match:pray: It would be great for all those who have kids that dressed up as Sheriff Woody for Halloween!
http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/ww216/HeatherHines/CowboySwatchWEB.jpg

Here is an old one I had already...

I thought these swatches looked a bit Christmas-y!

Sorry if I jumped the gun on the name of the last kit. It just kind of jumped out at me!

[Lauren]

Up up and away is now in the store - http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=10806

Free kits go to mariafer and webfrau - I will pm you with links in a few minutes

[HeatherH]

I just put it in my cart! And I think I have some perfect photos! Now it's just the time factor...

[mariafer]

Thank you sooo much! I love the kit...

I like this one - lets do it!

[TalyQ]

I tried this for the first time:

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/7274/CIJ-swatch-talyq.jpg?597

[jemtred]

WOW that was quick! I just pop into see how the kit is going on and we're already on a new one. How exciting.
How about a green paper with darker green hollyleaves embossed (or something) on it.
Or green with gold glittery swirls
Or green with little snowmen like wrapping paper
Yes, I'm feeling the green at the moment

[honeymoon]

Creamy chiffon fabric bg
Green bg with a little red pattern all over it

[Marriedin79]

Paper with sparkly lines in it, sort of how the tree in the background of the photo is lined and sparkly.

[bludlfn003]

what about the bright red with snowflakes embossed onto it.
also a snowy overlay

[mcbowersox]

Maybe a tone on tone red stripe with a bit of sparkle?

I know white wasn't one of the colors, but I love the look of the white fabric in the background. Kind of shimmery white. I could use that for lots of stuff!

[MarsOlson]

sparkly overlay

[MarsOlson]

bough

[idtwinmom]

Don't care which color, but a paper that looks like it has been sponge painted like the snowmen. Doesn't have to be snowmen either, just an allover pattern like a small child would do.

[mariafer]

Yipee! I feel like a winner all over!!! Maybe I should go play the lottery...

Can I add though that the snowmen are actually Adreana's fingers. They are soo cute and come with a poem and all! That was our Christmas gift they did at Mother's Day out...

As for backgrounds... I like the idea of a translucent shimmery paper. I also thought maybe a swirly glittery background with all the colors would be cool. I also like Lisa's idea of a paper with some sponged (or finger painted :) ) snowmen in a corner would be neat.

[Lauren]

As for backgrounds... I like the idea of a translucent shimmery paper.

Well this isnt translucent - but its shimmery
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/500/8july1.jpg

[idtwinmom]

Fabulous start!

Since you used the green, maybe you could do the sponge painted red on cream!

[JanP]

Could you do the same as the green paper with the dark red?

[Donut]

I've got no new suggestions, but I love the ones already made and the colour scheme!

[Donut]

I've got no new suggestions, but I love the ones already made and the colour scheme!

[webfrau]

How about the deep red with spots of the dark blue/grey or swirls like ribbons?

[Tara]

I agree with the white/transulscent shimmery...and a dark blue sparkly one as well.

[LynnT]

What about something a a "sheer" for the cream... but like the light color cream in the picture - like sheer curtains

[Lauren]

Could you do the same as the green paper with the dark red?

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/500/8july2.jpg

What about the red with a touch of pattern..........

[webfrau]

Oooh pretty. Looks good enough to fondle. It should be fabric.
How about a satin in the lightest colour?

[MarsOlson]

ivory and white satin stripes

[webfrau]

Now that's a better idea Mars (and don't say "of course").

[honeymoon]

Absolutely love the red paper.

I was thinking something creamy / champagne type colour, maybe a stripe like Mar's has suggested but with the chiffon as part of the stripe.

Champagney colour foil.

I'm thinking that this kit looks like it's going to "Shimmer and Shine"

[bludlfn003]

what about a striped paper in the green, red, and cream color

[jemtred]

I have to admit I'm really not feeling very Christmassy right now - maybe this is just what I need to get into it!
How about a paper (I dont mind the colour!) which has a bit torn off it like hurriedly opened wrapping paper. Or would that work better as an element?

[MurlieMac]

How about a cream glittery wrinkled fabric like the one the ornament is sitting on in the swatch

[doda]

Beautiful papers so far....

[webfrau]

I have to admit I'm really not feeling very Christmassy right now - maybe this is just what I need to get into it!
How about a paper (I dont mind the colour!) which has a bit torn off it like hurriedly opened wrapping paper. Or would that work better as an element?

That's such a pity. I really hope you can find some Christmas Spirit by July 25th!!!;)

[Lauren]

How about a cream glittery wrinkled fabric like the one the ornament is sitting on in the swatch

Well not wrinkled but glittery
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/500/8july3.jpg

[TalyQ]

I think the dark green would still look pretty, maybe with brushed lighter christmas tree outlines.

[idtwinmom]

Wow, really pretty! And not as far along as I would have thought since I was gone all day!

Since these seem to be really fabric textured, how about a gold satin! And to start off some elements, I think a green and red swirl in glitter. Maybe just a corner, but also could be an overlay edge.

[honeymoon]

Dk green with little holly berries and holly leaves.

[honeymoon]

Actually little metallic holly corners a bit like the ones in Brittany Blues would be beautiful for a Christmas album... so maybe have the holly there rather than the paper and instead have a striped and dotted paper with all the colours in it.

[Lauren]

Since these seem to be really fabric textured, how about a gold satin!

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/500/8july4.jpg

[sueya]

Ideas for elements
Pine Branches
Shiny Baubles
Gold Braid
Sheer gold or green organza ribbon

[nafeesa]

I ditto the organza ribbon idea.

[jemtred]

OOOH swishy papers or should I say fabrics!
Elements hmm - surely we will need a glittery bauble of some kind.
Some christmassy foliage - holly and ivy? - with gorgeous red berries.
I will think of some more - see am getting a bit more into the spirit.

[MarsOlson]

vintage deckle edge paper frames

[MarsOlson]

curling edges knitted strip

[Tara]

Ooooo, this is turning out gorgeous. Definitely some holly leaves or a swag of some sort.
Twinkling white lights would be divine! If no white lights, then I suggest some sparkle flares.

A clear bulb?

It seems we need some dark green and something clear/white sparkle...thus my suggestions. LOVE THIS SO FAR!

[webfrau]

This is going to be so pretty. Christmas in July should give us chance to use it in just a couple of weeks. Yippee!

[LynnT]

round sparkley jewelled frame in diamond, gold, silver.... like the SilveryBlues Kit but with red or green with the design from the patten on the red ppr OR
pine wreath frame OR
striped - of all the colors - lift off the ppr frame

[TalyQ]

A snowman ornament, but frosty.

[nafeesa]

A snowman ornament, but frosty.

That makes me think of a frosted windowpane... with snow on the ledge...

[doda]

A Christmas tree shaped mat or journaling paper with fold lines and a glittery outline about a 1/4 in inside the shape.

[doda]

a strip of ribbon with red and green (or any color, gold only might be nice) triangles (one pointing up one pointing down), they could be glittery. Or just a stamp of alternating triangles without the ribbon.

[MurlieMac]

Ooooo, this is turning out gorgeous. Definitely some holly leaves or a swag of some sort.
Twinkling white lights would be divine! If no white lights, then I suggest some sparkle flares.

A clear bulb?

It seems we need some dark green and something clear/white sparkle...thus my suggestions. LOVE THIS SO FAR!


I love Tara's suggestion about the twinkling lights - maybe you could do an overlay of twinkling lights

Swirls to match the swirls in the red paper (perhaps in a gold color?)

A clear glass ornament

pine boughs with or without twinkling lights

a swirly ribbon

A candle

[stitchmich]

a sparkly overlay

a stack of ribbon pieces stitched together

and I love Tara's idea of twinkling lights

[Dani B]

What about a swirl of organza ribbon across the page, intertwined with tiny sparkling lights, very light and airy looking.

some kind of hanging chains to hang elements/photos

we have so many Christmas kits it would be nice if it wasn't totally christmassy

[Tara]

LOL Mars - I was just thinking we need a silver or gold chain. That would be so pretty!

[doda]

we have so many Christmas kits it would be nice if it wasn't totally christmassy

I agree with Mars :)

[Lauren]

Ideas for elements

Sheer gold or green organza ribbon

Tried sheer and to me these colours are a little more funky and less elegant- the organza didnt really fit so I went with a satinish ribbon instead

[LynnT]

oooohhh I think this is really cool! Christmasey... but I think the translucent bulb (somebody suggested) would be great to hang on that chain

[honeymoon]

A set of different shaped gold frames would be a great add on to this kit as I'm guessing we might only get one here.

[doda]

you've been busy Lauren, looks great.

[Marriedin79]

Love it so far! No suggestions though, for elements to include (having a brain meltdown).

[Fade2Pink]

This is beautiful. I'm thinking a white dove with a trailing ribbon (red?) in it's beak.

[webfrau]

Good to see other people have been working while I have. :) It's looking beautiful
How about a globe ornament to hang from the chain or some other sort of Crystal ornament.

[idtwinmom]

There's a fair amount of gold already, how about a green or red frame, porcelain looking and old and kind of cracked. Oval might be nice.

And a bulb or charm of some sort to hang from the chain, maybe even a silhouette, the old fashioned pins and necklace kind with the white lady on the stone like stuff. (Gosh, I know the name of that and can not bring it from the depths of my mind!)

[Lauren]

Twinkling white lights would be divine!

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/500/8july7.jpg

[idtwinmom]

Love those lights! just the perfect amount of red and glitter!

[Dani B]

Oh I do love these tiny lights !

[nafeesa]

those lights are great!

I ditto whoever said porcelain. I think an oval cracked porcelain frame would be so lovely!

[jemtred]

Great lights and lovely chain. Will need a jewel to hang from it - how about a teardrop crystal or a crystal snowflake?

HOw do you feel about a candle or a candle felt thingy?

[bludlfn003]

a frame in the shape of a snowflake, white and then maybe the edging of the snowflake as the green or red that could also go towards jemtred's idea of a jewel, but it could be a frame that is hung from the chain

[sueya]

Love how this kit is turning out. I agree with the other ideas - would love to see a snowflake charm to hang on the chain.

[EmmaJean]

oooohh, i love it! Could we have a frosted snowman like is painted on the bulb? I love snowmen and I think one with a green hat would look GORGEOUS with this!

[mariafer]

I know you have a fillable snow globe in another kit but how about a decorative small snowglobe for this. Maybe with a snowman (or 2) on the front of the glass (or inside) just something cute.

or how about some glitter... some white or light gold streaks for journaling over or some red or green glitter swirl accents...

[Jeanrx]

This is going to be beautiful. Love the textures in the papers.

[MarsOlson]

a small round gold frame to hang from chain

[MarsOlson]

looping garland

[MarsOlson]

flowers, red and white ones

[MarsOlson]

a sparkly flourish

[nafeesa]

that bulb is brilliantly done! SOOO realistic!

[bludlfn003]

well what about a snowflake overlay. I think that would be really pretty

[Dani B]

I must have this kit when it is ready for the store ! I adore anything in the way of Christmas kits and I work with them all year long to catch up with Christmas photos.

[Dani B]

As an element could we have something that would reflect the date ? Shiny glass and clear that would allow the papers to show through. Maybe with the 25th in frosted letters or gold edged on it. I have a visual on what I mean but not sure how to describe it.

[sailingsue]

A tree to wrap the lights around

[bludlfn003]

A tree to wrap the lights around

I second this. Great idea

[Lauren]

well what about a snowflake overlay. I think that would be really pretty

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/500/8july9.jpg

[jemtred]

So very gorgeous

[MarsOlson]

maybe some greenery like a cedar bough

[bludlfn003]

ooohhhhh I like that.

[Marriedin79]

oooohhhh that is lovely!

[Marriedin79]

How about taking one of those snowflakes from the overlay to make a pendant to hang on the chain?

[LynnT]

I was going to suggest some icicles.. the kind you put on a tree (not that I'd use it-but you never know) but maybe a sparkly gold hole punch thingy might be better

[Lynnie]

Snowflake confetti or other christmas shape confetti
a big sparkle flare
something to journal on (prob a curled strip of some kind)
Poinsetta cluster - maybe fake red velvet with delicate gold edges
Greenery (as per mars' suggestion)
Title (such as Magical!)

Gorgeous, Lauren - this is absolutey outstanding!

[idtwinmom]

I would still love a porcelain frame, Oval or Round. I'm thinking green as the kit now seems to be mostly the gold, with lots of crackle to it.

This is so gorgeous and very elegant! Love it!

[Tara]

Soooooo pretty!

A green velvet ribbon
A curled cream journaling paper with some sort of dark green border (a fancy one)
I guess I just think we need something with dark green!

[Lynnie]

I love Tara's idea of the cream journaling paper (or strip) with a dark green edge - Maybe even sort of a smeared dark green edge with a rough line of gilt around the very edge

[mcbowersox]

We're going to need an element set of things to hang from the chain!

[idtwinmom]

We're going to need an element set of things to hang from the chain!

That could be kit 3!

(BTW - welcome back! Hope you are feeling better.)

I wonder if this is what you were thinking of

[mcbowersox]

Love the date element, Lauren! Wonder if there's a way we could hang it from the chain?

[Dani B]

Its perfect Lauren, and I love that it looks like glass too! :tup:

[webfrau]

This is another of those kits requiring pre-store wishlisting. It is gorgeous.

[honeymoon]

Beautiful.

A red flower (poinsetta? rose?) with little creamy flowers and swirly green leaves the same as the swirl on the red paper.

[jemtred]

I usually hate Christmassy things (BAH humbug!!) but this is just so gorgeous!

[jemtred]

Forgot to say I'm off on holiday for the next 2 weeks so I will miss the next 2 kits. Almost wanted to stay home for this.... Maybe you will consider bringing back Gimme a Clue Lauren as its so popular this time. Please.....:pray::pray:

[Lauren]

A tree to wrap the lights around

thanks, I wasn't expecting to get such a gift. YAY!!!

[honeymoon]

Does that mean we are up to colours again... I have a new set on the computer at home (I'm sneaking this message in at work).

[mariafer]

I LOVE that tree... I don't feel very christmasy yet but I might have to buy it none the less...

[idtwinmom]

Wow! That turned out soooooo gorgeous! And I missed most of it! Darn unpacking is ruining my online time! (And I swore I was not going to buy any more Christmas kits, but this one goes right on my wishlist!!!!!)

[Seagal]

Wow! 2 gorgeous and very different kits so far! How about one of these color schemes for the next one?

Since I still can not access my color swatches (:( my good computer needs a little repair so I still can't use it!) I'm going to vote for this one. Although there are several I really like!

[Lauren]

I love some of those colours but I'd like to do a naturish kit next so I'd like some natural colours and inspiration.

[stitchmich]

Here is a naturish one I love.
