This is such a " scrappable" photo I HAVE to choose this one .
SOO we need a swatch to work with - -- make your swatch suggestions

( JUst a note when we come to kit piece suggestions - I want to make the kit as " usable" as possible to as many people as possible so lets keep the suggestions generic and not " bath" or painting" oriented.

With this challenge MonroesDragonfl will get a copy of the kit at the end - and 2 other participants drawn from a random draw also will get a copy

[pinky7]

Just waiting for you to pick one out, Lauren!

[Lauren]

Ok well while I like the 2 schemes presented I see this more of a brighter kit so I think we will go with this colour scheme
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/500/Untitled-183.jpg

Now what sort of backgrounds shall I make.......

[Kathleen]

Good scheme, Lauren!

How about a spatter background, I was thinking black with splatters.

or ... a natural fiber paper, with flecks of the other colors like they were colored fibers.

[Shana34]

I love that scheme! How about a background with paint splatters and handprints like on the walls of the tub?

[pinky7]

Well, you haven't done a striped bg lately and I love your stripes! :rolleyes:

[Lauren]

Good scheme, Lauren!

How about a spatter background, I was thinking black with splatters.



Are you ready - ??- put your sunglasses on...........

[Lauren]

Here it is - told you it was bright - but you know I think I quite like it - will have to make sure the other backgrounds arent QUITE so out there..........
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/500/Gimme14.jpg

[Scrapping4Him]

WOW :cool: That's bright! I think a solid paper in either the red or green color with bold paint brush swipes in varying angles would go well with this.

[windstorm]

Sunglasses on!

Black background with dots/circles (but maybe not so bright lol).

[Shana34]

Ah I love that BG! Definitely need a more subtle one though! LOL Maybe the cream with some faded hand prints?

[TalyQ]

I vote for solid coordinating background with just a hint of texture or paint strokes.

[pinky7]

WOW! Now my stripes won't do at all! OK, A burlap texture with one of the solid colors or colours. LOL

[windstorm]

how about a plain black/solid color with lots of texture and fibers

[Lauren]

WOW! Now my stripes won't do at all! OK, A burlap texture with one of the solid colors or colours. LOL

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/500/Gimme22.jpg

[shazzt]

Oh now this is fun - very boy friendly (and what a great photo!!) I would love a black background with some kind of thin graphicy type pattern. Yeah -I know - clear as mud :)

[MarsOlson]

white textured bg with inky/grungey coloured edge :cool:

[monroesdragonfl]

I love the colors, so great. I like the solid with texture idea. Ok off to take kids to school I will check in later, have a great day.

[MurlieMac]

An orange grunged-up BG

A black background with flecks of all the different colors in it

[Fade2Pink]

Orange bg with stripes in black and green and white

[pinky7]

Beautiful! OK, how about a white with microthin orange graph paper lines!

(Mars, what are you doing up at 3:30 in the morning?)

[Jill W]

I'd love to see the graph paper like Pinky mentioned! :tup:

[Kathleen]

Something lighter, maybe the neutral color with green into it somehow (very subtle) - either flecks, some sort of a stamped/grungy pattern, or maybe that handmade look.

[minnmom79]

a red or orange background with little dots- black or tone on tone

[Lauren]

Something lighter, maybe the neutral color with green into it somehow (very subtle) - either flecks, some sort of a stamped/grungy pattern, or maybe that handmade look.

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/500/Gimme32.jpg

[littlekiwi]

Great kit so far!

I'd like a bg in the orange color but not sure what type though

[bludlfn003]

What about a harlequin in the orange, all textured up.

[Fade2Pink]

The orange background with large circles in each of the other colors, edges of the circles touching the next one.

[Raphne]

a grunged up orange harlequin pattern tone on tone fading in and out

[Kathleen]

Orange on neutral, like you dragged a fine comb through wet paint with a bit of side to side motion.

[honeymoon]

Love these colours.

Black with stripes of the other colours

Orange paper with the same coloured dribbles going down the page, a bit like you've just brushed the second coat of paint on and it's dribbling donw the wall.

Black with a multicoloured paisley pattern.

[wuvie]

oh I am so in to orange lately, this one is going to be at top of list!
How about solid orange with a texture of canvs or linen

[Fade2Pink]

Since this is a "painty" look/feel, what about the red background with drips of pain in black, white, orange, green "dripping" down the paper.

[webfrau]

orange background with black grungy edges.

[Lauren]

Oh now this is fun - very boy friendly (and what a great photo!!) I would love a black background with some kind of thin graphicy type pattern. Yeah -I know - clear as mud :)

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/5605/Gimme42.jpg

[Shana34]

I like so far! As far as elements, how about a multi-colored handprint in the bright paint colors?

[Lynnie]

Hi - I'm thinking...
graphicy concentric circles
or maybe a funky black and white frame accented with the colours

[shazzt]

How about a couple of painted handprints? I tend to take inspirations literally :)

[webfrau]

A paint splattered frame.

[Lauren]

funky black and white frame accented with the colours

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/500/Gimme51.jpg?573

[webfrau]

The more I look at that photo the more I think a scrubbing brush is required - not very helpful for a layout but that bathroom definitely needs it! :)

[Lauren]

Just remember Im trying to keep this kit as generic as possible so keep your suggestions in that light as much as you can - try not to take the photo to literally

[chanmansmom]

Oh how about a swirly grungy overlay

[chanmansmom]

doodle stamps

[chanmansmom]

wire & beads with the bright matching colors

[chanmansmom]

Oh I know~

hanging beads!!

[Fade2Pink]

An artist's pallet with splotches of all the colors

[Scrapping4Him]

hmmmm - that fabulous frame makes me think of mosaics - how about pieces of broken glass tiles that could be sprinkled around the page like glitter

[TalyQ]

I am thinking of something that can be hung from the frame - beads were a good suggestions, but maybe also some paper tags or some metal (but colored) litle tags of plates for journaling names and dates. Like three - each in different color.

[littlekiwi]

what about a painted or inked edge overlay of some sort

[MarsOlson]

coloured round shoelace cord with enameled charms in various shapes to string on it

[MarsOlson]

plastic flowers

[Lauren]

Oh I know~

hanging beads!!

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/500/Gimme61.jpg

[Raphne]

oh, how much fun are those, Lauren???? Love the screw look :-)

I know you don't want to be too "themed", but how about an orange paint or glitter spill?

Maybe some balloons

for some reason, I see a raffia bow wrap with that frame. . .

[webfrau]

Excellent springy things - love them.

A shaped border strip - perhaps with holes in it that could be used as frames or for decoration?

[quanita]

I love those bead dangles too, very cool... its very difficult not to think along the lines of painting or cleaning or bathroom, but I think a journalling element can fit all... What I was thinking was along the lines of a card that would be stuck beneath the paintings in an exhibit say crossed with and 'ex libris' book feel - a cataloguing card?

yay, I thought that sounded clear in my head, now I typed it sounds loony
... lol... moving along, if you could live in my head, it was a great idea :rofl:

[honeymoon]

A fan of paint colours... you know like the Resene colours... it could show hints of other colours schemes and be open at this one. Or actually it could be open at the grey frames... so you could put multiple photos in it, with a great big screw or split pin in the end.

[pinky7]

I love the idea of hand prints! You could make them as brads to secure things!!

[Sharon1313]

Paint splatter to journal onto...

Some words typed like a labelmaker onto little tags...

[Fade2Pink]

Oooh, thought of something fun, those bright colors as photo corners.

[Shana34]

oh that's an awesome idea. Photo corners would be awesome. Any color, or maybe the black with paint splotches like the one bg?

[MarsOlson]

yarn ties or loopy bows

[MarsOlson]

metal flowers

[tape]

funky wings

[Lauren]

how about an orange paint or glitter spill?

.

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/500/Gimme71.jpg

[HeatherH]

A looped ribbon or string
doodled flowers
some sort of WA title-something with the word "color" in it

[littlekiwi]

flowers or word art (maybe a quote about color or something)

[webfrau]

A screwed up bit of notepaper - like you find in boys pockets along with the rubber bands, string, broken pens and mangled pencils. (Guess who did the washing today :))

[Kathleen]

someone said raffia earlier, and I think I might agree, add a bit of that earthy tone. Alternatively, some orange ric rac.

A group of metal flowers, kind of mesh like.

Distressed metal set of brackets, maybe with some stamped holes around the edges.

[littlekiwi]

a journalling stamp or spot

[TalyQ]

I still think some colorful metal tabs, maybe several bunched up together for dates and mames would look great.

[pinky7]

Alternatively, some orange ric rac


Now that's an idea! Tied in a knot somewhere near the middle!

[windstorm]

I like the metal tab idea.

[Lauren]

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/500/Gimme81.jpg

[Shana34]

How about a bright button or brad holding cascading ribbons?

[littlekiwi]

some colored staples or brads

[HeatherH]

Distressed chipboard flowers or stars

staples

I also like the yarn or ric rac idea

[Lauren]

Hi - I'm thinking...
graphicy concentric circles


http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/500/Gimme101.jpg

[littlekiwi]

Looking good - I can't really add any more new suggestions as it all looks so good now

[honeymoon]

A bright red or orange gerbera with spiky green leaves or fruit salad plant style leaves.

[honeymoon]

Hmmm... now that the circles have been added... I'm not so sure about the gerbera.

[Lauren]

A looped ribbon or string


http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/500/Gimme112.jpg

[littlekiwi]

Not sure what I would use this kit for but I am definitely buying this one

[Kathleen]

For some reason, I keep thinking more orange! How about a part of orange paper, to go either vertical or horizontal, with a curled/wrinkled/crumpled edge.

[MarsOlson]

awesome! this kit has really taken on a rich funky warmth so different than expected from the photo!

maybe something to layer like a cardboard mat

I thought Id typed this already but i have my fingers in way too many pies this morning!!- I find it really interesting you see this as autumn themed cause I really dont see it that way at all!!- maybe its because you are coming into fall and we are going into spring - although I certainly dont see it as spring themed ( apart from the actual springs!!!!) - anyway I thought about combining a few of the suggestions into
Color me Bold. - I think that works well dont you?????

[wuvie]

LOL I was going to say Color me, but I didn't want to reuse the Color Me name.

I love the name and the kit, will get it as soon as it hits the store. :yes:

[Dani B]
