Gimme a Clue - Your photo again

[Lauren]

I've spoken to Tina and she's keen to be involved with this again - so post your photos and we will choose one for the next round of kits . (If you want to include a colour scheme with your photo then go ahead)!

[Shana34]

This is a picture I took on the fly. My niece and nephew were in the apple bins so I couldn't take what I would have liked, but I'm hoping to go back tomorrow for some pics. I did a more autumn color scheme from it.

This is one of the first photos taken with my new lens. Love the bright colors!

[Tina]

I'm actually going to throw one of my own photos up here, what do you all think?

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/../gallery/data/1624/ScreenHunter_53_Sep_22_14_37.jpg

[shazzt]

Now I feel hungry Tina!!

[janetklm]

Me too!!!!! :)

[Kathleen]

Tina, I want to know what those delectable looking bites are, and how you make them!!

[Lauren]

Well my mouth might water all through the making of this kit but dont you love Tinas colour scheme too as well as her photo?- shall we go with her photo this time???????

[bludlfn003]

I love Tina's color scheme. And it makes me very hungry.

[Shana34]

I love Tina's photo and I think we should use it! :D

[Tallie]

I'm hungry too --- how about an aqua grungy paper with a paisley print paper in brown or cream?

[Tina]

Tina, I want to know what those delectable looking bites are, and how you make them!!

mmmmmmmmmmmm Puffins.

Also known as Pancake Muffins. Some are plain and some are choco chip. They are mini muffins. The recipe makes 24. Will be quick and easy to pop in the micro before school. Much better than frozen pancakes!

Recipe:

http://www.bakerella.com/mini-maple-pancake-muffins/

[wuvie]

Thank you Tina for the Recipe :love1:

[Shana34]

Man I want some puffins now! LOL Thanks for the recipe Tina! :D

[Dani B]

OMG I have been trying so hard to stick to my diet, between the photo of grapes and Tina's muffins I am done for - lol

[Lauren]

And I think we have a name for the kit already - how cute is the name puffin muffin!!!!

[Shana34]

That is adorable! I can so see some sprinkles and chocolate chips with that name! :D

[honeymoon]

Named already... I have been busy away from the site.... and it's named already.

So bg's?

Muffin textured in the goldy colour with touches of brown around the edges.

One of the blue colours with swirls of chocolate/maple syrup brown all over it.

Actually the dark blue with the light blue stamped over it could look good.

Off to speed scrap now.

[Fade2Pink]

Tina - the light yellow with grungy look, kind of like the texture/look of the muffins

Lauren - The light teal with some diagonal stripes in the darker teal and darker brown.

[Tina]

Tina - the light yellow with grungy look, kind of like the texture/look of the muffins


my 1st paper

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/../gallery/data/1624/GimmeAClue_1.jpg

[Dani B]

Great color paper, how about an overlay to give a toasty look to the edges or maybe the second paper can be in that toasty look or texture ?

[TalyQ]

A paper that is inspired by the plate - either stripes of the darker and ligther teal/turquise or even circles

[Lauren]

I'm hungry too --- how about an aqua grungy paper with a paisley print paper in brown or cream?

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/500/Gimme16.jpg

[pinky7]

Tina - a striped BG using the two teals, and the yellow in various different widths

Lauren - a grungy burlap light brown BG

[Shana34]

How about a tan bg with the dark brown spots kind of like chocolate chips? Or maybe a dark brown background with the tan and teal raked through it?

[chanmansmom]

Tina's photo & colors look Yummy!

[chanmansmom]

this is looking amazing! The colors are stunning.Puffin Muffins~great name too..

[lookthrshegos]

Lauren, A background in the darkest blue with some embossing on it. Perhaps a swirly curly something.

[Fade2Pink]

Lauren - beautiful paisley looking paper. The colors are yummy. I am thinking of a textured background, like how a textured painted wall would look. Color wise, I'm not picky ;)

Tina - the yellow is awesome. What about a weave type design with the different colors of teal?

[Tina]

What about a weave type design with the different colors of teal?

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/../gallery/data/1624/GimmeAClue_2.jpg

[lookthrshegos]

That's pretty, Tina!!!!!
Lovin' these colors!!!!!!

[Lauren]

Ok so I cheated and didnt really use any of your suggestions but i liked Tinas yellow paper so much I had to make one myself
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/500/Gimme23.jpg

[Tallie]

Love the paisley paper, Lauren - just what I was imagining - only better! You rock! And the yellow one is great too!

[Tallie]

An airy (burlap weave) dark brown paper, maybe with a curled corner?

[Scrapping4Him]

okay so the waffle on the syrup bottle is making me want a waffle paper :lol: so this is a suggestion to either of you, maybe in a golden brown color

[Fade2Pink]

Lauren, what about the dark brown, with the lighter brown with coffee like rings.

[Lauren]

An airy (burlap weave) dark brown paper, maybe with a curled corner?

No curled corner but may be I can make a curled corner as an element
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/500/338.jpg

[Shana34]

Love the papers so far! Can't wait to see this develop!

I would love to see the roseish-brown color as a background with a muted pattern in the dark teal and brown. :D

[Tallie]

I'd like to see a soft aqua crinkled paper or that darker green crinkled paper -- or maybe a blend of the aqua and darker green.

[Tallie]

How about a soft aqua and green striped paper? Maybe with a tiny yellow stripe thrown in every 3rd stripe?

[uk_jw]

i like the idea of a paper with some edging like the plate a lighter and darker colour of the same shade maybe yellow and golden brown or the blue / teals? Guted I am not about over the weekedn to see this develop

[Tina]

I'd like to see a soft aqua crinkled paper or that darker green crinkled paper -- or maybe a blend of the aqua and darker green.


here you are :)

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/../gallery/data/1624/gimmeaclue2_3.jpg

[wuvie]

something in a brown marble

[honeymoon]

Tina - Caramel colour with circley starbursts of the other colours... overlapping.. different sizes.

Lauren - dark blue with swirls of the brown or caramel on it. Or maybe a bg of mother of pearl.
I'm thinking that this kit would go well with Forgotten Roads... and so in advance asking for a 6x4 frame in the same metallic style of that kit.

[TalyQ]

Cream paper with brown swirls or the opposite, brown with swirls
Something that picks up the waffle effect - like a kitchen towel in the pink

[Scrapping4Him]

okay I'm going to get ahead of the game and suggest an element already because I thought it up this morning.

A pat (square) of butter that sizzling in a fry pan with all its cool bubbles. Now I'm too lazy to get a fry pan out and get a photo for ya but you all are way better cooks than I am so I know you'll have no problem knowing the look I'm thinking of. I'm thinking of just those cool bubbles but hey if one of these kits goes the route of baking type elements, the pat of butter would be cool to have in there too.

[Tallie]

A dark green stripe paper?

[Lauren]

I was sure someone asked for a bg in the browny biscuity colour - cant find that suggestion now but heres the paper - ready for elements now
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/500/Gimme42.jpg

[Shana34]

Gorgeous papers, Lauren. How about a beaded wire with some homemade like beads in the teal and brown?

[Kathleen]

Lauren, using the chocolate chips as inspiration, a scattering of little rusted brads.

[TalyQ]

A frame inspired by the bowl - rounded corners, darker on the outside, lighter on the inside.

[Kathleen]

As a side note, I woke up this morning and decided Puffins were just what was needed! But have no buttermilk in the house. Definitely going shopping today and will get some, and make them tomorrow morning. Maybe with blueberries!

[Tallie]

I'll be sure and stop in Kathleen!

How about a twisted or knotted irridescent aqua or green ribbon?
Or a creamish raffia love knot?

Tina, I'd like to see a sort of twisted rope in cream or brown frame.

[Lauren]

Tina - Caramel colour with circley starbursts of the other colours... overlapping.. different sizes.

Lauren - dark blue with swirls of the brown or caramel on it. Or maybe a bg of mother of pearl.

You are right Fiona it does go pretty well with Forgotten Roads (http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_18&products_id=9807) - here is your 6x4 frame

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/500/Gimme52.jpg

[romey]

Perhaps a decorative vine with small dark yellow flowers!

[Lauren]

Gorgeous papers, Lauren. How about a beaded wire with some homemade like beads in the teal and brown?

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/500/Gimme62.jpg

[honeymoon]

Lauren - Thank you for the frame.

How about a strip of swirly mother of pearl... a bit like on Miley Cyrus's guitar (I'm sure you've got a picture of this somewhere in your house).

[Tina]

sorry I've fallen behind, my best friend was in a car accident last night, she's ok, a broken ankle that had to be repaired in surgery... but I couldnt work last night worrying, and today I spent the day making food for her and fam, and now tonight i had to go and 'beautify" my niece for homecoming. I'll be back on it soon!

[Shana34]

I'm glad she's ok, Tina! I understand how you couldn't work. It's hard when you have things going on!

[Shana34]

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/500/Gimme62.jpg

TY Lauren! It's beautiful! :D

[TalyQ]

I think that we need more dark teal accents - how about a ribbon, some fabric flowers or some fasteners?

[Tina]

As a side note, I woke up this morning and decided Puffins were just what was needed! But have no buttermilk in the house. Definitely going shopping today and will get some, and make them tomorrow morning. Maybe with blueberries!

I just used plain milk in my Kathleen :)

[pinky7]

Lauren,
Rather than staples, maybe you could do hooks and eyes as a fastener!

[pinky7]

Tina,
I think you need something with the tan color, maybe tan background with the dark color edging---kind on like the outside of the masks (http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_137_136_141&products_id=10154) they are making right now, only reversed with the dark part of the mask coming into the frame, ( I know, clear as mud, right?)

[Lauren]

[Tina]

someone asked for the brown paper with the other colors in it...

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/../gallery/data/1624/gimmeaclue2_4.jpg

[jessjgh1]

As a side note, I woke up this morning and decided Puffins were just what was needed! But have no buttermilk in the house. Definitely going shopping today and will get some, and make them tomorrow morning. Maybe with blueberries!

LOL, I love just looking through these and noticed this. We rarely have buttermilk but I've been told to add about a Tablespoon of lemon to a cup of milk and let it set for about 5 min for substitute buttermilk. The other day we were out of lemon, too, so I used a little vinegar.

I love the colors in this kit. Making me feel like sitting down and cozying up with a cup of tea and making me imagine a steaming kettle on a rustic stove.

Jessica

[Kathleen]

Lauren, love the little brads. Tina, love the brown paper, too!

Tina, if you are ready for elements, using the pattern in the brown paper, could you use those flowers for inspiration for photo corners in some sort of metal?

Lauren, some sort of tag that would hang from the wire element.

We did make puffins this morning for breakfast and they were yummy! Some plain, some chocolate chip, some with blueberries (they were my favorite). Delaney thought the dunking in syrup was pretty good! I did take pictures ... will have to post later.

[MarsOlson]

glossy enamel flower/leaf in plate colours

[Tina]

I will try blueberries for myself, but Tate doesn't like them. I'm going to try a mashed up banana too for banana bread pancakes!

I'm making these up on sunday now, and bagging them for the week, then I just pop a few in the micro and boom, Tate's breakfast is done. Much better than the nasty frozen pancakes he usually eats!

[Tallie]

I made Puffin Muffins this morning, too -- instead of choc chips, I used white choc chips and added chopped walnuts. Think I'll try dried cranberries and chopped pecans next time. YUM.

[Shana34]

Wow you guys are making me hungry and I LOVE how everyone is doing different stuff with the puffins. Definitely one to put in the recipe book I plan on making (I need to do it! LOL)

[Kathleen]

Funny, Delaney loves blueberries, but doesn't want them in pancakes of puffins (this was even before she was introduced to the possibility of chocolate chips in them), and I don't like blueberries plain, but love them in pancakes and muffins. Go figure!

We had left overs this morning, and I popped one in my mouth for a tasty afternoon snack!

Tina, hope your friend is on the mend soon!!

[sueya]

Tina -would like to see brown enamel frame
Lauren - Paperclips with enamel top in blue or yellow,blue ribbon

[lookthrshegos]

Lauren, Some blue medium flowers and some small buttery yellow filler flowers

[Tina]

Perhaps a decorative vine with small dark yellow flowers!

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/../gallery/data/1624/gimmeaclue2_5.jpg?961

[TalyQ]

That's wonderful Tina, how about a porcelain oval frame with a teal stroke?

[Shana34]

Oh Tina I love that vine! How about a teal frame kind of like the plate?

Lauren - maybe a leather fastener with a rusty brad?

[Betsyfru]

OOOH, I can't wait to use these kits! Lauren's Rusty Tole Alpha is going to look wonderful with them!

[Lauren]

how about a ribbon, some fabric flowers

I tried all shades of the teal but in the end the dark brown looked the best I think

[lookthrshegos]

Lauren- How about some rusted leaves to go with the flower for clustering

[romey]

Tina--LOVE what you have done so far...What would you think of a dragonfly brad with
bright jade jewel eyes. [I had dozens of them flying over our small pond today. They look so magical!]

[>>aruaL<<]

Tina, DD wishes for you to be a SHOE designer... she shopped all weekend for some colored shoes (she wants color, funky, unusual...) to go with her homecoming dress, and she wants teal ones, like that frame you just made up there! She said "Tina picks awesome colors, she'd make a great shoe designer" ... LOLOL!!!

[honeymoon]

Loving these...

Lauren - leaves or vine in the same metal as the frame - bit like the ones in Tuscan Meadows

Tina - torn corrugated cardboard corner... to add a different texture.

[Shana34]

Oooh looks beautiful guys! :D

[Lauren]

Lauren- How about some rusted leaves to go with the flower for clustering

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/500/Gimme113.jpg

I did 2 sets of leaves - we need one more element - needs something to tie it all together - im thinking a border or some dangly beads or something ....... just not sure what

[chanmansmom]

Lauren~How about an overly of leaves or a stamp journaling mat.

[Shana34]

I like the dangly beads idea! You can never have enough beads! :D

[chanmansmom]

Love somthing dangly! Beads, or maybe some leaves & beads

[chanmansmom]

how about some dangly brown glassy beads~

[Tina]

no one actually asked for this, but I too added a flower (leaves are attached)

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/../gallery/data/1624/gimmeaclue2_7.jpg

[wuvie]

you two work well together. Both of these are coming along beautifully.

Lauren - Amber glass beads on a chain, with a metal brad to match frame?

[wuvie]

Tina - a clip and torn/curled corner?

[TalyQ]

Wonderful kits!

Lauren - maybe an overlay for just one side consisting of tiny flowers with beads - or the dangling beads as you said

Tina - some kind of strip of something, either a ribbon (cream or brown) or a piece of creamy paper for journaling

[honeymoon]

Lauren - Either a simple wire metal page frame... in the same metal as the picture frame, or some a satin ribbon frame that each side goes off the edge of the page and is stitched in the corners.

[Betsyfru]

a border to match the frame

[pinky7]

Tina,
You need something to journal on ... maybe a tan paper with crinkles around the edges

[pinky7]

Lauren,
Dangly, huh? How about a border shaped like s-shaped s hooks, and have beads on the wires

[Tallie]

Tina - how about a piece of velum for journalizing, maybe a little ragged around the edges? OR a luggage tag trimmed in one of the colors (like the teal frame or dk brownish-rust) for journalizing?

Lauren - how about a luggage tag for journalizing like the buckle strips you made? I might also suggest a sheer brown ribbon maybe with a twist or a bow?

[Lauren]

Love somthing dangly!

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/500/Gimme122.jpg

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/../gallery/data/1624/gimmeaclue2_10.jpg

[chanmansmom]

Those silver leaves & dangly leaves are stunning!

[TalyQ]

Tina, something round - hm, an ornament of sorts or a tag.

[pinky7]

Tina
How about a pearl brad the shape of one of the patterns in the brown paper or a circle of pearl brads?

[pinky7]

Lauren,
Rustic Autumn

[Lauren]

I actually took Fionas " road" idea but changed it up a bit and decided on Crossroads

[Tallie]

Tina -- a twisted or curvy ribbon-like row of seed pearls

[sueya]

A beaded paperclip would be good Tina

[Tina]

Tina

[pinky7]

Beautiful kits, ladies!

[Tallie]

Both are lovely, lovely kits; it's always fun to see them develop. Thanks ladies. Just wondering who won the kits this round? And are we going to do another Gimme?

[Lauren]

Winners of my kit were chanmansmom and wuvie - if you pm me i will send you a link to the kit.
Im not doing another gimme right now because Im having to leave my house for a few days this week while the builders do some heavier work , also participation hasnt been that great for the last few of these and it makes it very slow when no ideas are forthcoming . SO perhaps we can do it again at a later time when less is going on maybe

[Tina]

sorry! I forgot to draw my winners!

They were Kathleen & Shana34.

Please PM me!
