B.A.G for April 2012

[Christine]

I just realized how long it has been since we have done one of these. Is anybody ready to play? :D If so, let's see some color inspiration. It can be a photo, color scheme, ad, whatever inspires you! Make sure to come in and give some suggestions plus bring your friends because for every 10 participants, I will give away 1 of the finished kit(s) in a random draw at the end. :yahoo: Have fun and let's hear what you want. :yes:

[hlmbugle]

I have two that caught my pinterest eye this morning!

I've been looking for something to go with this:

Heather, your yellow and green one reminds me of this New Beginnings Value Collection, which as I recall, we actually made as a B.A.G. :D

[Christine]

Any other suggestions? I already see some that look interesting, but always ready to hear more :D I will probably choose later today.

Hey, that's awesome! I think it's a great idea to suggest kits that are already made if they're close to the inspiration suggestions, especially for us newbies who haven't been around to peruse all the stuff that's in the store! Thanks, I love the colors so that's going in the cart!

[mariafer]

I almost didn't post this cause I like Tara's pyrex that much! So cool...

I got mine at Design Dazzle: http://designdazzle.blogspot.com/2012/04/touch-of-sunshine-girls-room.html You can see more of this cool room there.

This one is awesome!

[Christine]

I am actually working on some kits right now that have yellow, green blue, with some neutrals. You will have to watch for them! :yes:

[Tara]

Well, obvious as it is: white, black, pink, turquoise, and yellow backgrounds please!

Maybe with a woven cardstock texture (does that make sense - not the smooth cardstock). Maybe the pinky one could have faint thin white swirls in it.

Yellow, black, and white flowered background
An ombre in the turquoise
Black with teeny tiny white or pink dots

[ReneT]

a corrugated cardboard background in either the coral or white

a black paper with aqua doodley border, or vice versa on the colors

[ReneT]

Well, obvious as it is: white, black, pink, turquoise, and yellow backgrounds please!

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

[stitchmich]

oh, well, that was great timing on my part. not. looks like was liking the blue and yellow one at the same moment you were choosing the pyrex dishes. :lol: :rolleyes:

sooo....
white with random colored dots
stripe with all the colors
pink with the flower pattern on the top dish- with varying sizes of the flower
gradient with blue/white or pink/white

[just-pjz]

http://media-cache8.pinterest.com/upload/10344274113819711_nz7tUmrD_b.jpg

love the mix of soft color in this one!

-A tone on tone background with swirlies
-I like the outline flowers in the top dish, maybe a background with some of those scattered about
-I'll second Stitch's stripes (oh how we know you lurve making stripes :D ) and her random dots suggestions.

[SilverHealer]

- Stripes! :D
- I really like the swirls in the fifth dish down. Maybe a paper with this swirl around the whole border
- I second Paula's idea for a paper with the outline flowers!

[Fade2Pink]

I agree with Mary about the swirls on the 5th dish. Almost Celtic? Anywhoo my suggestion is to have a bg with those type of swirls just down one side (left probably).

[Christine]

are these teeny and pink enough for you? :)

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/6258/AprilBag1.jpg

[hlmbugle]

Oh that's wonderful! Right up my alley, these colors!

I'm loving the idea of the flower outlines being on a bg, but maybe white bg with the colored outlines?

[mariafer]

I like Tara's cardstock idea... I especially want a white one

Here is a thought how about a peachy/pink cardstock textured or embossed maybe with those flowers and then "chalked" or maybe roughed up and sanded...

this card:
http://i624.photobucket.com/albums/tt330/CoredinationsDT/Core%20Teachers/core-giftcardholder1-kimber.jpg by Kimber McGray

I would rather not link scrapbooking stuff but I like this embossed scratch look and can't figure out how to explain it...

[Tara]

are these teeny and pink enough for you? :)



I actually envisioned them even smaller - just a bit over pinprick size - but I like this paper all the same.

[Christine]

wow I was worried these would be too small. :)

[just-pjz]

oh yes, very nice....stripes will look so good with that. :D

[The Station Cat]

Spots and stripes yummy

I also notice that the white outline flowers are smaller on the second dish down so how about a graduated backgroung with the flowers getting smaler as they go down the page.


Or an overlay with the flowers, or celtic swirls in white with lots of plain backgrounds then we can place them where we want and adjust size to suit!

[The Station Cat]

Those outline flowers would make great elements with each petal a different spot or stripe so maybe we need the planer backgrounds to show off the elements.

I love the turqouise blue shade.

[Christine]

Remember when I said I was finishing up a yellow/green/blue kit? They are in the store and I love how they turned out!

[Christine]

and Tara, what is an ombre?

[PQ]

and Tara, what is an ombre?

Ombre, English corruption of the Spanish word Hombre, arising from the muting of the H in Spanish. (Wikipedia)

[Christine]

I knew that part PQ :lol: but how am I supposed to put that in a paper :D

[PQ]

I knew that part PQ :lol: but how am I supposed to put that in a paper :D

:rofl::lol::rofl:

[Christine]

Here's a 2nd BG, the flowers are big at the top and get smaller as they go down, yellow. Great ideas! Keep going!

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/6258/AprilBag2.jpg

[hlmbugle]

How about some sort of solid with a gradient between the blue-green and the pink?

[Tara]

Ombre, English corruption of the Spanish word Hombre, arising from the muting of the H in Spanish. (Wikipedia)

SILLIES!!! Yes, I want you to put a spanish man on a background please!

The ombre about which I am speaking actually needs an accent over the e and is not Spanish but French (if my memory serves me, ombre means shadow in French, but it has been many years so don't quote me on that). Anyway, "ombre with an accent over the e" is used a lot in fabric (don't you people watch Project Runway?!). It is like a gradient - it goes from light to dark.

Like this:

Or this:
http://www.pregnancyfashion.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/bahar-samakah.jpg

When I made my suggestion, I was thinking of something like the green maternity dress, but in one of the colors of the kit.

[Christine]

oh see! Heather just said gradient and I knew exactly what she meant :lol:

[stitchmich]

so we're not getting a spanish man in a sombrero? maybe for the next kit?

[Christine]

here you go, can you see the Spanish man? look hard! :rofl:

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/6258/AprilBag3.jpg

[Christine]

I have to tell you I meant to do a straight gradient, but accidentally did a round one, I liked it so much I left it! :D

I do!!! And I knew exactly what you were talking about! :yahoo:

[Tara]

I forgot to say that I like your new kits. Your kits are frequently light and airy and I love that about them!

[Tara]

I do!!! And I knew exactly what you were talking about! :yahoo:

10 pts to Maria. She's the winner of this week's runway challenge! :D

[Tara]

oh see! Heather just said gradient and I knew exactly what she meant :lol:

For some reason, "gradient" suggests something pixely to me while ombre suggests something soft. Weird - I know!

I like the one you did though - it isn't pixely at all even if you did call it a gradient! :p

[just-pjz]

so we're not getting a spanish man in a sombrero? maybe for the next kit?

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Lovin' the papers but please tell...how does one "accidentally" make something round when trying to make something straight?? Does this explain your aversion to stripes, they are too straight for you? :D

[hlmbugle]

Hahaha! My straight lines ALWAYS come out round. My stick people are always obese...
:P

[just-pjz]

Hahaha! My straight lines ALWAYS come out round. My stick people are always obese...

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[Tara]

A white background with black designs on it - take your pick of designs!

[The Station Cat]

I love that curved gradient

[The Station Cat]

Are we ready for elemnts yet?

Not a Spanish man but I think with that black a sihouette would be good, (not sure if that is spelt correctly) very soft and hazy if you know what I mean.

And for some reason I keep seeing tulips and a windmill with these colours!!!!

[stitchmich]

Hahaha! My straight lines ALWAYS come out round. My stick people are always obese...
:P

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

I see a scatter, like maybe seashells in those colors.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: That's just *our Christine*! ;)


And I have to say.............I cannot believe everyone (in this day and age) did NOT google. Ombre. Because I was relatively sure Tara did Not have a Spaniard in mind, I had to go searching..............once I got beyond the reddish-brown hair color, I knew exactly what she meant. :D

[hlmbugle]

If you're gonna go with an unpixelated gradient spanish man, just make sure he's rich AND good in the sack. Otherwise, unpixelated is a deal-breaker.

[ReneT]

[GrandmaCrys]

Are we on to elements yet, 'cause I'd really like to see a crepe-paperish flower. :D

[Christine]

OK I had to mix and match a bit to get a combo I liked on the BGs and I made LOTS with all of your great suggestions so looks like we will be making 2 kits. Anybody complaining about that?! :D

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/6258/AprilBag4a.jpg http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/6258/AprilBag4b.jpg

[Christine]

We have dots, stripes, doodles and LOTS of texture. What do you want for elements?

[ReneT]

Easter eggs :D

[Tara]

Easter eggs in the Spaniard's sombrero, of course...

[GrandmaCrys]

:tup: :tup: No complaints here!

[hlmbugle]

Oooh yay! Need something with definition on the 2nd kit. A large doodled paper flower in the blue (like in the paper in the opposite kit)

[The Station Cat]

We need some flowers for both kits but very simple ones like kids draw with a big circle middle and 4 or 5 rounded petals. These could be just outline for one kit and filled with spots/ stripes etc for the second.

[The Station Cat]

maybe a stick man and or woman again like kids draw

[The Station Cat]

A couple of wax crayons and a scribbled overlay

[The Station Cat]

I also could still see a windmill and tulips with this, especially that bottom kit.

[~*Kiana*~]

For elements:
I'd like to see the swirls made into an element or stamp
I see a scatter, like maybe seashells in those colors.

bumping my elements

[hlmbugle]

A layered paper frame pink with black dots and a distressed white layer behind it--maybe with a touch of lace or a fabric peeking through where the frame is tattered.

[The Station Cat]

Having another good hard look at the original inspiration phito the dishes are sat on what looks like a patchwork tablecloth. So how about some patchwork as an element. I see it as a sort of chequer board with some bits missing that we could insert photos into.

[The Station Cat]

How about a curly wrought iron frame. A bit like the swirl you have on one of the backgrounds. It could even be a bit worn with another colour or colours of paint showing through in places.

[Christine]

I know this is probably not gonna happen, but I could really use some Easter eggs with this kit.

Oh look I found some ;)

[mariafer]

this seems a bit retro to me so I would love to see a polaroid frame or a group of 2...

[mariafer]

and how about a baker's twine swirl...

also just because I went shopping for my paper supplies for my retreat this week.. how about an index pocket (you know like in libraries).

And I can always, always use a banner of some sort.. Maybe a pendant flag one and who knows if you do the baker's twine swirl you could add some to hold the banners together :)

[mariafer]

I keep thinking someone is going to come leave suggestions but I am on a roll (I have spent some time at the scrapbk stores this past couple of days!!!)

how bout some journaling mats.... Maybe a striped one. Like the same color two tints.

And since I asked for a library pocket, a library card for journaling would be cool too

An accordion flower?

[Christine]

OK so far I have a swirly stamp/mask, a crepe flower and a paper doodled flower. What else?
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/6258/AprilBag5a.jpg http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/6258/AprilBag5b.jpg

[hlmbugle]

A 1/2" or so blue paper frame for the 2nd kit. Maybe a couple stapled together

[Christine]

Here's a couple more additions:
a scrap flower, a dotted frame on top of some shabby paper, 2 rows of lace overlapped, and some polaroid-type frames.

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/8599/AprilBag6a.jpg http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/8599/AprilBag6b.jpg
If you recognize your suggestion, feel free to claim the brilliant idea :D

[Christine]

now the question, do you guys want the dotted frame WITH the shabby paper? or should I separate them out into 2 separate elements, so you can use them individually. either way is fine by me :)

[Christine]

Maria I didn't know what Baker's twine was but went and googled it and that would be so cute! definitely going to do that!

[Sharon Lyn]

I would like to see the frame separated two separate elements how about a round picture frame or oval in gold or silver

Thank you for my message will give it a try :)

[Tara]

I'd like the paper separate from the frame.

And I LOVE those flowers in the first kit. SO AWESOME!

[Christine]

ok they are separated :)

[Christine]

oh yay I got a new gallery so it is easier to see the BAG progress:
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=8599

[Christine]

OK and here's some baker's twine :D
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/8599/AprilBag7b.jpg

[Christine]

k we need 3 more elements for kit a and 4 more for kit b :)

[hlmbugle]

Can we get some kind of clip or fastener in kit B to go along with the twine? I'm not exactly sure what kind, I just like to fasten my twine with something. :) A sprinkle of something in darker/brighter shades of these colors would be cool in that kit too, like seed beads or glitter or tiny flowers-- something to add a little pop of bright.

[GrandmaCrys]

I am certainly loving this so far..............How about a bracket mat? Or just a piece of a bracket mat which could be falling off the page.

[GrandmaCrys]

Oh! Oh! Oh! And some variegated stitching would be AWESOME! :D

[~*Kiana*~]

Scatter, scatter, scatter!! LOL

[ReneT]

Oh look I found some ;)

I KNEW you were gonna do that! :rofl::rofl:

[ReneT]

water droplets in a greenish-aquaish color

or a big splash or water

[The Station Cat]

I'm lovin both kits.

Kit a needs something swirly or dangelly, maybe a ribbon.
Or a curled metal spring, you know the sort that kids play with. They come in an assortment of colours and travel down the stairs. I will get some photos to show you what I mean.

[The Station Cat]

Kit B needs more in the aqua blue colour.

A pair of kids flowered wellies

Watering can

Cute gardening kit, trowel, etc you can get them in all colours with dot, flowers etc.

[Christine]

i knew you were gonna do that! :rofl::rofl:

I aim to please :D:D :D

[Christine]

Scatter, scatter, scatter!! LOL

lol so Kiana, you want something scattered? :lol:

[Christine]

OK we have something scattered, a folded bracket mat, variegated stitching and a dangling variegated ribbon! :D We are making progress here. Only 2 elements left for kit a. Do you want a word art something? other ideas?
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/8599/AprilBag8a.jpg http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/8599/AprilBag8b.jpg

[Christine]

and start thinking of title ideas too :D

[hlmbugle]

I love what you've added, this is awesome! How about a couple of journaling strips for the 2nd kit? Maybe with some of the blue on them, and I like Station Cat's idea of a nice blue watering can! And I'm still thinking clips, maybe deco paper clips of some sort. Something to give it a little pizzazz. Is that how you spell pizzazz? Looks funny.

First thing I saw looks funny. I thought well alrighty then. Glad to see u were talking about pizzazz. :) so I am not sure what u mean on the clips. Like a paper clip with something on the top or something else

[hlmbugle]

Haha! My spelling looks funny. Sorry, I can see how that would make you go hmm...

But yes, that's the idea I had, paper clips with a little decorative something on one end. I'm thinking the blue color for some contrast with the papers. I love the coppery color of metal accents so maybe actual paperclips in that color and then still something blue-green on the tops of them. What about small versions of the doodled flowers with one of your pretty sequins in the center?

here are the springs I was on about. Not in thses colours but the pastel ones of the kits.

I also agree that the copper look is great with the pastel tones.

How about some drawing pins! Some loose and one or two that look stuck in.

Like a Slinky? They're awesome!


What walks down stairs, alone or in pairs
and makes a slinkity sound?
A spring, a spring, a marvelous thing!
Everyone knows it's Slinky.
It's Slinky, it's Slinky,
It's fun, it's a wonderful toy.
It's Slinky, it's Slinky, it's fun,
It's a wonderful toy.
It's fun for a girl or a boy.

Think we need another frame for the second kit. You did pink and black spots for kit a how about a stripy frame for kit b? or a gradient blue and yellow maybe.

[The Station Cat]

If you add some of the rainy elements that have been suggested to kit b and another flower to kit a you could go with

April showers and May flowers as the kit names.

lol so kiana, you want something scattered? :lol:
