Gimme a Clue - May colours

[Lauren]

Im doing a gimme a clue in the may colours - Id like this kit to be able to be used for the style lift challenge which features the style of this paper scrapper (http://www.scrapbook.com/galleries/105382/list/-1/420/1.html) but I would also like this to be able to be used for masculine pages not just feminine - so theres your challenge - to come up with elements that will work for that!!

Ive made the backgrounds so you just need to come up with 14 elements
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/8548/May_06.jpg

[hlmbugle]

Layerable, square, cut-out scalloped, multi frames! So we can use one color, or both colors.

Paper diamonds in all different colors, with crease-marks from having been folded.

A double set of eyelets, strung together like a corset with a ribbon, or a piece of leather string.

[shazzt]

I see that the paper scrapper uses a lot of very dimensional flowers. Taking into account that you want something that can be used for masculine pages, what about layered, dimensional paper elements (like the flowers) but with shapes instead??

[shazzt]

The flower and the twine bow on this one is very cool: http://www.scrapbook.com/galleries/105382/view/2825723/-1/420/1.html

[hlmbugle]

She also seems to use a lot of pearl dots (the puffy paint) so maybe a row of those, or another configuration of them

[shazzt]

I think the flowers on this page would work for masculine and feminine layouts: http://www.scrapbook.com/galleries/105382/view/2836533/-1/420/1.html

[Sharon Lyn]

Green yellow purple and black Brads
Black frame
bunch of ribbons with different colors

[shazzt]

The glass dangles on the inspiration remind me of the red element under the jounralling on this layout:http://www.scrapbook.com/galleries/105382/view/2825723/-1/420/1.html

[Sharon Lyn]

Oh and I forgot what about some stitching

[happybeingamom]

An embossed mat
A paint stencil, not the stencil put the spray of paint from it.

[sandygb]

Beautiful papers to start. I already know i will love this kit.

[sandygb]

Probably already suggested. But lots of paper flowers. And stamped brown branches and a couple butterflies.

[Limequilla]

Some of those Silhouette-style die cut embellishments. One thing is bobbin lace or cutwork lace. These aren't too girly, and they could be colored. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lace

Paper flowers with the outline dots cut out on the petals.

Those tear drop glass prisms you have in the photo are pretty.

A slightly off-white marble frame - the kind of marble with the gray veins.

A rectangular wristwatch face.

a clothing label

a fake monogram (meaning you can't really tell what the initials are) with a bunch of swirls that looks like it was embroidered.

a TV clicker. hahaha

[Limequilla]

Oh, while I was typing this you posted - the lace is on there, so scratch that. :)

A frame that has the same shape as the green paper in an old rolled gold with a bunch of burls and grain.

[Raphne]

Oh, this is lovely! I particularly love that flower, lauren! Could we have a frame in that aged newspaper?

[hlmbugle]

Pearls, pearls and more pearls! A beaded string of twine, with pearls and various glass beads, something that will lend itself to a good cluster! :) Those diamonds are GORGEOUS!

[The Station Cat]

Lots of paper swirls and curls, like when you score paper ribbon with a pair of scissors so it curls up for gift wrapping.

A teddy or cloth animal of some sort

[The Station Cat]

Needs a frame something strong and masculine maybe in that dark purple shade.

[The Station Cat]

If you want to go very masculine how about a pair of men's slippers

A cut glass whiskey decanter

[The Station Cat]

A man's silk tie

[The Station Cat]

How about some word art

Sing out loud in the car even, or especially, if it embarrasses your children. ~Marilyn Penland

[The Station Cat]

A cute paper car

[sandygb]

I'm working on my Spring Heritage LO and realized the butterfly element in that kit would be a perfect style for this kit. Could we please have some flowers and butterflies in that style for this kit. :)

[tape]

A yellow glitter scatter

[teetopper]

Ohhhhh, this is fantastic! I hope I get some time in the next week.

A paper flourish in the grey color.

Vertical paper strips, either torn or cut, sewn together at the top, or an element to attach them.

A slender tall vertical flower arrangement stamp, not too frilly, maybe only 1 or 2 flowers and a few leaves on a long stem.

Horizontal ribbon gathered occasionally with a silver ring or charm.

Cherry blossom limb with small buds.

Love this Lauren, it's going to be magnificent!

[The Station Cat]

How abouit some wrapped sweets

[The Station Cat]

Needs something more 3D if you want to be in that paper scrappers style.

Instead of flowers to make it more masculine how about some bull rushes?

[Lauren]

I thought someone asked for glass flowers - but i cant find that request so maybe it was in the chat - anyway here are some glass flowers
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/8548/May_11.jpg

[minnmom79]

a brad that looks like a tie pin or a cufflink
a journaling element that coordinates with the border strip

[The Station Cat]

I'm loving this kit

It really does need a 3D pop

I think some curly ribbons in all the colours would be perfect.

[The Station Cat]

And a frame or a journaling mat ... thinks...

in a diamond shape... or a diamond in a rectangle different colours.

A tray,

box of chocs,

[The Station Cat]

Do not know why but I keep seeing tropical fish in these colours!

[The Station Cat]

Love the glass flowers how about some glass pebbles

a paperweight

scrunched up balls of paper, like when you write a letter then change your mind.

[Mars]

yay! I asked for glass flowers! beautiful

[Mars]

something in that satin metallic finish on the ornaments... maybe a button

[Mars]

or a line of tiny brads in the satin metallic

[Mars]

paper labels with designs

[Mars]

paper strips with stamped edges

[Mars]

leaves that look like they are drawn on paper... like cut out stamped leaves

[honeymoon]

Vertical paper tag with the top replicating the pattern on the bottom green paper.

[Fade2Pink]

A cork board looking frame. I am wondering how a diamond shape frame would look...maybe too difficult to use?

[The Station Cat]

How about a frame that looks like an open book with either space for 2 photos or a photo and a journaling mat.

[The Station Cat]

An ornate bird cage

[The Station Cat]

A feather or 2

[hlmbugle]

A gold hanging thread that we might be able to hang those glass flowers from the top of our page

[The Station Cat]

Lots of hanging silk ribbons in different shades.

[The Station Cat]

A couple of seagulls flying - just the outline or in silhouette.

[Limequilla]

mercury glass acorn (or finial)

oooh, I love this idea!

[Lauren]

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/8548/May_16.jpg
I added the leaves ( stamped on green card) - 2 nesting frames and a circular mat with an embossed edge - and some little white embossed dots in a line
I need 4 more elements - what should they be...

[teetopper]

This is beautiful Lauren! I'm so excited! I have tonight and tomorrow night to scrap before I have to leave again. First time in forever it feels! And, I get to see this kit evolve. Heaven is where I am :love2:!

[Mars]

I found this image of a shabby chic hair comb that has some interesting flowers in different materials that might suit this kit if you are adding more flowers. I would love more flowers! and i love the tiny celadon leaf too.

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/data/1945/shabbychiccomb.jpg

[hlmbugle]

Something wiry, like a spray or a long swirl of wire, in gold, and one of those ivory resin flowers with a gold/pearl center on Mars' clip

[Mars]

a gem

[Mars]

I was thinking the same thing bug... maybe like those stamens with pearl tips you see on a lot of on the fabric flowers in the stylelift layouts

[teetopper]

[The Station Cat]

buttons, old wooden ones or tortoise shell looking

Or an old pair of specs

[TalyQ]

She also uses little tags.
And some ribbons that are cut in the end like a V.
We definitely need stitching for this - she stitches almost everything down.

[Lauren]

Ok - I added a few things - doily/overspray, gold stitched corner, 2 more flowers and circle element - and combined a few things - ( combined leaves with flowers - and counted the frames as one element seeing they stack ...
so we are done -definitely - but we need a name - what on earth shall it be??
