Help me decide what to make next!

Hey guys!

So I need to get started on something for next weekend's release, but I'm not feeling super motivated at the moment. We're remodeling our house, and I've got a lot of stuff distracting me. So, I'd like your help in choosing what to design next.

Show me something to inspire me! A picture (yours or a stock photo, magazine photo, album cover, website, etc) would be awesome, but even a general idea of a theme or kit title you'd like to see would be cool, too. I've got a long list of things that I COULD be working on, but none of them are speaking to me.

So lay it on me! If I choose your idea, I'll give you the kit for free as a thank you. :)
 
something I can scrap this with and not have to change the colors of the pic. Doesn't have to be themed.

I totally messed up my post and can't get to the edit button to size the pictures correctly. Can anyone help??!!

Thanks, Meghan! I just realized that all I had to do was replace the pictures in my FTP with the resized pictures (done) and it would post correctly. If you just hid the post, you should be able to unhide it. Otherwise I can repost...
 
Um... how about a remodeling kit???? :p Seriously, could you get much more inspiration?
 
Okay, I'm going to try again...

These pics were from a fall walk in the woods overlooking the Potomac River. The leaves were just starting to turn in this area. And, no, I don't think there's such a thing as too many fall kits :)

hehe well I can assure you that I won't be making a remodeling kit. Heather has an awesome one in the store already, and after all the mess in my house, the last thing I want to think about is doing the same thing in digital form. LOL

Keep the ideas coming! I still don't have a clue what I want to work on! :)
 
You always rock a sports kit. I would love to see a karate one also! (Since we own a karate school and all do karate!)

Would you be inspired to do a Christmas kit this early????? I still have a lot of scrapping to do of last Christmas and it is quickly approaching again for this year. I haven't bought one Christmas kit from SSD. All of mine are from Shabby Miss Jenn. I like hers because of the glittery letters and metal embellies. Of course, you could do this because you rock with metal and I love your shabby shimmers alphas! I think you could totally do this in a cool way. :)
 
I would love a vintage boy kit or something I can scrap this with

It was taken when we were roasting marshmallows.
 
I would love to see a sewing kit - with a sewing machine, lots of stitching elements (xstitch, daisy chain, zigzag stitch, etc.), pattern pieces, a cool wire mannequin, needle and thread elements, fabric patches, pin cushions, scissors, embroidery hoops, maybe some retro stickers of sewing patterns or models from the 50's, AND stitched doodle versions of all the elements.

Or, how about a retro Domestic Goddess fashion couture/shopping kit? There was a very cool paper line similar to this (probably about a year ago) maybe by graphic 45 (in fact it might actually be called Domestic Goddess)? I'll see if I can find a pic of one of the papers.

That's not asking for too much, is it? :p
 
Hi Libby! I love the idea of a Martial Arts kit -- maybe an add on or mini-kit that matched (or included as well :) ) that could also be used for "finding your zen" or peace for the parents too.. So with the usual brights, but maybe a couple of muted papers that match the main theme or work with black/dark brown accents? A bamboo sprig that can be used in the corners or up a page.. could also be used for a (panda page!!). Or ginko leaves to scatter( a ginko leaf brush or outline would be handy too). Stone border or cluster and stones that say peace, tranquility, love, etc...
 
Hi Again
A music lesson kit? Lots of people have kids in band/orchestra at school or private lessons... piano, voice. Could be used for school recitals or school plays too. Of course, have a guitar as well, so could be used for Rockin' out or Rock Band shots. Adds to the versatility.

Marching band, jazz band, orchestra, piano recital... make sure to have some holiday colors in there too so people could use it for the holiday concerts that happen at school.

Some music that we could put across a page or coming out of an instrument?

Libby has a perfect one for your pics! I can't find it though in my stash or in the store... Libby, you know the one??? Bright and with the drinks? I always thought you should do an add on with that one with a Cinco de Mayo theme --people could use it for little girl Dora, Chevy's.
 
Well, I'd like to see something like "Deep Fried Cookie Dough on a Stick" LOL...IOW, a new kit for scrapping the State Fair (or local carnival).

Or perhaps something inspired by s'mores...I think the color combo would be great...and it's a great time of year for sitting around a campfire and roasting a yummy treat (ok, I'd rather just eat the chocolate and graham crackers...but the kiddo loves the marshmallow part)

It is not too early to start a new calendar kit! Your CD/DVD Case Calendar was great last year. Maybe a 2011 one?

Also, border add on kits for your existing kits? Little add on border sets or clusters? Something to put down or across the whole 12x12 page? Or use for card making?
 
knitting and crocheting with balls of yarn and skeins of yarn ... and ... instead of regular thread stitching ... how about yarn stitching? lil bonnets made of yarn and handknit booties ... lil afghans ... big afghans (think background paper...I could even send you some photographs that could be used as backgrounds...I have 3 different color schemes and 2 different stitch types).... journaling boxes with yarn stitching on them ... or some instructions that are overlapped with a torn paper for journaling ....

Sewing (machine & a needle with thread) ... SERGING ... quiltmaking ... patterns ... lil tomato with pins sticking out of it ... pattern envelopes .... different lil tools you use with sewing (I can give you lots of ideas here) ... including: carbon paper, spiked rolling tool (I can find out name & get pic), pins (use pins instead of staples to hold things ... price tags for journaling), quilting rulers, rolling cutters, self-healing mats (think background paper...with the line markings on it), craft knife, scissors (the kind for sewing ... regular and the pinking shears), the new gadgets that auto make your bias tape ... plus the older kind you had to cut the fabric and then pull it through while ironing (have pics), bobbins, measuring tapes, chalk markers, marking pencils, thread spoons, a background paper of lots of spools of thread,

actual pieced quilts for background papers ... I have quite a few quilts I have made I would photograph for you ... baby and family styles ...

--egular sewing machine, old fashioned, serger, embroidery machine

Well I've been looking for bingo card elements but can never find ones to fit my layouts. Sooo, how about an interchangeable bingo card with varying titles and colors? Also, a few small elements to use for the center of the card (like a flower, heart, star etc etc)?

I also would love a karate kit but know that was mentioned already! LOL
 
Love the idea of a girly dance kit like Jen suggested. I'd also like to see a Girl Scouts-themed kit. I have one, but it's literally the *only* one, and I've got tons of GS pics to scrap.

Here's another idea for a kit that I don't think exists anywhere. My DD has been to tons of b-day parties, carnivals, festivals, etc. with inflatables. You know, the bouncy houses, big slides, etc? I'd love to see a kit featuring those.

Whatever you do, Libby, I'm sure it will be awesome! :wub:
 
Take your kit from the QA and make it bigger!!!!! :) I love, love, love fall/pumpkin/halloween kits... it's a serious addiction for me. LOL
 
I'd love to see a city themed kit...

With some nice blues and silvers and greys, and maybe a bright taxicab yellow??? I have tons of photos from Chicago and New York City and I would love to see a kit featuring city sort of things...
 
Oh, please please please a Karate kit! I agree with the other girls, my son has been in Karate for over a year and I have not been able to scrap any of his pics! There have been several requests for this type of kit and no one seems to want to tackle it! With sugar Libby?
 
LOL i wouldn't mind trying a karate kit, but I know NOTHING about it. I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do it justice. What kinds of things would you look for in a kit like that? I'll need to research it a bit before I could even try it.

I could totally help you! We have owned a karate school for since 2002. I could give you phrases and pictures if you like. Just PM me if you really want to do something along these lines! :)

Oh, you're thinking of my collab that I did with MandaBean last year... 3 Sheets To the Wind. LOL I think we retired that in the last GGG sale?

LOL Ok, I sent you a PM. It'll probably be a few weeks before I feel up to tackling this one because I'd want to do it justice. But I'll at least start researching and seeing what I can come up with. :)
