IL March Mega - due 28 Feb

March 2010 Mega Kit Sign-Ups
http://www.inspiration-lane.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=7258&start=10

We'll plan on releasing this a week or so into March, just to give you girls time to work on it More info is below:

Kit name: Frolicking
Due Date: February 28, 2010
Theme: For this kit I'm thinking funky and fun...the colors make me think of grass, sky, and flowers, so feel free to do outdoorsy cutesy/funky elements of birds, flowers, hills, skies, etc...a funky kit about someone frolicking by the pond, or in a meadow. For papers you can do more generic patterns too.
UPDATE - we do not need anymore leaves, grass, or bug elements
Metal to use to provide continuity: Silver
Each person signed up will be responsible for making 3 patterned papers and 2 element types. If you sign up for an alpha, you only need to do 3 patterned papers in addition (no other element types). If you sign up for quickpages, feel free to use everyone's contributions to create your pages, and you do still need to do your 3 patterned papers.

**PLEASE READ**Note about patterned papers - Please do not create any plain dotted or striped papers...I realize these are often the first thing you want to do because they are EASY, but we do not want a ton of those patterns in this kit. Please try to be creative with your patterns. If you DO use a dotted or striped pattern, please mix it with another pattern too...dots filled in with shapes, stripes alternating with another pattern, etc.
Please name your files as follows: yourname_nameofkit_bg.jpg
yourname_nameofkit_elementname.jpg
yourname_nameofkit_prev.jpg
yourname_nameofkit_TOU.txt

My part is an alpha.

Scrapable march collab

http://www.scrapable.net/forum/showthread.php?t=4094

The first collab will be designer samplers so customer new and old can get a feel for the designers (also new and old). Never done designer samplers before? Basically you will create a mini kit in the swatch of your choice (4 - 6 papers, 8 - 10 unique elements) and the sampler will be put together as a collection for sale in the shop. 

Due date is February 22nd. Every designer must participate (no opting out in lieu of rent). 

Please upload to the collab ftp and place your preview in this thread. There is no need to add the mini to your store.

Scrapable birthday mega 2/11

http://www.scrapable.net/forum/showthread.php?t=4089 (thread link)

This is the winning swatch. We'll need it posted to the ftp by 2/11.



I'd say around 5 papers and 10 ellies each would be great. Post your previews here when you're done.
