Help & Inspo Needed + Save 25% off Kits & Templates

Yes I think you're right, I had a few in mind but seems they are more geared towards buildings and doorways. You may have these, here are some gears and a few misc car / truck charms but i'll bookmark your suggestions! There are tons of things I saw whilst passing that are transferable for male / boy layouts though - and lots of other items that I often use instead of gears but that can be generic for boy pages such as metal circles or plastic circles, I call them 'finds' and my packs with lots of scrawly marks and ephemera. let me know if you need help with anything.

I'm going to post a bunch here which may inspire you or spam you, or you may already have them :love

Generic ideas in place of gears

I think I have all of these, but I'm bookmarking this post as a quick reference for starting points when I'm hunting these items. Thank you for diving into your creations and culling out these examples.
 
Huge fan :clap not sure if you're still looking for inspiration, but I am really missing kits and stuff for us nerds think computers, programming, gaming (both boardgames and pc games),card collecting etc.
Not sure how or if it would work in your style, but I thought I'd throw the idea out there.

Thank you!! I'll bookmark this!! Card Collecting as in trading cards etc?

I'll echo what Lisa said @elseepe , I love how you have lots of "generic" items in your kits so they can be used for a huge variety of layout topics! I LOVE your string bits and the little word bits you add too.

I'd love to see a DIY type of kit from you. I'm constantly fixing things or building things around the house and I'd love a kit to capture those type of projects. I don't need a hammer, saw and drill type element in there, but rather things like screw heads, little nails, maybe some bits of saw dust, a brush with the ruler markings, etc. Then papers with wood grains and maybe with and without paint splatters? Then of course your awesome word strips too.

I'd also love a kit about cleaning and/or organizing that isn't super cutesy. We've been doing tons of purging in our house, going through closets and drawers and shelves and getting rid of things (donating, giving away on FB, etc). So fun word bits related to that would be great too. (purging, organizing, "do I really need this?", "what is this?", "donate pile", giveaway, onto the next owner, gross, so dirty!, "Do animals live in here?") :giggle

and finally, I know that most of us capture the happiest moments in our scrapbooks, but sometimes I need to make a ranting page or capture something not so great that's happened in our life, so I'd love a kit to use to document the "hard" moments of life. elements like question marks and exclamation points. sketched mad faces or shocked faces. Angry scribbles, etc. wadded up paper, torn paper bits. word bits about frustration, exhaustion, confusion, uncertaintly, etc.

Had you in mind with the new Low Battery Club after these comments and suggestions :clap

I'm a fan. My most used item ever is messy date stamps, and you've already got 2026 available. I love the general neutral of your designs, and their flexibility to fit everyday so well. In terms of new ideas, not sure I have any real specific ones, but I would love an addition (or more) with some gear type things -- young boy (child) building, wheels, car and truck images in your wonderful artsy style (transfers or background papers), and maybe as charms or metallic buttons.
Inboxing you now about your suggestion as I need help to develop it further :clap :clap :clap
 
@Rachel Jefferies - you know I love, love, LOVE all your designs! :heartslub

I'm going to be a grandma again... YAY! :yahoo We don't know if it's a girl or boy, but I'm hoping you'll consider adding some new baby and toddler type kits to your product line. I still haven't scrapped all of Maddyn and Weston's newborn photos and would love to have some kits to pull from for both girls and boys! Nothing too cutesy, just in your signature style. Think welcoming baby home, big sister, big brother, little one, sweet dreams, shhh... baby sleeping, nursery rhymes, etc.

Congratulations, WOW!!

Yes of course, I'm looking forward to creating those!
 
Thank you @elseepe for the core inspo, @zinzilah @nemi for pushing me outside my comfort zone and asking for something more colourful, and to @Meliora @tinkerbell1112 @pagefrocks (and anyone else i missed!) for sharing their 'special interests' which will feature in a future 'edition' of this new series.

This is coming to the BYOC on Friday
