It’s time for Custom Collection Sundays. Yay! We’ve got a fabulous new release and a new request has been chosen. Ready? Let’s dig in!
What is a Custom Collection Sundays? It is a chance for each of you to request a Custom Collection from one of our Designers. Every week one person wins their request.
On September 28 Rebecca won her request for a realistic Scottish collection by Vero – The French Touch:
This is a second request… I’d love a realistic Scottish collection, something that looks like a visit, and nothing bright or cutesy. I was thinking of soft colors, deep earthy ones and gentle lighter ones. Maybe weathered earth textures, stone, scenic papers, and textile textures like a subtle woven plaid, tweeds, heathered aran knits with cables… I thought elements could include things Celtic/Scottish, definitely including heather and thistle. It seems like it would need several pieces of metal; fixtures, jewelry, weapons… Oh, and tea and scones, maybe?

This week I am back to picking a new Custom Collections Sunday winner! I very much appreciated the slightly less specific requests. It is easier to get those completed than once with complex, specific elements. Continue to ask me something fun! Ask me something in your favorite color! Or favorite colors! Request flowers, winter or love, and let’s see who I can make happy next. And go ahead & try with something a little more specific. I know there were some great ideas out there that can be fulfilled! Give it another go?
Some of my favorite requests this week:
What a beautiful kit!
I would like to put in a new request. I’m thinking ahead a few months to Valentine’s Day, that special time between lovers. So, my request is a sweet but passionate kind of kit with pinks and reds and purples.
Thank you,Hugs,
JoyceI love Japanese art forms and I would love to see a kit based on some these such as Embroidery, Kimono patterns, and porcelain ware. I would like to have the kit include some prints of the more modern Ukiyo-e paintings, particularly those by Hiroshige and Hokusai. Elements such as beautiful chopsticks, lacquerware pieces and such would be lovely as well, as would the traditional cherry blossoms, Buddahs and dragons. The kit could be done in the traditional Japanese colors. Here’s a link for more info on those (there are many other resources too
).

I’d like to see a black/grey/white kit with just one accent color (various shades of that color) – glamorous with a touch of silver glitter. I see this as being formal/traditional rather than quirky and fun.
from: Robyn
Sadly, I can only pick one winner. Our winner this week is: Gloria!
I would like to see a kit which could be used for vintage memories, heretige, etc. There are not very many with colors which catch your attention and not just brown and tan. I would like to see something with parchment, teal and burgundy – vintage but pleasing to the eye.
from: Gloria
Gloria, Patty, PattyB Scraps, is already hard at work on your request!
Very important note: I will post a new winner every week, however, please do not expect your Custom Collection to be ready within a week. Scrapbooking Collections take time, and that time varies by Designer. Some of our team are full-time designers, others are part-time. Some are new mommies with littles at home, and others are Grandmothers. Some of us are both.
I cannot wait to see the requests this week, please post away your biggest wishes in the comments below. Comments are open to everyone. New comments, and repeat comments are welcome. I will post a new winner next week, along with a new release & a sneak peek!
Would love a kit that celebrates our kids achievements — big and small. No matter what age they are, they always amaze me with their ‘genius’. Whether it is learning to count, read, use the iPhone at 18 months (yes — normal now days!), stack blocks, build lego, do complicated Math that outfoxes the rest of us, paint an amazing picture… etc. Genius at work! As parents we are always so proud of our kids even for the silliest little things 🙂
I absolutely adore the kit that was chosen and have already bought the whole collection!!!
And I also love the new one that was picked this week by Gloria.
I’m putting my order in again, though. Don’t they say 3rd time is a charm?

Hi Toiny
Back in October I believe it was I won one of the weekly suggestions for a kit celebrating the birth of Jesus, the meaning of Christmas. I was wondering if this kit is being created as I have not heard or seen anything?
Meanwhile I would love a new kit about winter with whites and greys and accent colours of blue. Sparkly snowflakes and sun glows would be great as often our winter days are very bright with its of sunshine along with snow.
Hoping for kits that show tap dance, wrestling, cross country, karate, or cello – I know it’s not easy to come up with items for these unusual activities, but I’m still hoping
I would love to see a really great New years eve/day kit. Something with the silver, sequins and sparkle. Perhaps with old Father time and the new years baby. Perhaps with some horns, hats and steamers. Maybe some fireworks or the ball dropping in times Square. Of course there would have to be cork popping bottle of champagne and a glass or two. happy 2015 everyone.
Beyond the Kilt is Beyond Beautiful. What a gorgeous kit! Props to Vero for such a beautiful creation.
I would lIke to see a Western (cowboy) winter kit with snow sleighs and beautiful horses perhaps wearing a lighted wreath perhaps a Santa wearing cowboy boots, Snowmen with cowboy hats, snow covered trees and a red bird or snow owl, snow covered trees and an old red barn, old sleds and icesKates and snow scene papers, glistening snow flakes. I would particularly like to see a Great Pyrenees Wearing a Santa Hat or lighted wreath.
I would still like a kit based on old Persia. Not Aladdin or 100 and 1 nights (that tends to be more Arabic and Indian influenced. Persian miniatures, carpets, gardens, Pigeon towers, Persopolis, caravans, bazaars.y8l7
I’ve already told Diane at ABD this, but what I would love is a vintage travel kit. Think the suitcase labels from exotic destinations and the ads from the “golden age” of travel. Cruise ship, plane and even trains- maybe even some palm trees and hula girls!
If anyone else has interest in the three ideas I submitted last week, by all means suggest them!! 😉 I would love to see them transformed into collections if there are more people interested them.
Can’t wait to see Patty B’s new kit for Gloria!
Since this particular theme is one of my personal favorites I’m going to suggest it a second time…’cause…you never know. :))

I would love to see an outdoor woodland type kit with variations of green, tan, brown etc. but with blend-able colors, not the bright garish colors that stand out to much. Backgrounds blended. Masks to blend photos into the background as well softening everything out. I haven’t seen a soft blend-able colored kit in a long while.
I found a nice soft hued palette I like on Design Seeds for a soft country woodland theme. There can be some variations in the green etc. or splashes of white flowers etc. I appreciate being given the chance to get a kit made. Thank you so much. Here is the site address for the palette colors. Foggy tones1 done on 12/8/14.

Hi I would love to see an Eastern/Arabian Wedding collection. Our daughter got married in Dubai 9 years ago on the beach under a billowing sheer curtained gazebo.I have never found the right collection and the photos still sit in my ‘to do’ pile! I would love to make an album for their 10th Wedding Anniversary this year. I would like something with an exotic romantic feel. Silvers and golds and palm trees and desert. Maybe a little etherial. Would love some organza type floaty overlay? Border clusters (love these). Let your imagination run wild! 🙂 ♥♡
