I am looking for real flower, and plant embellishments. Also for art supplies, like crayons, markers paint themes. I also like music. swills and soft floral overlays.
[This has been moved to the Digital Scrapbooking Discussion forum]
If you are a do it yourselfer, I have picked and dried flowers in paper towels, pressed them in books, then scanned them. They keep their color well. Pansies are especially lovely. There is something that feels good about making your own embellishments. I would never have time to do enough to be a designer, but just to do a little for myself is satisfying.
Scanner necessary, of course. I don't know what I'd do without mine! They run all prices and the less expensive ones work nicely for scrapbooking. I've also picked and laid the flowers or leaves right on the scanner glass without drying them flat first. You need to lay something like a cloth over top of them since, unless the flower is already quite flat, you need them covered.
The most time taking part is extracting the flowers in Photoshop, (or other software) from the background. So simple shapes are easier.
(I hope this post shouldn't be under a different topic.)
Marina I love the lilies bunched together like that thank you I found other flowers than roses, for some reason most people have just roses or simple flowers. I like color and unique shapes.
Kendra, I know that Marisa, Brooke, and I all have school based kits. My collection includes markers, crayons, colored pencils, paint splats, and a couple of music elements.
If you're a fan of vibrant colors, there will be more goodies coming from me before too long. I have a huge bundle that will be transferred over to DigitalScrapbook.com eventually (though I have a few more kits in the works that will be released first). This is my Quilted with Love bundles.
Also, I know that both Marisa and Brooke have created some gorgeous colorful kits. You may want to try the key words 'colorful' or 'rainbow' in the search portion of the site. That may lead to you to a few elements, and from there you can find the coordinating kits.

Peg that is a really neat idea, I also like to scan in my real embellishments and use them for digital.
