Sweet Shoppe Designs

So, a while ago I asked whether someone would be interested in making a castle-themed kit, but it seems that it wasn't such a hit (it even rhymes). :-) I'm repeating my request with more detail and don't worry, this is the last time I'm spamming the forum with it. :-)

At this point the only castle kits in the Shoppe are for kiddos, and what I have in mind is an grown-ups-aimed one - meant for scrapping your travel pages mostly.

As Colleen suggested, it might be a broader-themed kit about ancient architecture. Or it have some elements of romance in it too, which would definitely make it acceptable for people who don't exactly want to scrap castles (I understand that a specific one like that might not be a best-seller).

Some elements that might be used:

- red roses
- ivy
- metal keys and locks
- some wall elements and arches
- arched windows
- metal swirls
- lace
- feathers
- decorative frames
- coat of arms
- banner / flag
- ancient "castle" lamp
- wood railings or some other wood elements
- a staircase
- a clock
- a scroll

And some photo inspiration... taken at the Reichsburg Cochem at the Moselle river.

Thanks for the patience and I promise this is the last time I repeat this request. ;-)

I'd love to help you, but I don't think my style would be the best fit to tackle this type of kit. I tend to lean more cutesy. Just didn't want you to think you were being ignored!

Oh thanks Libby, you're sweet as ever. :-) I just wasn't sure if the first time around it was really seen, that's why I risked the repeat. :-)

I agree this would go best with the more vintage inclined designers, like Susan, Kristin, Krystal or Jenn.
