Hi Digiscrapdee

I stumbled across digital by accident about 3 years ago. I love it and wanted to learn more. I read tutorials anywhere I could on the web, read, read and read some more.

As far as a kit, there are no set rules. These are just my guidelines others may have their own to follow.

I usually create:

15 elements or less and 6 papers and less is a mini kit.

15 to 40 elements / 8-15 papers Reg Kit

more than 40 elements and 15 papers is a Mega Kit.

Element inspiration for me comes from pictures of a scene, lots of scrapbooking magazines, browsing through galleries to see what other's create and sometimes just day dreaming something will come to mind. Media Mail, flyers, anything with graphics gives me ideas and the thought - Can I make an element with that?

I usually try to add in a Reg Kit

Tags
Journaling paper
Ribbons
Frames
various brads
flowers
beads
borders
corner pieces

you can also add word art

I like to make unusual elements too like little trinkets. There is probably more that I have not added but that is all I could think of for now.

Hope this helps you.
