Indiana Jones themed digital elements

[McQueenofHrts]

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone could suggest a kit that has an Indiana Jones theme to it? My son will be turning 5 soon and he wants a Indiana Jones party. I was hoping to design a birthday invite. Any ideas or suggestions would be highly appreciated!

When my son turned 7, we did an Indy party...that was before the latest movie, so I had to be creative...

The invite I did with a hieroglyphic font (dafont.com) and a message with a key at the bottom of the invite. I ripped the paper and inked the edges to make it look old. Then I used the same font and a font called Papryus to make clues for a series of games in the backyard...all created by my son - large insects, snakes, more decoding, a tunnel to crawl through, things like that. Some went really well, some, not so good, but at each game the kids got clues to the next game. We then had snakes and eyeballs (spaghetti and mozzarella cheese balls) for lunch with bug juice. Oh and skeleton bones (bananas) for dessert as well as a cake. I used brown and gold paper ware and found compasses at Orientaltrading.com.

I don't know it that really answers your question, but my son had a really great time. For my pages, I searched for clip art that was stuff like...snakes, fedoras, and other Indy themes...Good luck!

Thanks Mickster! It does help. I think there should be a dedicated thread on the DIS boards for people and great party ideas.

There's a cute kit called "Jonesing" by fellow DIS gal Mikkel Paige but I can't find it in her new shop at the Digi Chick. Mikkel if you're out there - is this kit still avail. somewhere?

Thanks for the info. BTW: I love your work. It feels like a "Celeb DIS'er" just answered my question.

I've done one layout from the INdiana Jones Stunt Show. If I can find the credits to it, and what I used, I'll post them here!

Here is my layout:



Here's the creditsixel Fairy Designs Meditteranean Summer, Yin template 30 I was RAKed this kit, and I'm sorry to say I can't remember where it came from.

I did a search using Indiana Jones to find it, and I was surprised by how many different layouts it came up with. You might want to try that at a few different sites.

You're right! I used to have a kit for sale in my store - you weren't missing something, it's not there anymore but I will gladly put it back in if you want.

Here's the layout I created using it:

PM me if you like it and you're interested.

Thanks! I purchased Mikkel's kit too. You can never have enough digital elements!!! Unfortunately for my pocket book though, I ended up buying other non-Indiana Jones kits that were on sale too.
