Beat the Heat | Digital Scrapbooking Classics

We need a way to beat the heat, right? Hi there, Chelle’s fans! It’s Cheryl, again, taking a look at a classic kit in Chelle’s Creations store called Beat the Heat. With the record-setting highs all over the USA, you might need a way to cool off like I do. Take the kids to the neighborhood park with a few frozen treats, and you can get some lovely photos. Your children will be happy and full of smiles, and then maybe you can steal some scrapbooking time while they nap to get those happy memories recorded. I have a few pages from Chelle’s friends to inspire you.

First, take a look at Jen’s page. Those are four of the happiest faces I’ve seen in some time! I love the way she angled the photos to add to the playfulness of the page.

Next, Leah has a delicious page of her sweetie enjoying a vanilla cone. I love the way she blended the large photo into the background, and her cluster of elements from the kit is perfect around her title. Check out that frame on the smaller photo. You can make the same thing using the Beat the Heat Wordart Sticks that coordinate with the kit. And, I personally love the little chalkboard InstaLife card she attached to the top right of the page. It’s from Chelle’s newest release, Chalked InstaLife Cards. 

Here’s a real treat for you: Roxana also used the Beat the Heat kit to make a page that is full of inspirational details. Roxana’s pages are always replete with elements that help to tell a story. Her clusters of frozen pops and spills lead your eye down the page from one cute picture to the next. The strips of papers from the kit are the perfect accents to add the feel of movement, and the bright colors leave you licking your lips for the sweetness. I love how each child is so engrossed in the act of consuming the yummy goodies that they don’t even pause to look at the photographer.

Here’s a closer look at the kit and wordart sticks in the market. Now, I’m off to get a bowl of ice cream before it’s all gone! Stay cool!
