EIEIO | Digital Scrapbooking Classics

Today we’re looking back at a favorite kit, EIEIO. You can see a preview of it just below here (and the image is linked to the market). But, be sure to check out the additional items in the market like the quickies and the Felties, and the Bundle is always a great choice if you like to save some money.

Want to see some inspirational layouts with it? I thought so! First, Leslie has some pictures of her two cute boys feeding the horses on a recent outing. The chicken wire is a perfect backdrop, and the buttoned stars form a nice visual triangle. Also, notice how effectively she used the alpha in the kit. The first word in her title is all caps, and she mixed that with a font, and then the word horses is written with the upper and lower case alphas.

Ronnie also had some photos of her children feeding horses, but these horses were miniature ones in Kentucky, the land of horses. She tells the story of her children wanting to take one home. They are adorable, almost as adorable as the page she made. That border of paper pieces shows a great way to use lots of papers from a kit on a page, and the corn stalk and fence help to anchor her photos. They add the perfect accent to the layout.

Helen had some photos of her children at a petting zoo, and EIEIO is perfect for these kinds of photos. Look carefully at the little felt animals she has tucked in around the photos on the page, and the banner she made with the pieces of the kit is simply amazing. 

Finally, Carol’s page is not about animals at all, really. Her husband is a school teacher, and we all know that good teachers will go to great lengths to reach their students. Dave had a fake tattoo of a pig drawn on his arm to fulfill a student’s wish to see Dave’s rumored tattoo, which he didn’t have. And, Carol got to make a great scrapbook page to record the event. I love how she told the story on that card attached to the ribbon hanger.

I hope you’ve been inspired to check out this classic kit. If you make pages with it, I’d love to see them! Just pin them in the Scrap Orchard gallery and tag them with #chelle or #cc so I can leave you some love.
