Do you love gardening, or even just playing in the dirt? Chelle has several digital scrapbooking kits that are perfect for photos of your yard or garden projects, but two of my favorites are Gnome Sweet Gnome and the Gnome Sweet Gnome Add-on. The dirt splatters and little felt gnome statues are just two of the many whimsical elements perfect for gardening pages. Chelle’s team members have been playing with these kits and have some terrific layouts for us.

First, Kayla has a gorgeous page with one of Chelle’s new In the Pocket {Strips} templates and the Gnome Sweet Gnome Collection. Her daughter is a poser and insisted on having her picture taken in their flower garden on her first day of Kindergarten. I think it was a very smart idea, don’t you? And, I love that pink flamingo and the crocheted flower accenting one of the rectangular paper shapes. PrettyPoser_Aug11_web_zps795398e3

Next, Ronnie has a beautiful layout for us in keeping with the theme of these kits. She visited the Dallas Arboretum, which is a must-see when in Dallas, in my opinion. She saw the gorgeous flowers there and took lots of photos of them, but she captured a really cute picture of her son enjoying the grounds there, too. The brown background and the dirt splat with the gnome are used perfectly here. Chelle Creations - Gnome Sweet Gnome<br />

Finally, to show you the versatility of these kits, Lynett used them for a page that is not about gardening. After a day visiting grandparents, her son and his dog fell asleep in the car, and she couldn’t resist snapping some photos of them. They both look so relaxed and peaceful. The cluster of leaves and ribbons across the top, and the dirt splat behind the photos on the bottom are the perfect enhancements to her adorable photos. sleepyboys_zpseece04ab Mel also made a non-themed layout for us. She had a terrific picture of her boys laughing and giggling (yes, boys do that sometimes, and it’s worth catching in a photo!). The angled design of the page and the bright, cheery colors give the whole page a fun and happy look.Laugh-Out-Loud
