Hello Friends! Today we are looking at two of Chelle’s kits to see how well they work together: About A Boy and Gone Fishin’!  We challenged our team to ramp up their creativity and show us some great digital scrapbooking layouts using these 2 marvelous kits. Look how realistic the rainbow trout looks!

Look at this sunshiny layout by Erica (stanworth). You can’t beat a little boy and his stick. If there’s water nearby, you know that little guy is going to find it and a stick makes it all the more fun. Find some worms that have drowned and you have little boy utopia! I like the way the green looks like a stage and then banner hooks into the “drapes.” Her journaling is awesome as it wraps around the “Stick.” That little guy pulls me right in, even though I only see his back!

Next we have a layout by Carol (Iowan). The fish, the bow & arrow, the clusters, and those hints of color to go with the browns. Carol skillfully added charm to this layout by incorporating bits & pieces of About A Boy with the fish and water drop of Gone Fishin’. Even though Dad doesn’t appear in the picture, you can bet Dad and Grandpa (& Grandma) are right there encouraging their little guy to do his best.

Mel used a great picture of her son, Quentin,  for her layout. Isn’t that a cute way to show he’s 13? The strings and clusters are perfect. The paper strips and the  flowers make this LO very nice and “boy” approved.

Leslie (lab130) just e-mailed me another LO. Oh, this little guy has stolen my heart. He needs a hug from his newly adopted Aunt Sari. Those eyes…. OK back to the subject at hand. Leslie used scallops to perfection. With that little car right next to his face, you can tell, he’s ready to go drive around on all those fun scalloped edges. I can almost hear the car crashing as it reaches the end of the road. Great use of the blue eyes with the blue paper. The wood grain paper is a solid base that pulls it all together. Cutie pie! What a great title.LBeahm-perfect-pairs-aboutaboy-goingfishin

Here are the links to the kits used in these layouts. (Here’s a funny. Some of our ladies used Something Fishy and some used Gone Fishin’. We decided to just show you “3” perfect pairs. LOL

Hope we have given you some great ideas. Perhaps you wouldn’t have put these two (or three) kits together, but now that you see how they work together, I bet you’ll have some great ideas. Scrap them and put them in the gallery. I enjoy seeing what you create. Hugs!
