Scrap Skills: Using Word Bits

Word bits are some of my favorite elements in today’s digital scrapbooking kits. I love them because I don’t like to journal (I know, fifty lashes with a wet noodle!), and word bits allow me to tell the story without much trouble. Just pop a few bits of predesigned word art onto the page and I’m done! Let me show you a few pages as examples.

Now don’t be shocked, but I’ve decided to show you one of my own pages. I haven’t scrapped much this year due to a crazy work schedule, but I was able to make this page of my son’s high school graduation in just a few minutes by using Chelle’s word art and word bits in her Graduation kit. I love the time savings I get from using the word art, and that little grad-u-ate word bit will add a nice touch to any graduation page. By the way, that frame with the little word bit on it was a freebie made by one of Chelle’s talented team members, and you can still grab it here. 

Next, Donna made a double page spread using the Something Fishy bundle and a Yin template. She used the word bits to label the sea animals in her photos on the page, and they look awesome.

Finally, Jenn combined two of Chelle’s kits (Pizza Amore and One Year Older) and a template from Cluster Queen. She made her own word bits to coordinate with her page. Isn’t it fantastic?

So, whether you make your own word bits or use the ones included in Chelle’s kits, I would encourage you to do so. They add an element of texture and give you a place for some simple but meaningful words.
