This video demonstrates how to create your own titles with the adorable hand-doodled alpha, Scribbles 2.
Digital Scrapbook Tutorial – Using Alpha Stamps – Scribbles 2

Here is some inspiration on how to use this super cute alpha.

I love the way Helen (winipeg1) used various colors to create her title. She used Carrot Patch to create this darling layout.

Jenny (jenn18) left the alpha black on her layout. Just look at that cutie! She used Capture Your December and a template by Little Green Frog Designs.

This bright sunny layout by Krista (kc71595) just screams spring. She did a fantastic job of mixing the Scribbles aplha with a font to create her title. For this layout she used Bluebird on My Shoulder and a template by Fiddle Dee Dee.

The video features the Scribbles 2 Alpha and Letters from Home Quickies.

Next time your stuck on how to title your page try this simple solution using the Scribbles 2 alpha.

See you next time!

Getting Creative with Buttons and Brads 2.22.12

Hello digital scrapbooking friends. Today I would like to share with you a few ideas about how to use the buttons and brads found in so many of Chelle’s Creations kits. Chelle’s creative team has come up with some fun ways to use these items.
Karen combined buttons from different Chelle’s Creations kits to create this colorful frame around her photo. It may have been a little time consuming but I think it definately makes one amazing page.

Monica used the buttons to represent bubbles on her adorable page.

Jenn used buttons to create a decortive layer on her page.

Ophelia added four basketball brads to her page. The first three are them semi-transparent with a dotted line added to show the movement of the ball. The fourth brad is in the basket.
