Let’s Eat! Pizza & Pasta Yumminess

You are in for a real treat today, Chelle’s Creations fans. Not only will you see inspirational digital scrapbooking pages using two of Chelle’s great kits, but you’ll have a couple of recipes to try from one of Chelle’s CT members. We’ve got the perfect pair of kits to use today: Pizza Amore and Pasta La Feasta.

First, let’s look at a page by Carol. She’s a world traveler, trying to keep up with her kids all over, and she tells us about a recent trip to Europe. She and her husband arrived in London after 15 hours of traveling and were starved. They found an Italian restaurant where they were the only patrons and enjoyed private dining. Her large photo on the page tells the story perfectly, and Chelle’s embellishments of olive oil and breadsticks are the perfect accents to her smaller featured photo. private-dinning-_zps4a02dbe4

Next, Karen had some photos of a special dining experience at Mama Melrose’s. She used the left side of Chelle’s Lay it On Me Double template combined with the two featured kits (which, by the way, are also sold as a bundle here). I love the way she used the banners as a background accent for all her photos. mamamelrose_600

Finally, Donna tells me when she finds a recipe she likes or a family recipe she doesn’t want to lose, she makes a lovely digital recipe card and prints it. The following two recipe cards started with a template from Shabby Princess, and Donna used Chelle’s Pizza Amore and Pasta La Feasta to decorate them. The tomato pie recipe is a combination of a family favorite and one she found on Pinterest while the Pizza Crust recipe was included with her bread machine.

Unlikely Pairs! Play the Game & Get Your Grill On | Digital Scrapbooking Kit Combinations

Hello Friends! What does digital scrapboking with  Play the Game & Get Your Grill On make you think of? Easy for me… TAILGATING. Yummy! Donna & Heather came up with these fantastic layouts. For you friends that live outside the US. Tailgating is what happens for several hours or even a day prior to a major College or Professional sporting event. I associate it mostly with Football (the US Football not soccer.) Tailgating doesn’t have to be for football. It can be for any sport. I think the weather or time of year makes Football the sport that fits the best!

Let’s see what the ladies came up with. Donna made this layout showing how her family tailgates for Pittsburg Steeler game. Love those shirts they are wearing.

Classics: Toil & Trouble

Hi Chelle’s Creations friends! It’s almost October, and that means it’s time for costume parties, carving pumpkins, and cauldrons brewing up fun! If you’re in the market for a great digital scrapbooking kit with a Halloween feel, check out Toil & Trouble. It’s full of all the spooky papers and elements you need to tell your fall & Halloween stories. Chelle’s talented team members have a couple of ideas to inspire you.

First, check out Kimberly’s digital scrapbooking page. She used a template by Fiddle-Dee-Dee Designs and Chelle’s Toil & Trouble to make this adorable page about her children dressed up and trick or treating. I love the cluster of word art with the cute witch and her broom on the lower right. It’s just too cute to be scary.  2006_10_31_fdd_ffPennants7_tp4_zps0a071350

Krista used the kit to make a card with a tag that actually slides on the card. The template is by WendyBird Designs. I love the way she hid the black cat behind the tag so that he is revealed when the tag is pulled upward. And, then she made a beautiful page to showcase her wonderful card creation.  SlidingTagCardPreview_

Here’s a closer look at the kit in the market. The image is linked.  cc_toilntroubleby_Cheryl
