Hello Everyone! I hope you all enjoyed Scrapper’s Bowl and participated in all the challenges. I can tell Bingo was a hit. I’ve found some digital scrapbooking layouts that I wanted to point out to you.

Michelelynne used Play the Game to create the appropriately timed Football Bingo card game.

Chippi used Rainbow Blues & Neutrals for her Bingo cards. I can’t tell which team she supports though? LOL.

Next, Kaytea used Snowlandia to create this beautiful layout. I love the colors of this kit. Those icy blues and purples really emphasize the winter season… or perhaps bruises if you aren’t very coordinated on the ice like me! (LOL)

Next CaroB71 also used Snowalndia to tell about a visit to the movie, “Fozen.”

Last, Spundgeon used Zoopendous to share the joy of going to the Happy Hollow. I like the streamlined look of pocket scrapbooking that allows for multiple pictures.

I love GSOs. I am always amazed at the versatility our fellow digi-scrapper’s use Chelle’s products. I sometimes think so literally that I enjoy seeing those of you can scrap outside the box.

Have a fabulous week!

Classics: Heroes

We’re looking back at a classic digital scrapbooking collab that Chelle and Cheri of Dream Big Designs created called Heroes {Super Bundle}. It’s HUGE, and it includes everything you would ever need to make a fabulous scrapbook page honoring those who serve to protect us. The greatest thing about this collab is that you can purchase it as a giant bundle or you can purchase the sets for specific Heroes separately. There is one each for Fire, Police, and EMT. Chelle’s Creative Team Members have been playing with it, and I have lots of pages to show you today. Rather than make you read my words, I think I’ll just let you drool over the images today. They are outstanding!

Aren’t they all simply amazing? If that’s not inspiration, I don’t know what is. Here’s one last look at the bundle in the market:

Hello. Monday afternoon here in Utah. I found a new favorite digital scrapbooking layout to share from the SO Gallery. This layout was created by Karen32. Her use of the springs and stitch circles makes me think of jouncing and bouncing on a trampoline. She used Jump Zone. What would you create?

Got some gratitude to scrap? Check out how our CT Members to created digital scrapbooking layouts using any of Chelle’s CTR {Choose the Right} Bundle products and Give Thanks! They sound good together right? Chelle has a wide variety of products in the CTR family: Baptism, Missionary, Eternal & Trek. I’ll add links to the bottom of the post so you can see all of them.

CTR {Bundle} Quickies

Carol created this layout using CTR using Make A Missionary from the Missionary Bundle as well as Give Thanks! The incorporation of the two kits is so seamless they appear to have been created together.

Next JennV used CTR {Trek} to build this triangular layout. Do you have some popsicle sticks that your kiddoes could get creative with? Love the use of multiple fonts to create her titles.

Last, Helen used CTR {Trek} for this layout. I love the use of squares and rectangles are used to define areas of her layout with just a few circles for emphasis.

Choose the Right {Eternal}, {Temples}, & {Quickies}

Choose the Right {Missionary Bundle}, {Missionary}, {Sister-Add On}, {Make A Missionary} & {Word Art}

CU Basketweave Patterns Playdate | Digital Scrapbooking Week in Review

Sari

Hello Friends! We’ve had a quiet week as we’re still settling into the new year. This week Chelle released a CU product. CU Basketweave Patterns.

We also talked about the Pantone color of the year, Orchid. Do you have plans for your layouts to be in purple tones, like these? Orchid may be Panatone’s color of the year, but all shades of purple are showing up in trend-watch articles. Here’s a color pallet to look at? If you are a scrapper who likes your clothing to match the kit, better hit the stores looking for these marvelous shades of orchid. LOL!

See you on Monday for a gallery stand out.

Kraftabulous

Chelle's Classics

Chelle has a great kit in the market perfect for helping you to stretch your digital scrapbooking stash. It’s called Kraftabulous, and it is simply a kit of extremely versatile kraft papers with various patterns and textures. Her Creative Team has made some pages to show you how well these papers complement any of Chelle’s kits.

First, Jen used Toadally to make this adorable page about her children enjoying a children’s museum. The patterned kraft paper is a great neutral for the bright spring colors of the Toadally kit.

Next, Krista used a kraft paper with a chevron pattern for her background and combined it with the Play & Grow kit, Jump Zone alpha, a plaid paper from Street Smarts, and a template from Little Green Frog Designs. I love the movement across the page conveyed by the template design and the chevron pattern.

Next, Tammy used a freebie template from Fiddle Dee Dee Designs with Chelle’s Snowlandia kit and a diamond-patterned kraft paper for the perfect combination. I love the way the blues and purples look on the brown Kraftabulous paper.

Finally, Donna made a double page using a Scrapping with Liz template and Chelle’s Letters from Home with a plaid patterned Kraftabulous paper. Again, it’s another perfect combination.

The team has shown you that all colors go well with the Kraftabulous papers. Here’s a closer look at the set in the market. I hope you’ll be inspired to create something new with it soon.

Hello Friends!

How is your January scrapping coming? I was just over looking at the gallery at Scrap Orchard. I found a layout I wanted to share. Zanthia122 created a sweet layout of her wonderful little baby. She used CTR {Eternal}. Aren’t the grays and light greens just elegant together?
