Christmas Hybrid Projects | Digital Scrapbooking Ideas

Hello Friends! Looking for some quick digital scrapbooking hybrid ideas? Need neighbor gifts, teacher gifts,  or something easy you can make and give to those important people in your life? Our ladies have provided some great ideas.

Let me show you. Krista (kc71595) created these fun lift-up tags. I think I might need some of them.

Krista (kc71595) She used Ho! Ho! Ho!

Here’s another example from Krista. She used Home for the Holiday & Chalked {Outline Alphas}.

Kimberly (EnjoyYourPix) used the same template, but look how different these are. You could easily make multiple gifts using different papers. I love this idea. Although Krista & Kimberly didn’t collaborate on the idea, they both turned out wonderful I can’t decide which Christmas Kit I want to make them out of.

Kimberly (EnjoyYourPix) She used Naughty or Nice

Classics: Chalked {snowflakes}

With the onset of winter in the Northern Hemisphere, designers are turning their creativity toward snow and various kits that have snow themes. Chelle’s Creations has a great set of chalked snowflakes that goes well with any of the kits you have already, I’m sure. Adding this product is a great way to stretch your stash. Check out the great ways the CTMs have used this.

First, Jenn has used the snowflakes in large form on a chalkboard background, and it looks fantastic with her photo of the onset of winter. I love how she used buttons in the centers of the chalked snowflakes. 59_2013_WelcomeWinter_600_zpsa46ee887-1

Next, Ophelia has used the chalked snowflakes as accents all around her page. I love all the purples and blues in her cheerful layout. 2013-03-08-freshsnow_sm

Next, Krista used the Chalked {snowflakes} with Snowlandia and the Snowlandia {alphas}– a perfect combination of kits – to document the photos she took of a winter storm in her area. 34252

JennS used the snowflakes to make a Christmas page with Maddie’s adorable photos from Christmas 2012. She also used the Chalked {boards} and some elements from Capture Your December. maddiesfirstopening

Next, Carol used a smattering of Chelle’s kits including Snowlandia, Penalty Box, Anchors Aweigh, We Wish You a Merry Christmas, Graduation, Home for the Holidays, Tutu Cute, and Ho, Ho, Ho to make her most excellent page. seattle-itschristmastimeinthecity_zps624fb4b9

And finally, Heather used Home for the Holidays Bundle, Chalked Cards {Winter}, In the Pocket {Small} and the Chalked {Snowflakes} to make a perfect blocked page about her little one playing in the snow. home4holidays_CC_HDC-WEB

Gallery Stand Outs | Digital Scrapbooking Layouts

Hello Friends! I hope you are enjoying Cyber Monday and taking time out to do some digital scrapbooking layouts. I’ve been over looking in the Scrap Orchard gallery. You ladies always AMAZE me with your creativity. Let me show you a few of my favorite layouts for the week.

My first layout to share is by LoriJ. I think this would be an excellent idea for preteens to give to their girlfriends for Christmas!. She used Northlandia by Chelle’s Creations & Ziggle Designs. So creative.

LoriJ

This layout by KalaMae just pulled me in so quickly. I had to stop and look it over closely, figuring out all the different elements she used. I really love the photos and use of the frosted leaves. Beautiful!

Classics: We Wish You a Merry Christmas

I know it’s still a couple of days before Thanksgiving in the USA, but the Christmas season has already begun for me. My first holiday concert of the season was this past weekend, and I have some photos to scrap. I know just which products of Chelle’s I will use: We Wish You a Merry Christmas. In the bundle are the kit, the add-on, and the carols, but if you’re shopping, don’t miss the quickies. They’re a great time saver, and in this busy holiday season, I can use all the help I can get saving time.

Chelle’s CT ladies have been making pages to inspire us. First, Jan has a page about her Santa Lucia celebration, and the bundle matches the theme of her photos perfectly.  santalucia

Next, Karen used her photos from the Magic Kingdom to make a page. The colors in the kit match the colors of the Christmas décor at Walt Disney World perfectly, and I love the blocked layout she chose to show lots of photos.joytotheworld2010w

Jenn chose to use this holiday kit to record her memories of a favorite place where the family gathers to celebrate. I love the little cardinals peeking out of the clusters of greenery on her page.joytotheworld

Leah has a double page layout for us. Her large photo that spans the background of both sides of the page makes a big impact, doesn’t it? 33354

Finally, Heather chose to make her page with her family portraits. It looks like she planned their outfits based on the papers in Chelle’s kit, but I know that isn’t true. Still, the colors and plaids in the kit are the perfect complement to the colors those adorable children are wearing. 11-12_FamilyPhotos-WEB

I can’t wait to get started on my page. Here’s a closer look at the kit in the market, and don’t forget there’s an add-on, carols, and quickies in the market, too. If you want to save a bit, purchase the bundle and all you will need in addition is the quickies. cc_wishumerry_kit
