Gallery Stand Outs | Digital Scrapbooking Ideas

Hello Friends! I found some great digital scrapbooking layouts in the SO Gallery to share with you. I hope you are inspired and can think of several ways to scraplift these layouts.

First up is Mrs. Ashbaugh. She used One Year Older. I like the blocking style she used. Great photos of the little one.

Next, DoggiNo created this fun layout using At the Beach. How cute is the toenail polish? Gotta say that when I do paint my nails, I’m not this creative. Love the use of shapes and banners.

Next Zanthia122 created this fun layout using Play and Grow. I love the way the pictures are “tossed” around on the page.

2014 8.5×11 Calendar Playdate | Digital Scrapbooking Inspiration

Hi Ladies! On this lovely Saturday morning here in Utah, we are having SNOW! I love to watch snow accumulate on the trees and make them all so picturesque.  Snow makes me think about how close we are to the end of 2013. Have you completed a calendar for 2014? This week Chelle and the Creative Team worked on 8.5×11 calendar toppers. Here, let me show you.

Now let me show you some examples of the digital scrapbooking calendars they created.

First a cover that Christine (CarolinaScrapper) created. Christine also provided the following link if you want to add the wordart to your calendar.

I’ll be back on Monday with some Gallery Stand Outs to share with you. See you then.

Family Tree

Have you seen Chelle’s classic kit Family Tree? It is perfect for scrapping family togetherness, family reunions, or family history pages. But, with its yummy earth tones and hues of orange and green, it is also a great selection if you are scrapping fall photos or photos of other special memories. Let me show you some examples by Chelle’s Creative Team.

Carol had a colorized photo from 1947 that looks fantastic with this kit. She erased part of the background of the image, but otherwise that is the original photo in digital form you see on her page. The colors in the photo and the colors of the Family Tree kit are a perfect match. See that great title she used? It’s in Chelle’s coordinating Word Art for the kit, and it saved Carol tons of time using it instead of creating it from scratch.Familiesareforever_zps9145c635

Next, Krista also had a family photo to scrap. She did a great job editing her photo: first she changed it to black and white, and then she added a color layer of brown matching the color of one of the papers. She placed that color layer above the photo layer and clipped it to the photo, then she adjusted the blending mode until she was happy with the results. What do you think? It’s a perfect match. Family_krista

Heather is new on Chelle’s team, and I am thrilled to be able to feature a page of hers. She used the Family Tree kit to record a memory about seeing the temple as she travelled. She tells the story of her dad singing a little song in the family car as they approached the temple, and it signaled to her they were close to home after any trip. I love the striped paper she chose for her background, don’t you? 11-13_Whocanseethetempleheather

Finally, Leah has given us a gorgeous page she has made to remind her to eat a balanced meal – totally off-topic from the theme of this kit, but I’m sure you will agree with me that she could not have chosen a better match. Her flower clusters around the photos and journaling are fantastic. And, I love the way she blended paint layers onto the background. Did you notice the vines back there? They are my favorite element in this kit.33010leah

Here’s a closer look at Family Tree in the market. It’s a great kit to have in your stash. cc_familytree_preview_2post

Hey Everyone! I found some digital scrapbooking layouts in the Scrap Orchard gallery that I wanted to share with you.

Hello Friends! I loved digital scrapbooking day! The games were tons of fun. (Though I still only found 3 of the 4 railroads in Scrapopoly!) It was fun to get to know some of our fellow scrappers! I’ve been looking through the gallery to see what our “peeps” have been up to, and I have some layouts to share with you. They are all very different.

First I have ScrappinRae. She used Pizza & Pasta to highlight her little one’s food-wearing activities. Great cluster with the pot.

Classics: Scribbles 2 Alpha

Ever feel the need to add a hand-written touch to your digital scrapbooking pages? You could grab some colored pencils and doodle a title right on your page after you print it, or you could just use Chelle’s Creations Scribble 2 Alpha. Chelle did all the hard part for you. All you have to do is plop those individual letters onto your page. Her team has been busy creating layouts to show you this alpha in use.

Jenny has a great page for this time of year. She used Chelle’s Carve it Up kit with the Scribbles 2 alpha in black – a perfect combination. I love the effect of the scribble writing on the trimmed notebook paper. It really adds to the texture well. 30707

Next, Ophelia has used Chelle’s new Game On kit with the Scribbles 2 alpha in a gray shade, perfectly matching the hue of the grays in the kit. Looks like that Monopoly game was a ton of fun!  2013-05-28-gameofmonopoly_sm

Finally, Jenn had a flight to Utah in which she was able to capture some gorgeous shots of the scenery out of the window. Even though the flight didn’t go well after those first few images, she made the best of it by creating this beautiful page. She also used the alpha in a gray color to match the grays in Chelle’s Aviator kit. 39_2013_flyGO_600_zpse8c72cf5

The Scribbles 2 alpha (preview shown below and linked to the market) comes in black AND it comes with brush files making it ultra easy to recolor to match any color on your layout. Need some help? Chelle has lots of videos on her YouTube channel that teach you how, and she has one specifically for this alpha. Check it out here. cc_scribbles2
