Leafy Treetops | Digtal Scrapbooking Classics

It’s starting to get green, finally, where I live, so my everyday photos are beginning to have some fresh flowers and new growth in them, and I can’t wait to make some spring digital scrapbooking pages with them. I’ve found a perfect mini kit in Chelle’s store to use to capture that refreshing feel on my pages: Leafy Treetops. It has trees, fountains, birds, butterflies, some perfect word art cards, and one of the best banners in existence. Her fabulous team has been playing with this classic mini kit this week, and they all think that banner is tops, too. Let’s take a look at how they each used it (plus all the other goodies in the kit!).

First, Ophelia had some of the most adorable photos of her little girl discovering a new leaf. She captured the wonder in her eyes so perfectly, and she used this cheerful mini kit to draw attention to that sweet face. Isn’t that banner the best? She has used it well to bring out her daughter’s eyes, and I love the bright word art tag she has used for a title.2012-10-24-youaremysunshine_sm

Next, Erica also had an adorable photo of her little one, and she used the banner to draw attention to her little one’s face. His grin is contagious! And, the bright colors in the kit perfectly match the cheerful mood and sunshine evident in his smile. I really like how she has bordered her page top and bottom with the plaid paper from the kit.  Leafy Treetop- by Chelle's Creations TT Mar13- YBD

Jenn took a different type of photo, an indoor photo of two very special people on a special day. You might not think of this kit as one for your prom pictures, but look how perfectly it goes with Jenn’s photo of her lovely young lady in that gorgeous blue gown. Did you spot the banner? There it is doing its best to draw my attention to that great photo, and “One fine day” truly is a perfect title for this page. 18054Jennifer

I have one last page to show you that is a hybrid project. Leslie has a display board in her house that she uses to post a calendar each month. She made her May calendar from Chelle’s Leafy Treetops mini kit, and she printed it and uses it to organize her days and keep her happy in the process. I love the bird sitting on the bird bath and the little worm crawling away from him. And, there’s that awesome banner again, hanging out at the top, perfectly accenting the title. May-calendar

Now let’s look at the goodies our Creative Team has made using these two fabulous kits! First up is Ronnie. Her black and white photo really pulls you in and make you want to look at the little fellow to see who he is and why he’s separated from the other children. The banner cluster work is lovely work.

EIEIO | Digital Scrapbooking Classics

Today we’re looking back at a favorite kit, EIEIO. You can see a preview of it just below here (and the image is linked to the market). But, be sure to check out the additional items in the market like the quickies and the Felties, and the Bundle is always a great choice if you like to save some money.cc_eieio_preview_2post

Want to see some inspirational layouts with it? I thought so! First, Leslie has some pictures of her two cute boys feeding the horses on a recent outing. The chicken wire is a perfect backdrop, and the buttoned stars form a nice visual triangle. Also, notice how effectively she used the alpha in the kit. The first word in her title is all caps, and she mixed that with a font, and then the word horses is written with the upper and lower case alphas.LABeahm-EIEIO

Ronnie also had some photos of her children feeding horses, but these horses were miniature ones in Kentucky, the land of horses. She tells the story of her children wanting to take one home. They are adorable, almost as adorable as the page she made. That border of paper pieces shows a great way to use lots of papers from a kit on a page, and the corn stalk and fence help to anchor her photos. They add the perfect accent to the layout. Chelle Creations - Eio Eio Template - Shannon McNab

Helen had some photos of her children at a petting zoo, and EIEIO is perfect for these kinds of photos. Look carefully at the little felt animals she has tucked in around the photos on the page, and the banner she made with the pieces of the kit is simply amazing.  helen_eieio

Finally, Carol’s page is not about animals at all, really. Her husband is a school teacher, and we all know that good teachers will go to great lengths to reach their students. Dave had a fake tattoo of a pig drawn on his arm to fulfill a student’s wish to see Dave’s rumored tattoo, which he didn’t have. And, Carol got to make a great scrapbook page to record the event. I love how she told the story on that card attached to the ribbon hanger. The-Fake-Tattoo_zps01fdfd46Carol

I hope you’ve been inspired to check out this classic kit. If you make pages with it, I’d love to see them! Just pin them in the Scrap Orchard gallery and tag them with #chelle or #cc so I can leave you some love.
