Maybe you remember from last month that when two digital scrapbook kits can combine easily we call that perfect pairs. Today we have some terrific examples of this using the two kits History Lessons and Fireworks. The colors in these 2 kits blend perfectly together and can be used for an infinite number of events. First, Jami created this very patriotic page of her two boys dressed in red, white, and blue.
Next, Shari produced a perfect page about a visit to Washington, D.C., with these two kits.
Also, Heather made a trip to EPCOT recently, and she has shared with us a page made about an unusual visit to the American Adventure in the World Showcase there.
Finally, here’s a stunning layout by Jan with some awesome fireworks behind the Washington Monument . 
Here’s a closer look at the two featured kits in the market: 
I’m excited to own these two kits! They’re both open on my desktop right now while I plan the pages I’ll make with pictures from this week’s activities including Veteran’s Day and a welcome home party for Wounded Warriors.

Thanks for stopping by!
Hi! Cheryl here, and I’m thrilled to show you some new digital scrapbook creations with a yummy kit (one of my personal favorites!!) called Sunnyside Up. Cara made a terrific page that is actually a note to her son about why she can’t understand how he can skip breakfast. There must be a million of us moms who can relate to that! But, look at this page with that yummy egg peeking out from behind the words, and see if it doesn’t make you hungry like it does for me.
This kit is also perfect for those cute character breakfast photos you have, and Carol used it to make an adorable page with her daughter’s breakfast with that famous Pooh bear Winnie. Just look how well the pink grapefruit and jam elements pick up on her pink jacket.
Did I mention this kit is one of my favorites? It’s versatile and perfect for many events, not just breakfast gatherings. Check out Erica’s page of her precious baby learning to handle his own snacks in his high chair. I can’t tell which cereal pieces came with the kit and which ones are in her photos – so cute!
Speaking of cute, have you seen Fonetta’s Littlest Sunshine? The warm colors and the elements in the kit look amazing with her beautiful daughter’s photos, and those paper frames highlight her sweetness perfectly.
Here’s a closer look at the kit.
Have fun with Sunnyside Up. I’m hungry now, so I’m going to find my favorite waffle recipe.
Hi everyone, Janine here with this weeks idea to stretch your mind and stretch your stash. Many people, like to use just one kit when they are completing a page and there is nothing wrong with that, but a great way to stretch your stash and your mind is to use two kits you wouldn’t normally think would go together and find a way to combine them on a page. This week a few of the CT girls and I created pages using two kits that you wouldn’t normally put together they are:
E-I-E-I-O by Chelle’s Creations:
The other kit we paired with it was Chillin’ and Grillin’ by Chelle’s Creations:
Here are the layouts we came up with:
a two-pager by Kairyn:
by Jenn S.:
here is one from me (Janine):
by Heather:
So get out there and stretch your stash and your brain by using to kits you wouldn’t think to put together. Have a wonderful week!
Hello! It’s Jenn S. here today to showcase one of Chelle’s classic kits: In Harmony. Every month we choose a classic kit and give ideas for creating both themed and non-themed layouts with the kit. This month the creative team really outdid themselves creating some fresh new layouts for inspiration.
First let’s look at the themed layouts following the music theme of this kit. Here’s one from Cara. Check out that rocking blend!
And here is another one from Melissa. Notice the fabulous clustering!
Now, maybe you don’t want to create a layout that has to do with the theme of the kit. Creating non-themed layouts really stretches the use of your kits. A great kit has lots of papers and elements that can work for many things. This kit is no exception. Here’s a non-themed layout from Roxana. She managed to do a non-music themed Disney layout. I love the colors she chose!
And not to be outdone, Jenn K made a two page spread of her boys. I love the blocking and blending she did!
So, you see how you can use the same kit for so many different types of layouts! Here’s a closer look at the kit:
Have fun getting the most out of your kits!
It is another play date here at Chelle’s Creations! The CT gals had some serious fun playing with Chelle’s releases this week. Check out the gorgeousness!

Hi! I'm Chelle: a 40 something mom of 7. My husband & I live in a rural community in the rocky mountains with our 4 children still at home. In the winters we enjoy sledding & snuggling by the fire. I the cool fall evenings we love relaxing around the campfire & meeting friends at the county fair. Admiring the stars 
on a clear summer night and splashing in spring mud puddles. We love making memories together. Me? I love blueberries, fresh salmon, creating, memory keeping, & above all my family & my faith.
