CHELLE is RETIRING Entire store is 50% off

My Dear Friends,

For the past year as I’ve struggled with taking better care of myself and taking care of my family and my business, I’ve prayerfully sought direction from the Lord. When my daughter returned from her mission the answer to my prayers became clear. I need to retire. I know this is the right decision but it is still not an easy choice to make.
I will be forever grateful for the opportunity I have had to be part of Scrap Orchard and the friendships I’ve made. I will miss you all.
My store will close at the end of the month after a retirement sale:

Frequently asked questions:

*Are you moving to a different store? No. I will no longer be designing. My designs will not be available anywhere else. Grab it while you can.

* Can I still buy one of your classes? What about the videos? You may still watch the videos ONLINE through 3.31.16. Video settings have been changed now so that you can DOWNLOAD the videos and keep a copy for yourself to watch indefinitely.

*  What about a class I’ve purchased from you in the past? You may still watch the videos ONLINE through 3.31.16. Video settings have been changed now so that you can DOWNLOAD the videos and keep a copy for yourself to watch indefinitely.

* How long will I have to download my purchases? That policy is set by the store owners/staff, but I’m sure it will be a reasonable amount of time.

* What about the designer club? There are details in the design club forum. Basically all club members will be refunded through 12.1.15 Club webinars cannot be downloaded, but you are welcome to watch and record your screen for future use. Webinars can be WATCHED through 7.31.16 (when my subscription expires).

* Will you have any more new products? Yes. I have a template set (freebies from the SO blog) that will be released 12.18 and my Winter Candyland products from my advent day will be released 12.25.

* What about freebies on your blog? Facebook fan club group? My blog/website will remain until my subscription is up. It doesn’t make sense for me to keep paying in perpetuity for everything. So as my subscriptions expire, things will vanish. If you want them, you should act quickly.

* Remember, I’m not dropping off the face of the earth. I just need to not do this as a business anymore. You can still email me if you need something.

11.25.15 FORTY items for just $1 – this weekend only + THREE FREEBIES | Digital Scrapbook Freebie

Hey Scrappers,

Happy Thanksgiving to those of you celebrating in the USA.  Happy Thursday to everyone else.  :)

It is one of the most exciting weekends in the digital scrapbook world.  TWENTY items for just ONE DOLLAR

I have 3 NEW items (I’ll get to those in a few minutes) and 17 old favorites…CLICK ON THE IMAGE to take a closer look!

NEW NEW NEW!  Did you see those first 3?  Here they are up close and personal.
I’m not sure why I love pink in a Christmas kit…maybe it stems back to my childhood.  My mother always wanted to have a “fancy” tree.  Her first one was a white plastic tree which she filled to the brim with PINK lights and decorations.  She now has 3 trees, and there is still a pink tree at her house.
Whatever the reason, it was the perfect color scheme to create the much requested Nutcracker themed mini-kit.

And the alpha.  SWOON!  I love the quirky formality of this alpha.  I can tell it’s going to be used over and over again.

AND…every year I make an end of year blocked template with the numbers of that year.  But I get requests for other years…and birthday years…and…  This year I decided to do all of the numbers.  They are each sized approximately 6 inches wide by 10 inches tall, so 2 numbers fit perfectly side by side on a layout, or 4 numbers across a double layout spread.  Now you can use them for birthdays, graduations, reunions…whatever numerical memories you have.

And now for the freebies!

11.24.15 O Holy Night

Have you thought about making a Christmas card this year? Making a digital card with Chelle’s Classic kit O Holy Night is as easy as 1-2-3. First, you’ll need the kit. Second, you’ll need the word art. Finally, you’ll need a cute family snapshot. You can make your creation digitally and then order custom cards printed at any number of retail printers.

Karen has a digital scrapbooking page to show us that she made with O Holy Night and the coordinating word art. I love what she did with the hint of sheet music in the cluster of elements around her frame. Take a look!  fdd_ffMM3_tp3_600

Now take a second look back at her page. I think her layout would make a fantastic Christmas card to send out to her friends and family. She could switch out the photo with one from the current year and change the date on the page, then crop the entire page to whatever card size she wanted and she would have a professional card for the year, custom made.

Want to play? Here’s the kit and the word art in the market.

11.23.15 Gadanke Journaling Method | Digital Scrapbooking Resources

Hey Friends! Today I want to share a digital scrapbooking journaling method that Chelle told me about.  It’s called Gadanke.  Check out Katie Clemons web site and ideas.

Here’s a quote from Katie’s Gadanke Website.

“Here’s my secret 5-step formula for writing a quick, in-depth journal entry.

I know. You wouldn’t think “quick” and “in-depth” could come together. So hear me out. Watch this 5-minute workshop and try the exercise a couple of times. You’ll be cranking out these insightful little entries faster than you can turn the calendar to next week’s workshop. ”

In this workshop video, I’m using:

Now let me show you what Donna created using the Gadanke journaling method.

11.19.15 Video Tutorial: Recoloring with a Color Fill

I know I love Chelle’s kit and all the fun elements she includes such as bubble wrap, rub-on, hand drawn scatters and doodles. There are times though, that a theme of a kit works perfectly for a set of photos I have but the colors are little off. I’m here today to share with you a trick of Chelle’s on how to recolor those flat objects found within her kit. Take a look at the video to see how.

Being able to recolor some of the elements opens up a wide variety of things you can do. Let’s take a look at Chelle’s CT member Kayla (keepscrappin) and see what she does.

For her layout Kayla used the Hard Hat Required kit and Hard Hat Required {alpha} with a template by Fiddle-Dee-Dee. Kayla wanted the bubble wrap from the kit to be black as well as the stamped design on the template to be black. She followed Chelle’s steps and this layout is her outcome.

Did you love the kit used in the video? Head over to her store to check it out and see all the other terrific creations that are in there.

If you create a page using this video technique or any of Chelle’s products be sure to share them in the Scrap Orchard gallery. We love seeing what you create. Happy scrapping!

Here’s a layout by Karen. I soooo love this layout. Got to say though, I didn’t know there was a duct tape holiday. What a fun use of all the colors. I think Olaf is my favorite duct tape creature.
