I am really excited about today’s blog post because I get to tell you about a truly wonderful digital scrapbooking kit, Oh Come Let Us Adore Him. It just so happens this is my all-time favorite Christmas kit on the market, bar none. I have a real affinity for Christmas kits, and I have been known to purchase far too many of them. I have lots of kits I have never used, and yet, I have made dozens of things from this kit and the quickies including Christmas cards, calendar pages, coffee mugs and yes, even scrapbook pages. Chelle’s creative team members love this kit as much as I do, and they have made some pages to show you.
Karen made a page with a blended photo of a nativity scene that she and her children use every year, and of course, this kit is perfect for it. I love how she included Luke 2:11 on her page, and I love the way she has repeated the “Away in a Manger” song words element from the kit to tie all the elements of the page together. The words are subtle since they are dark on a blue background, but they are very powerful in conveying the meaning of the page and the season.
Jan also had a nativity scene in a photograph to show us. She recently visited Hershey Park and was impressed by the site of the crèche outside the entrance to the park. Her page looks like she has added dozens of nice little touches, and she has, but her secret is that she has taken advantage of Chelle’s help by using a quickie background paper, already decorated, and a frame cluster for her photo. All she needed to add was the journaling and the title art and she was finished with a beautifully decorated page.
Finally, Dagi has made a photoless page that shows simply and beautifully the story of Christmas. This page would make a beautiful calendar top for the month of December, or it would be a lovely cover for a photobook of your December memories or a December daily project. The felt people look real enough to touch, and I love the effect of the red patterned paper cut in a wavy pattern.
Be sure you take a close look at the kit and the quickies in the market. You can also purchase the felties alone, if you like. By the way, I always buy the quickies Chelle makes because when I use them, it’s like having Chelle scrapbook for me, so it saves me time, and my pages look professional when I’m done. I hope you’ll take advantage of them, too. And, I hope your Christmas celebrations include looking closely at the nativity scenes you see to discover the meaning of Christmas.
