We’re taking a look at a classic digital scrapbooking kit today: Mane Event. It’s a terrific kit for scrapping about your child’s first hair cut, or a teen’s up-do for prom, or even a mom’s adventurous side letting a young one practice braiding skills on her (right Jenn?). But, this kit is also great for non-hair related themes because of the bright, cheerful color scheme. Chelle’s very Creative Team members have made some gorgeous new layouts to show how versatile this kit is. Watch out! There’s even a page dedicated to a place some call the “happiest place on earth!”

First, let’s look at Erica’s page of a child’s first haircut. Erica is a hairstylist, and she assures me that every baby’s first haircut instantly transforms him from baby to toddler. That fact is evident in her layout. I love that cluster of scissors, comb, and string on the top right. Next, take a look at Carol’s page. She used the Mane Event Add-on kit. Look closely at what her granddaughter is doing with that comb before she combs grandpa’s hair. So CUTE! But, I’m sure he didn’t mind.  Now, look at Jenn’s page. Remember that adventurous mom I mentioned? I think her daughter did a great job with the mermaid braid on her first try. I know I can’t do any better. And, I think Jenn was smart to make a scrapbook page about it. Sometimes, the fun, everyday moments are the ones we need to remember when days aren’t so fun. Finally, you need to take a look at Heather’s page. She is a Disney fan, through and through, and she participates in a scrapper’s forum online where she was challenged to make a page about a recent trip to the “happiest place on earth.” The challenge was to do a scavenger hunt through her pictures of specific things that could be seen in the park. She chose Chelle’s Creations Mane Event kit and her Askew Templates, and they a perfect match for her pictures. Look how she was able to fit lots of photos and journal boxes on the page and how the purple brings out the happiness of the photos. Here’s a closer look at these kits in the market. Images are linked, if you want to click and shop. And, if you are interested in a bargain, here’s the bundle of the Mane Event kit, the Add-on, an alpha, and Word Art:
