Using Frames

Most digital scrapbook designers include frames in most of their kits, and Chelle’s Creations kits are no exception. Most of us think to frame our pictures with them, but they can be used in many other ways. Chelle’s team members have made some examples for you to see the many ways to use frames. Jennifer used two frames stacked and turned at angles to frame her photo in a non-traditional way. She also created the perfect background paper by arranging frames and papers together in a grid pattern.  Jenniferweb_ouch I hope this bruise is better by now. Ouch!!

Kairyn used a frame for a photo, but she also framed some embellishments and then had them hanging from a clothes line – very creative.

Finally, Kim used a frame to enclose her story, and it’s an entertaining one, so take time to read it. Very cute indeed!  Kimi-did-it-with-a-sharkweb

Why don’t you take a minute to add a frame or two to a page you’re working on, and try to stretch yourself – use the frames in a way you haven’t done before.

1.25 Scrap Skills: Using Ribbons

Hello! I’m happy to be here today chatting with you about some fun and exciting ways that you can use ribbons on your pages. I know that it’s easy to get stuck in a rut and always use things in predictable ways. So I’m here to share some pages and some ideas for ways to get out of that rut and make your pages stand out! Let’s take a look at some pages from Chelle’s awesome CT:

Jennifer used ribbons on this layout using Gone Fishin as a striking focal point. She placed rows of them at a slant framing her photo.

Kayla used ribbons in this layout using Tutu Cute as a way to hang her photo cluster. It’s definitely too cute!

And Roxana used ribbons in this one with Kick It and Play the Game to fill up an empty corner. Sometimes you just don’t want all that extra space in a layout, so you can fill it up with some slanted ribbons.

So here are some ideas for using ribbons on pages:

use them as framing

hang things off them

fill up those corners

use them in clusters

split up your pages with them

having them peeking out from the edges

line your journaling with them

And there are so many more ways you can use them! See what you can come up with! We love to see those layouts in the gallery!
