Letters from Home

It’s Tuesday, Chelle’s friends, so let’s look at a classic Chelle’s Creations kit, Letters from Home. It has a vintage feel and a bit of a patriotic look, as well, so it’s perfect for your digital scrapbooking projects of various events from the past or present. Chelle’s Creative Team members have a few pages to show you.

First, Krista has a photo of a young person she supports through World Vision, and she made a page using Chelle’s kit about her personal story and involvement with Madalitso in Malawi. I love all the angles she used for placement of the photo and all her elements. And, I love the way the little felt stamps are tucked under the framed photo.

Next, Jenn made a page about her daughter leaving home to go to college. A lot of us, including Chelle, are going through that same experience right now, and what better way to celebrate a young person’s accomplishments and at the same time assuage the pangs of this bittersweet time than by making a scrapbook page as a tribute. Like Krista, Jenn used lots of layered frames and elements behind her photo, and yet the photo is still center stage and the highlight of the page. I love all the buttons Jenn used; it’s so much easier to do this digitally than with real buttons, right? And, yet, Chelle’s elements look like actual, tangible buttons on the page.

Finally, Tammy has made a page about her cute little guy dressed the part of postman for his speech class. She tells the story of how he was too shy to volunteer to play the part, but on the last day of class, he overcame his hesitancy and did very well. I’m so glad she has the photos for the page! Look how she used the twine in the kit – it looks great wrapped around the banner behind her pictures.
