Techno Love | Digital Scrapbooking Classics

Whew! I’ve been proofreading a student’s computer science fair project, and as usual, I am also starting to think about Valentine’s Day a little late. With these two things both rambling around in my head, I decided to shop for a digital scrapbooking kit. Can you guess which kit I found? Chelle’s Techno Love kit jumped right out at me. It is the perfect mix of geek and chic, and it was love at first byte with me with all its bold shades of pink and red and those cute little computer elements. Lest you think you need geeky pictures to go with this kit, a couple of Chelle’s team members have made some example layouts to inspire you and show you the kit’s versatility.

My friend Leslie made the first page I want to show you. Her husband is the qwerty to her keyboard, and she is missing him terribly while he is away with his job. Skype has been their friend, and with a good webcam, she was able to capture her photo and use Chelle’s kit to make a perfect page with respect to the theme of the kit. I love that she put her husband’s picture in the computer monitor felt from the kit and then framed the two photos similarly to give equal weight to each. May your cache of love always be full, Mrs. Leslie!

We have a few guests on Chelle’s team this month, and one of them is Brandy. She has generously provided two layouts for this blog post. The first one uses the full theme of the kit, and I love how she clustered the USB heart cable with the ribbons and the title on her page. She began taking pictures of her sweet baby using the iPad when she was very tiny, and she has collected quite a few lovely photos. Now that Delilah is 19 months old, she has had enough experience with the iPad that she can work a piece puzzle and color sort. Amazing! I’m sure she is just a chip off the old silicon block.

OK, enough of the computer metaphors. Brandy had these older photos of Delilah that she had never scrapped because she just hadn’t found the right kit. Techno Love was PERFECT for them. Look how well the pink and red colors of her outfit match the kit colors. And the heart stitches are the most appropriate complement to the clusters of heart and string elements. I love that she used the blank tags to date and label the layout, too.

I hope you are inspired to check out this kit. I’ll show you a close-up view of it here. The image is linked to the market. Also, check out the Techno Love Valentines in the market, too. If you’re like me and are shopping a bit late this year, maybe you need these like I do. Just print from home and you’ll save yourself a trip to the store and have some original Valentines to give out this week. It’s a win-win!
