Classics: At the Park

Chelle’s Creations has a perfect digital scrapbooking kit for your playground memories. It’s full of her unique felt creations of slides, jungle gyms, and swings but also has lots of banners, bright patterned papers, ribbons, and buttons for use on a wide variety of pages. Today, I want to show you a couple of pages from the Creative Team made from At the Park. The pages are so completely different, if I didn’t know better, I would think they used two completely different kits.

First, Kimberly used At the Park and a Fiddle-Dee-Dee Designs template to record her memories of her teenage daughter taking a break with friends at a park. She also used Chelle’s Me and My Shadow styles for her layout as well as copying and pasting the styles from Cheryl’s Fuss Free template. They coordinate nicely. Most of her shadows are 45 degrees; however, for the main photo, she selected the -43 paper/photo style in Me and My Shadow to help give the photo a little more dimension on her page. Me and My Shadow is a great tool when you scrap in newer versions of Photoshop Elements since the program tries to apply a global shadow direction. The styles let you better customize your shadows on your layout and comes with 45, -43, and 120 degree shadow directions in 11 different settings from staples to large, bulky flowers.

Now contrast Kimberly’s page with Helen’s shown below. She also used At the Park but chose the papers and elements in the bright reds and yellows with just a hint from the blues in the kit. Her page is simply a recording of a happy memory and really isn’t about a visit to a park at all. But, the bright happy colors convey well the happiness of her little one’s giggle and help to present the cheerful attitude throughout the entire page. 

I hope you are inspired to scrap a happy memory today, and maybe even use At the Park. Don’t have it? You can find this kit in the market by clicking on the preview image below.
