Scrap Skills: Arrows

I love to see arrows on a digital scrapbooking page. They let me know what is important on the page or the direction my eye should follow. Chelle’s Creations team members have some pages to show you different ways to get the effect of arrows on a page.

First, Jenn used Norlandia and the Norlandia {alphas} by Ziggle Designs and Chelle’s Creations to make her page. The arrows are large chevrons that are part of the Little Green Frog Designs template, and they are placed behind the photos. They create a great flow for the page.  

Jenny also used a Little Green Frog Designs template and Chelle’s In the Backyard kit for her page. Again, the flow is obvious, and the page is fun to read.

Tammy used Chelle’s newest kit Out of this World for her page. She has chevrons on her page, like the others, but she also has a large curved arrow framing an adorable young Buzz, and there’s another carefully placed arrow pointing to the hero in the top photo launching to infinity and beyond, I’m sure.

Melissa has made a page with Love Grows, and it’s the perfect kit choice for her sweet little baby girl’s photo. She has used triangle paper pieces to form an arrow pointing to that sweet baby face.

Finally, Donna has used lots of arrows for her double page layout. On a recent trip along the Blue Ridge Parkway, she took photos of signs she encountered and photos of the views those signs described. On her page, she has used arrows to point from each sign to its respective view. It’s the perfect way to use arrows to help journal. By the way, she used Chelle’s Great Outdoors Bundle and the arrows are from Vrooom!

I hope you’ll consider adding some arrows to your next page. You can use chevrons or triangles instead of actual arrows, or you could even use drawn arrows like the ones in Chelle’s Creations Mark My Words.
