Did you catch that hashtag? The use of the hashtag with a key word is everywhere these days, and the word hashtag was even added to the Oxford dictionary this year. What started as a way to categorize comments in social media has now become commonplace, and digital scrapbooking fans are using them for emphasis on page titles. If you saw Sari’s post here a few days ago, you might have seen that Chelle even had her daughter hold a sign with “#senior” on it for a back to school photo. I love the way scrappers are using them on their pages, and Chelle’s Creative Team Members have shared some layouts for inspiration.

First, let’s take a look back at Chelle’s page. The hashtags and the photos tell the story so well not much journaling is required in addition. 14_08_21_back2school_2post

Helen used Summer’s End papers and alpha to make a page about a trip to the shoreline. Her hashtag adds emphasis to a title that aptly describes the adorable photos. catching-waves

Lisa has used Trick or Treat, Chelle’s latest Halloween-themed kit, to make a page about dealing with all that candy and braces. The kit includes some word art pieces, and Lisa customized them by adding the hashtag to the word “Boo” and by creating some word strips of her own. 11-5TrickorTreat600x600
