Recoloring My World

Hi digital scrapbooking friends! I know you’ll agree with me that one of the greatest reasons to scrapbook digitally is because kit items that don’t quite match my pages can be recolored and match photos perfectly. Recoloring items in a kit can change the entire feeling of a page and stretch your stash infinitely. Chelle’s friends have a couple of examples to show you how they like to recolor. If you need some help with the specifics of recoloring, check out Chelle’s Creations YouTube video on recoloring her CU Mini FLowers here.

First, Jenn had some photos from a family vacation, and Chelle’s kit Out of This World was the obvious choice to match the theme. But she wanted word strips that would mimic the signs captured in her photos. The word strips in the kits were bright colors, but it was easy for her to recolor them to the gray she wanted. It was the perfect touch to make her pages unique and personal for her event. I’ll show you the double page first and then the single sides so you can see the word strips more easily.

Next, Helen needed some green paper and elements on her page to match her photo, so she recolored a patterned paper and a word bubble to give the desired look. She changed a red paper to green and a blue word bubble to green, all from the mini-kit I need a Hero. She points out that this is a great way to make a mini-kit feel much larger. Check it out:
