03.26 Video Tutorial: Scrap On Your Phone

Spring has official arrived and we are almost done with another month in 2015. I can’t believe how quickly time goes by. If you are anything like me you try to capture as many memories as you can. With the boost in technology a lot of phones these days take really decent photos. Have you ever thought about using your phone to scrap those photos? Chelle of Chelle’s Creations is going to show you how to create a layout with in your phone in about 10 minutes. Have fun learning something new!

There are so many different programs that can help you scrap a layout besides the ones Chelle mentioned in her video. Here are a few the ladies used and the layouts they made.

Krista (kc71595) used Phonto and Photo Grid using a android device and created this adorable layout. I wish after a few videos I was able to create something so cute. She used the Down on the Farm kit, Down on the Farm {instaLife}, and Down on the Farm – Sounds {instaLife}.

Using the Zoo Crew Arctic {Journal Cards}, Karen (zippyoh) created this layout of a memorable vacation. She used PicStitch and Over on her phone.

I love to see personality in a layout. You can just feel the love between this mother and daughter in Jan’s (QuiltyMom) layout. For her layout she used Toe Picks & Figures 8s and PicStitch and InstaQuote. After playing around with it Jan found out that she didn’t care for the InstaQuote because it didn’t allow her to use the full image and if you look closely there is their logo on her page.

With so many different apps out there these days for you phones there is bound to be one that will fit your needs. When you have some free time pick up your phone and see what looks interesting to you and play around. You might just find a new way to quickly get some layouts done.

See you again in April.

As always, Chelle’s creative team has used a technique or two they picked up from the video and applied it to their own page.

Jan (QuiltyMom) used the brushes to help make her title not get lost in the photo. She also created some texture with the brushes on her blue paper with her journaling. The Anchor’s Away kit by Chelle is perfect for this layout and Jan paired it with a template by Scrapping with Liz.

To add a pop of color to the white background Lisa (kelseyll) clipped a paper and a paint splat the brushes. It really helps your pictures stand out. Lisa used Bug Town by Chelle for her cute layout.

Melissa used Down on the Farm by Chelle to create this adorable layout. She wanted her page to have more of a grungy look. She clipped a paper to the brush to achieve the look she was wanted.

01.15 Video Tutorial: Text on a Busy Background

Welcome to the new year and another video tutorial by Chelle of Chelle’s Creations. Today she is going to give you a few pointers to ensure that you journaling doesn’t get lost on busy background papers or photos.

A couple of Chelle’s talented creative team members provided layouts using the techniques they learned while watching the video.

Lisa (kelseyll) used the outer glow method by casting a blue hue around all the text. Since the date was on a really busy part of her layout she also added a slight shadow to help it to be seen. For this cute layout Lisa used the parts of Loom Love (Sampler, Solids, and Alpha).

The outer glow method doesn’t work just on text, but it also works on word art as Jan (QuiltyMom) demonstrates with her layout. To make the black letters stand out and not fade into the black of the Liberty bell the outer glow creates the perfect contrast. She also used the outer glow method on her journaling to ensure the words didn’t blend in with the photo. For this fabulous layout Jan combined Liberty and Liberty (word art) with a template by Cluster Queen Creations.
