I found a cute digital scrapbooking layout to share with you today. If’s even off-theme of what the kit was called. Txmorgs used Cat’s Meow to make this layout. There’s not a single pumpkin in that kit!
She used Cat’s Meow & Lay It On There Singles 7&8.
Very fun and expressive!

Hey friends! I wanted to share a digital scrapbooking tutorial with you this week. Chelle gave out this tutorial back in January 22, 2015 in her newsletter. Let me show you how you won’t need scissors to make your favorite paper become fabric. Here are the links to CU Fabric Textures & CU Frayed Masks.

Just clip a paper made with CU Fabric Styles on a CU Frayed Mask and viola! Wonderful!
So how do you make your favorite paper look like fabric? I usually use one of the methods in the recoloring class, but here’s a quick & dirty solution that will work well enough: Add the CU Fabric Texture above your paper. Change the blending mode to Overlay. For most papers this will be close enough to real. Now flatten the layers and clip it to a CU Frayed Mask!
Here are a couple of layouts from our CT members, Roxana & Krista.
Take a chance. I bet you’ll learn some new skills.
Enjoy!
Hello Friends!
Chelle released a wonderful new digital scrapbooking great outdoorsy kit this week. Take a peek. If you buy the kit, you get the word art FREE! Of course we also have a bonus alpha. Camping, hiking, fishing, or glamping, this kit has everything you need to savor those camping memories.
If you are receiving Chelle’s Newsletter, or if you check out Chelle’s Creation’s Blog, and Facebook Fan Page, you’ll see some other goodies available that were FREE! {No links here, sorry}
Here are some layouts from our {very} creative team.
We’re in the midst of the Summer Rewind Sale at Scrap Orchard. If you missed some of Chelle’ releases, go check out the Summer Rewind Specialty Store at Scrap Orchard. Spend $15 and you get the Big Screen {Kit} & Big Screen {Add On}. I love Chelle’s Alphas. If you pick up the Big Screen Kit & Big Screen Add-On, it includes 2 new alphas, papers, stitches & washi tape. Keep an eye out. Make sure you get yours today. {No links here, you get them FREE when you spend $15.}
For our CU Friends, we have CU Rose Gold {Trims.} I’m predicting we’ll see more of this trend in the upcoming fall and holiday season: rose gold. A marriage of gold and Panatone’s color of the year: Marsala, it’s more pink than a traditional copper. Don’t believe me? Just google “rose gold nail polish” My florist daughter says if they spray the vase rose gold, the arrangement runs right out the door. They are getting more requests to add rose gold to bridal arrangements. I’m sure it’s also popping up in home decor. With fall on the way, here’s a handful of foiled ribbons & trims in rose gold.
Have a great weekend!
Hello!
Chelle wrote this tip in March of 2015. I thought it was a timely reminder as we busy Mom’s try to keep it all together. as Summer ends and we try to get everything coordinated for Back 2 School. Take a deep breath, you can keep up.
(Disclaimer! I recognize that not all of my scrapping friends fit in this category, but I think it is important for the ones that do.) (Yes, those are bits of fluorescent pink play dough mixed into the Legos. SIGH!)
“My house stays clean for 5 minutes if I’m lucky. This morning I picked up a McDonald’s Happy Meal toy and my son said “He was eating a cookie.” I guess that explains why the one arm is covered in chocolate. Crumbs. Sticky. Broken. Dirty. EVERYWHERE. Recently I stumbled on a website where photographers are embracing this phase of their lives: Kids Were Here. I really support the idea of taking a step back and relishing this season through photographing evidence that the kids were here. My youngest daughter turned 18 yesterday. My youngest son will start school this fall. I know all too well that this season is fleeting even if the mountains of laundry try to persuade me otherwise. I’m taking the challenge of documenting the Kids Were Here. I would encourage you to do the same.”
Chelle has a super bundle called Master Builder that works well with building blocks. Take a look!

Enjoy!
Hi! Oh my goodness! Have you seen how adorable Chelle’s July 2015 {digital scrapbooking} releases of Puppy Love & Cat’s Meow? Talk about easy kits to combine. The color’s aren’t exactly the same, but they still work well together.
First I’ll show you Lisa’s layout. I”m not usually a “brown” person but I really like Lisa use of it in this layout.
Then here’s a layout from Karen. Isn’t is great that we can all scrap all the members of our family? (Especially the animal ones)
This layout is by Krista. She has a double page layout. Her photos are fantastic!
Here are the kits & Alphas.
Love these alphas? They are a part of Chelle’s CU products. Here you go. CU Cool Cat Alpha Doodles. She has a tutorial on her website explaining how to use her alpha doodles. Just a thought, maybe you are looking to expand your mad digital scrapbooking skills.
Enjoy!
Hello Friends!
Just saw a fun digital scrapbooking layout in the pin gallery at Scrap Orchard. This fantastic layout was created by GmaMary23. She included some fantastic metal pieces in her layout. I really like the way she did her clustering on the bottom page as well. Thinking of a scraplift? She used Out of this World {Bundle}. Congrats Mary on a beautiful layout!
I started looking at other layouts and before I knew it, I had found another amazing layout to share. This one is by Cmtscrap.
Charlene used Chelle’s Bug Town Collection & CU Dotty Patterns.
I linked all the products up for you in Chelle’s store. Enjoy!
Hello Friends!
Sqee! Here’s a great digital scrapbooking freebie to use here as summer wind’s down here in the USA. Roxana made this adorable freebie for you to enjoy using the Roller Coasters & Cotton Candy Collection.
Here’s the Roller Coasters & Cotton Candy {Bundle}.
Hello Friends!
Got a couple of quick things to share with you today. First Chelle released a new fantastic Alpha Doodle this week to add to her collection, CU Shazam Alpha Doodles. I love all those fun angles and curves. Retro is hot and this alpha is the perfect fit for the retro style. Add a hand drawn feel to your layouts. These alpha doodles in a variety of styles will make it super easy for you to create the perfect alpha for your layout.
Our Creative Team usually does layouts for our personal use products, not so much for the commercial use things, but I put the word out asking if anyone had used Shazam in a layout. Krista quickly did this layout for us.
What to use the Alpha Doodles? Here’s a link to a tutorial.
Earlier this week (in our newsletter), Chelle gave us a hint of what’s to come next week.
Start thinking about ways you can use Chelle’s new collection now.
If you didn’t play twister with us, you may not have seen this alpha that coordinates with this collection.
Make sure you stop by Chelle’s store next week for this new collection.
Talk to you soon!
You must be logged into the ScrapOrchard forum for the link to work. $14.99 per month OR $74.99 for six months = Six for the price of Five.
Hi! I'm Chelle: a 40 something mom of 7. My husband & I live in a rural community in the rocky mountains with our 4 children still at home. In the winters we enjoy sledding & snuggling by the fire. I the cool fall evenings we love relaxing around the campfire & meeting friends at the county fair. Admiring the stars 
on a clear summer night and splashing in spring mud puddles. We love making memories together. Me? I love blueberries, fresh salmon, creating, memory keeping, & above all my family & my faith.
