Hello Everyone! Tuesday means Unlikely Pairs and this week we focused on Indian Summer & Taste of Home.
Hello Friends! Are you watching your calendar and counting down to Digital Scrapbooking Day? I am. Can’t wait to see what all the goodies are in the grab bags? It’s Monday and that mean’s sharing some great Gallery Stand Outs. As I was looking through the gallery at Scraporchard, I found some new LO’s that I liked. I’ll share them with you and tell you why I liked them.
This LO is by Jenn18 and uses Chelle’s “Under Construction” kit. I really like the use of the patterned papers and the dirt.The frame made of measuring tape holding the tools. Great!
Jenn V shares this LO of her son’s love of driving anything. The tire tread and the traffic signs are used together in such a great way! She used Chelle’s Vrooom! Bundle.
Clemmon03 created this “Tiger” LO of her daughter’s experience with the Tiger at the Tucson Zoo. I noticed her daughter first, then the clusters and last I liker her use of the chain link fence. She used Zoopendous Bundle.
Tbbuffy made this wonderful LO. Love the use of the cowhide paper and the buckle. The gentleman really draws you into the picture. I want to see more of work on the horse’s hoof. The LO uses Yeehaw.
Hope these fantastic LO’s gave you some ideas for your digital scrapbooking. Hugs!
Hello Friends! Numbers, they’re around us. Everything has numbers, elevators, street signs, price tags. Why not use them in your digital scrapbooking? I was thinking about a family history book I typed back between 2002-2004. Here are some ideas I thought of. # of great grandparents (2) # of children (12) # of grandchildren (51) # of pictures scanned (479) # of weeks to type the history (104).
I have 4 GREAT LO’s to show you. I even talked Chelle into letting me show you one of hers.
Now for the larger images:
Chelle’s up first. 
Mel N (KSCroppyChic) provides us with a baseball layout. She used Batter Up.
Jan (quiltymom) used “Apple Of My Eye” Love this idea.
Karen (karen32) She used “Rainbow Collections: Greens.” It’s only available as part of the collection. 
Get creative. Use #’s to add and subtract the elements on your LO. Hugs!
Hello Scrappers! Monday is the day I get to show you some Amazing Digital Scrapbooking Layouts using Chelle’s Creations. Just look at these 5 LO’s I want to focus on today.
The first digital scrapbooking LO I want to share with you is called “Next Step College” by djp332. The opacity of the photo and the “dreaminess” it created made me think of wishing to attend college and the reality of it beginning. She used: Toadally, On The Trail, Half Moon Bay Alpha (retired), and Ladybug Hugs.
Next up is “I’m Livybug the Ladybug.” This LO caught my eye because of the compisition of the photo. I wanted to know where “Livybug” was going. There she is in her car talking about her family “nicknames.” I read that, but the photo still pulled me in. I stopped an looked to see if I could tell where the pciture was taken…a curvy road….? Livy used “Ladybug Hugs” of course.
“Soldier Boy” by catschwartz uses Rolling Along. I just liked the overall LO. The young boy looks as if he loves the idea of soldiering. The cluster that is on the side of the boy’s face is absolutely perfect. The use of the string just gives it great dimension. She used “Rolling Along” part of Chelle’s Military Bundle. 
Next up is “Lazy Days” by scrapper@heart. I so LOVE the clusters and tags “BeautiFALL” & “Vibrant” which she clearly shows in her LO. What a joyful picture of the two children. Late Fall to early Winter is a great time to enjoy the outdoors. Love the grains & flowers. She used Indian Summer & Indian Summer Plaids.
The last LO I chose is “Kiddie Park” by catschwartz. How very fun this LO is. The joy of childhood, the excitement of a roller coaster. I love the use of splats & the roller coaster across the bottom of it. This LO makes me want to find some little kids and go find a roller coaster. “Course that won’t be happening in Utah, we are supposed to get snow tomorrow. She used “Ticket To Ride.”
I hope you have enjoyed the LO’s I chose and that it gave you many ideas of what you can create. See you soon! Hugs!

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.
