Lists | Digital Scrapbooking Words on Wednesday

Hello Everyone. Today is the first day of my vacation. Tomorrow is the last day. I’m in Rexburg, Idaho, at my brother’s house with his 6 kids. My sister Barb is here also. My brother and his wife are on a adult sleepover in Spokane. So I get to play with my “Little’s.” I also played with them last Saturday. Amazingly enough, my sweet little 3 year-old boy, Zion” managed to give me a fat lip. I was catching him as he came down the slide, and I misjudged. His little head smacked into my face and I bit down really hard on my lip & nearly bit through it. I look like I have a big raspberry shaped stain above my lip, although it’s now draining into my lip.  My list isn’t all that exact, but it is what I think of when I consider my fat lip experience. So, let’s talk lists:

  • owie/ouchie
  • pain
  • ice bag
  • talking out of the left side of my mouth
  • making it difficult to spend all day on the phone at work
  • pain medication

Let me show you the list ideas from the Creative Team. Mel N used an interview format to create lists of her children’s favorite things.

Mel N (KSCroppyChick)

Kayla used a list of what her kid’s needed for back 2 school. Leading is a good thing to use when you want to make your list line up on a lined paper. She altered the letter Q to become a check mark!

Kayla (keepscrappin’)

Jenn V used different shapes to create her “list.”

Last up we have Jan who used #’s in her list to identify the different animals they saw on a vacation.Jan (Quilty Mom)

Chelle provided the following ideas about lists for your consideration.

  • Sometimes
your
journaling
doesn’t
fit
in
a
tidy
paragraph.
  • Sometimes
your
journaling
isn’t
complete
sentences.
  • Sometimes
your
journaling is just a few words or phrases.
  • It’s
time
for
a
list.

Remember, when using a list for your journaling, the format of the items is important. In general you want the items in your list to be consistent. For example:

  • Spinning
  • Twirling
  • Swaying
  • Run←See?  It doesn’t belong.

I look forward to seeing the designs you create using lists.

Hugs!

Gallery Standouts | Digital Scrapbooking Inspiration

Hey ladies. I’ve just been looking through all the LO’s that have been submitted to the Chelle’s Creations Gallery at Scrap Orchard. If you are looking for inspiration, look no further. First Up is this precious little face that came in contact with her brother’s hockey puck!  HTEW’s “He Shoots, he scores?” used Chelle’s Penalty Box {& Penalty Box Quickies} to make very expressive LO.

Amber565 made a LO using Chelle’s Oh Snap! products {Oh Snap!, Oh Snap! Words Bits, & Oh Snap! Quickies} that I’m sure is the opinion of many little people who have had their pictures taken over and over and over again. Her “Mom’s Gonna Snap!” gives us a perhaps a truthful look at our inner photobug.
Jac gives us a hybrid idea. She used Chelle’s Midnight Crow Reloaded & Midnight Crow Word Art to make this mulling spice drink.
Vanilla Designz used Chelle’s Bloomin’ Kit to create this delightful LO. Bloomin is available to those who’ve registered for Chelle’s Newsletter. It’s a free birthday download.
Shari used 3 of Chelle’s products to create this “moving” LO.  Fly Little Birdie, Leafy Treetops {& Leafy Treetops Quickies} & Vrooom! Bundle {& Vrooom Word Art} Isn’t it fun?

I hope I gave you some inspiration! I really enjoy looking at the galleries. I enjoy seeing what everyone has created with Chelle’s Creations.

Hugs!

Apple Of My Eye Playdate | Digital Scrapbooking Inspiration

Hello Ladies!

Have you seen Chelle’s newest kit? Love it! Love it! Love it! I remember the apple trees in our garden and around the house. I just loved those little tart green apples with salt sprinkled on them. I could eat them one after another. I would have to make myself stop eating them so I didn’t have some ‘natural’ consequences. My grandmother Mon, had a couple of crab apple trees. I think I tried to eat them once, but then we figured out how much more fun it was to stomp on them. Poor Grandma & Grandpa. They got to see all of us kids, but I don’t imagine they enjoyed the squashed apples on the sidewalk. Seems like we got smarter and jumped on the road so we weren’t in trouble. LOL! Let me show Chelle’s barrells of {apple} fun. The Quickies are FWP of the bundle. Hint! Make sure you snap the blog freebie also. I’ve linked them all up for you, just click on the images.

Chelle also created a new Digital Scrapbook Tutorial on Isolated & Selective Color. You can watch it by clicking on the video image.

For our CU friends, we offer CU Crepe. You’ll have to check it out.

Let me show you the absolutely darling inspiration from our Creative Team.

Phrases & Titles | Digital Scrapbooking Resources

Hello Everyone! Today I thought I would share some ideas for titles and phrases you might use for your LOs. I have the privilege of going through the galleries and looking at the ideas all of you come up with. Debbie Hodge suggests using the following list.

  1. Use your subject’s name
  2. Use Word Art
  3. Let handwritten “subject, date, place” suffice
  4. Let a pre-printed label or tag work as both title & embellishment
  5. Incorporate your title into your journaling block
  6. Put your title on a photo
  7. Span the width
  8. Use a pre-made label
  9. Use a font instead of alphas
  10. Jiggle, wrap, split and fix

Here’s a few ideas from Chelle’s CT Team. (The last 6 work well with Chelle’s product release on friday, September 21st.)

  • Popping in to say you’re great
  • You’re Beary nice/fun
  • You’re sweet (cupcakes)
  • Speeding by to say you’re great
  • I’m nuts about you (nuts from food for fans)
  • Owl love you (what a hoot)
  • Don’t be angry, be my friend (fly little birdie)
  • You’re a DINO-mite friend/kid/son(prehistoric)
  • An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away
  • Apple of my eye
  • Apple Harvest
  • Apple ____ Recipe card
  • You’re a hoot
  • What a hoot

Here are some other places you can check out. Peppermint Creative Scrapbook Art, Scrapbook.Com/Titles, The Perfect Title, Easy To Scrapbook & I Dream of Scrapbooking all have lists you can review. I Dream Of Scrapbooking had a title I thought was very funny, “The best antiques to collect are old friends.”

Here are some of my favorite Title & Phrasing LO’s by Chelle’s Creative Team using different ideas for titles. This LO is by KSCroppyChic. She used titles & lists to add in her LO.

Karen S. shows how phrasing can add to you LO.

I thought I’d show you a few of Chelle’s Word Art Designs just to give you some more ideas. My favorite is her “Golf” word art that has the golf ball as an “O” and the club used for an “L” in the word “GOLF.”

Hope you all found some inspiration! Talk to you soon!

Hugs!

Indian Summer Playdate | Digital Scrapbooking Inspiration

Hello Friends! Indian Summer is a favorite time of year for me. I love FALL! College Football, Tailgating, the World Series, temperatures dropping, and watching the leaves change from green to the brilliant hues of Yellow, Orange & Red. For many years, I lived in a community where the maple trees had both a green and a deep plum magenta leaf. When I first saw Chelle’s kit, I was immediately drawn to the magenta flower with the yellow in the center. It made me think of many “Decoration Day” flowers we take to family headstones to honor and remember our family. We put a lot or orange or plum/magenta on our male ancestors. Oh My Gosh! Do you need a new fall siggy? Chelle has you covered there as well. Let me show you you the goodies of the week.

Chelle has also been busy working on some fun and exciting CU items. I haven’t shown you some of them because we’ve been canning. Last Saturday Chelle canned salsa (40 quarts) and I was did (65 points) of beans. I know she’s been canning beans, corn and peaches also. Here are the CU products she’s released since I last did a playdate.

The first video explains why she created the Indian Summer Kit. Then Chelle has 2 new videos to help you with your scrapbooking. Here’s a link to each of them and to her YouTube Channel. Just click on the image.



Are you going to the Original Scrapbook Expo on September 27th & 28th in Sandy Utah? Chelle is teaching 3 classes if you’re are in the area. Sandy is about 20 miles or so south of Salt Lake City Utah. Here’s some more information about the classes:

  • FREE Introduction to Digital Scrapbooking.  That class is filling up fast.  If you would like to attend, hurry and register quickly.

Perspective | Digital Scrapbooking Words on Wednesday

Hey everybody! Hope your Wednesday is going G-R-E-A-T! This week’s topic is perspective. I was talking with Chelle last night and we were brainstorming perspective. She gave these ideas: What if your “things” could talk to you? Your purse: “Would you quit stuffing things in me? I am getting SO overweight? Besides, if you put less in here, then you could FIND your keys.”Your paypal account: “Holy Moses! You are working me to the BONE this week. Look at all these fantastic things you’ve found.”Your alarm clock: “Hey. Quit hitting me. It’s not my fault you went to bed at _____. Come on. Get up. You’ve got a busy day ahead of you. If you don’t hurry the kids will miss the school bus.”So, if you nightstand could talk, what would it say? How about your cell phone? Remote Control? Garage Door?

So I set out thinking about other ideas during my workday. What about plants, what do they think? “Blah Blah Blah, she says the same thing everyday…. over and over again. Does she think I’m deaf or have Alzheimer’s? Here comes that woman with the mister (hose). Does she think we aren’t thirsty, I don’t care about optimum watering times, I want a drink now! Shiny leaf spray? Whoppie! Those bugs/insects are going slide right off of me!”

Or weeds at the side of the road? “Here comes that dog again. Wish I had a sneeze screen that could spray him instead of him spraying me. Ooh!  Here comes a kid with shoelaces, I’m gonna attach myself to them and go for a little ride around the yard. I’ll get out of this (barrow) pit yet. Here comes that Swather (tractor), it’ll probably run right over me AND cut my head off!”

A trampoline? “I have the best view of the starry sky each night. I’m the most romantic toy on the playground. Why do they keep on jumping and jumping and jumping? I can only stretch for so long. My stretch marks have stretch marks! Pul-ease, pul-ease don’t point your toenails!”

What could you see with a little change of perspective? Here’s what the CT came up with. Heather’s (aka snowdrop) up first with Chelle’s Oh Snap Kit. It’s amazing how often the team uses the Oh Snap! ellies. Great idea Heather!

Next we have Jenn Schultz. Love the teacup’s perspective. Funny! She used Chelle’s new Tea for Two Bundle.

I bet you have dozen’s of ideas simmering in your teapot.  Try changing up your LO’s with a change in perspective.

Hugs!
