Classics

Here in the USA, Memorial Day is just around the corner. This year, I’ll celebrate Memorial Day with my little brother who will be promoted to Colonel in the Army at that time. Of course, I’ll take LOTS of photos, but Chelle has the perfect Military Bundle for me to use to showcase this important event. It’s a bundle of kits with elements specific to the Army, Navy, and Air Force.

Donna has used the kit to save a very special keepsake in digital format. Donna says, “This is a copy of my husband’s grandfather’s Army discharge papers. If you look really close, you will see that they were signed by Lt. Col. Dwight D. Eisenhower, before he became President.” Very cool! Check out the word art she used for the title – it’s included in the bundle.

Kimberly used the bundle to scrap her photos of her family at the Veteran’s Day ceremony. I love the story she tells of her children meeting a Vietnam veteran, and I love how she framed the photos she took. I also love the anchor and rope layered with them, adding a great 3D effect. 

Here’s a look at the Military Bundle in the market. Be sure to follow the link to the store and read the full description.

It seems everyone loves to capture photos of their loved ones sleeping. Chelle has a classic kit of elements and papers to accent your sleepy-time pictures. It’s called Good Night Teddy, and her CT members have been playing with it again. Let’s take a look!

Jenn caught her sweet hubby napping and decided to scrapbook the images. He wasn’t thrilled with her, but she maintains that these are the peaceful moments you want to remember. I tend to agree. She used Good Night Teddy and a couple of the coordinating Journal Cards for her page.

Jennifer also used the Journal Cards along with the kit for her first page. I love the photo she used; her son was pretending to sleep and wanted his picture taken. Isn’t that a riot?

Jennifer also used the kit for another page, but this child was truly sleeping. I love the teddy bear and clock she used as accents. 

Here’s a closer look at the kit and the Journal cards in the market. The images are linked to Chelle’s store at Scrap Orchard.

We’re taking a look back at a classic kit today: Fleur de Violette. It’s full of spring flowery goodness that will remind you of fond memories you’ve had and is great for enhancing your digital scrapbooking pages of a wide variety of topics. Take a look at what the Creative Team has to show you.

First, Mel had a fantastic photo of her and her two daughters doing a selfie. She applied a tint to the photo to give it an extra effect, and it looks perfect with our featured kit. I love her clusters of flowers on the top right and bottom left. 

Kayla has a couple of pages to show us, both using templates from Fiddle-Dee-Designs. The first one is a photo of her daughter Aspen taken at Easter, and the second is a close-up of her daughter Megan. Notice how she used the lined paper on each layout? I love that she lined up her journaling on the lines.

Here’s a closer look at the kit in the market, but let me point out that there’s also a bundle that includes some quickies and other great extras, and there are InstaLife cards and Journal Cards sold separately, great for printing and using in your daily albums or for using in your Project Life phone app.

Top of the Mornin’ to ya, Chelle’s Creations fans! Chelle’s CT members have been playing with her Lucky Me bundle this week, and I have a couple of their digital scrapbooking pages to show you. This bundle is a collection of a greens, golds, and oranges that are perfect for documenting your St. Patrick’s Day celebrations or anything that makes you feel lucky. I’ve been on a roll finding four leaf clovers lately, and Chelle’s kit even has a perfect digital match to my clover leaves.

First, Karen has some pictures of one lucky dog who is a special part of her family. She captured him on a warm, spring day resting while they were out for exercise. I love the stacked papers she used in the background.

Next, Jenn took a group photo of her crew at a St. Patty’s Day parade, and what better way to record the memory of that fun day than have that photo be huge on the page. She used the word art as well as the kit for her page. If you’ll look closely, she has used the clovers I mentioned on the top corner of the “N” in her title. Aren’t they perfect?

The bundle in the market is a really good deal. I know you’ll feel lucky to have found it here – like finding your pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Check it out!

Today we’re looking at a couple of items in Chelle’s Creations’ store that are perfect for recording your memories of sunny days and childhood loves on your digital scrapbooking pages. Street Smarts {reloaded} is the main kit and Chelle’s CT members have combined it with Make a Monster for the perfect embellishments.

First, Kimberly has a photo-less page in which she tells the story of her favorite memory watching a childhood TV show with her brother. She has created a perfect little monster to add to the corner of her page for emphasis.

Next, Jan combined these two items to make a page about some scenes from a recent trip to Disney’s California Adventure. She created a couple of furry faces to use as embellishments around her page.

Here’s a closer look at the items in the market. The images are linked.

Mmmmmmm, don’t you just love the smell of fresh baked goods? Chelle’s Creations has a great classic kit perfect for capturing those sweet baking memories on our digital scrapbooking pages. Lovin’ from the Oven is perfect for savoring those cherished memories of baking cookies in the kitchen with grandma or for recording her favorite recipe. Recently, Chelle even added journal cards and InstaLife cards to the collection making it easy to use her kits in pocket style pages or even from your smart phone. Let’s look at a couple of layouts with these products in use.

First, Karen made a page to record her grandma’s cookie recipe. She used the bundle which includes the word art for her page. I love the way she added the clusters around the recipe card.

Jenny made a page about her children baking Christmas cookies with their grandparents. She used Chelle’s 3D InstaLife cards along with the Lovin’ from the Oven kit. 

Here’s a closer look at the bundle and the cards in the market. The images are linked.

The most wonderful time of the year is just around the corner, and Chelle’s Creative Team members have been playing with her classic kit O Holy Night. It’s a huge kit with 15 textured papers and 117 elements including adorable clay nativity characters and gorgeous silver and gold elements. There is also an alpha included and 26 word strips. Plus, there’s a coordinating set of word art to help speed up your digital scrapbooking projects. Let’s look at a few examples.

Kayla made a digital scrapbooking page with the kit. Her photos aren’t really Christmas themed, and yet she has used the kit masterfully to tell the story of her sweet little girl all dolled up for a performance. I love that she used the word art for the word “Star” to complete her title. 

Donna made a couple of hybrid projects for us using templates from Wendy Bird Designs. She created the cards digitally with Chelle’s kit and then printed them, cut them out, and folded them. They were easily done and she had two very special custom cards ready to mail to loved ones.

Once a year, I try to spend a month emphasizing the things in my life for which I am thankful. It really helps to keep me grounded and grateful. Chelle’s Creations has a classic digital scrapbooking kit called Give Thanks that is perfect for my 30 days of giving thanks project. It’s also great for recording memories of celebrating the harvest, enjoying a delicious feast, or just spending a fall day with loved ones. Let me show you a couple of layouts so you can see the kit in use.

First, Lisa shows a page she made with this kit. It showcases a cute picture of her children sitting at the kids’ table at the Thanksgiving Dinner a few years ago. I love the cluster she made using the turkey, leaves, and veggies.

Jenny shows us her page highlighting a special family photo. The various colored ribbons she has used as a photo background look fantastic on that blue paper. And I love the visual triangle she formed with her clusters of flowers around the photo.

There’s more warm goodness in the kit. Take a closer look! Be sure to notice the little people that are included.

Thankfully yours,
