Hi Chelle’s Creations friends! It’s almost October, and that means it’s time for costume parties, carving pumpkins, and cauldrons brewing up fun! If you’re in the market for a great digital scrapbooking kit with a Halloween feel, check out Toil & Trouble. It’s full of all the spooky papers and elements you need to tell your fall & Halloween stories. Chelle’s talented team members have a couple of ideas to inspire you.

First, check out Kimberly’s digital scrapbooking page. She used a template by Fiddle-Dee-Dee Designs and Chelle’s Toil & Trouble to make this adorable page about her children dressed up and trick or treating. I love the cluster of word art with the cute witch and her broom on the lower right. It’s just too cute to be scary. 

Krista used the kit to make a card with a tag that actually slides on the card. The template is by WendyBird Designs. I love the way she hid the black cat behind the tag so that he is revealed when the tag is pulled upward. And, then she made a beautiful page to showcase her wonderful card creation. 

Here’s a closer look at the kit in the market. The image is linked. 

We’re visiting a classic kit today at Chelle’s Creations. It’s called In the Forest, and it’s perfect for your digital scrapbooking projects about all things outdoorsy like a walk in the woods, a hike on a favorite nature trail, or even a day at the Zoo. But with the greens, oranges, and browns, it’s perfect for other types of layouts, as well. Take a look at a couple of examples from Chelle’s Creative Team.

First, Roxana shows us how to use this classic kit with her photos from Azpitia, a gorgeous area with breathtaking views near Lima, Peru. The greens and browns in the kit highlight the colors of nature in her photos. I love the way she clustered the tree trunk slice with the flowers, greenery, and that cute fox peeking out.

Heather used the kit for a pocket scrapping page of her children enjoying a hula hoop with their grandparents. What fun! The whimsical animals in the kit definitely set a playful tone for the fun photos here. 

Both these creative ladies used In the Forest and the coordinating alpha. Here’s a closer look at each.

Take some photos outdoors today and see if this kit isn’t the perfect match for them.

Chelle’s Creations has a perfect digital scrapbooking kit for your playground memories. It’s full of her unique felt creations of slides, jungle gyms, and swings but also has lots of banners, bright patterned papers, ribbons, and buttons for use on a wide variety of pages. Today, I want to show you a couple of pages from the Creative Team made from At the Park. The pages are so completely different, if I didn’t know better, I would think they used two completely different kits.

First, Kimberly used At the Park and a Fiddle-Dee-Dee Designs template to record her memories of her teenage daughter taking a break with friends at a park. She also used Chelle’s Me and My Shadow styles for her layout as well as copying and pasting the styles from Cheryl’s Fuss Free template. They coordinate nicely. Most of her shadows are 45 degrees; however, for the main photo, she selected the -43 paper/photo style in Me and My Shadow to help give the photo a little more dimension on her page. Me and My Shadow is a great tool when you scrap in newer versions of Photoshop Elements since the program tries to apply a global shadow direction. The styles let you better customize your shadows on your layout and comes with 45, -43, and 120 degree shadow directions in 11 different settings from staples to large, bulky flowers.

Now contrast Kimberly’s page with Helen’s shown below. She also used At the Park but chose the papers and elements in the bright reds and yellows with just a hint from the blues in the kit. Her page is simply a recording of a happy memory and really isn’t about a visit to a park at all. But, the bright happy colors convey well the happiness of her little one’s giggle and help to present the cheerful attitude throughout the entire page. 

I hope you are inspired to scrap a happy memory today, and maybe even use At the Park. Don’t have it? You can find this kit in the market by clicking on the preview image below.

I can think of a very few ways I prefer to beat the heat of summer than with an icy cold treat. Chelle’s Creations has a terrific classic digital scrapbooking kit called Beat the Heat that has everything I need to preserve those memories of hot summer days with a cold sweet treat. Take a look at a couple of delicious pages as examples from her creative team.

First, Krista captured her two darlings enjoying ice cream. She has masterfully combined the polka dot paper with the plaid for the background, and her clusters of ice cream cones and flowers are perfect accents for her matted photos. 

Next, Jen took advantage of some quality time with her oldest and her husband to share a frozen treat at a favorite ice cream shop. I love the photo treatments she has used with the colors in Chelle’s kit, and I’m crazy about those stacked papers in the background.

I’m toadally into spring weather right now, and Chelle’s Creations has the perfect digital scrapbooking kit for my pictures! It’s called Toadally, of course. But, it’s a great kit for anything and everything – hobbies, friends, family – you’re toadally into.   Chelle’s talented friends have been playing with Toadally and the coordinating Add-on (which are combined with the doodles in the Bundle – don’t miss that bargain!). Let’s see what they’ve made for us.

First, Donna has a nephew who is toadally cute in his little frog outfit that toadally matches Chelle’s kit! Look at the frog eyes on that little hat – so cute! I love the little frog on the toadstool accenting her smaller photo, too.

Next, Heather had a sequence of photos of her little girl being tossed about playfully by her daddy and loving it.  I love the way she used the banner to mark the title, and the little frog jumping off the pink toadstool is a perfect match for the theme of her photos.

Finally, Krista had more calm pictures for her page. Her title says it all, and the cute grins on the little felt frogs are an adorable pairing for her perfectly peaceful baby photos.

Take a closer look at the kits in the store. They will be a wonderful addition to your stash if you don’t have them already.

Let’s take a look back at a classic digital scrapbooking kit from Chelle’s Creations called Leafy Treetops. It’s perfect for spring photos you’re taking right now. With its trees, fountains, birds, butterflies, & flowers, this kit is a great match for lots of outdoor photos this time of year. The CT members have been playing with this kit and have some outstanding layouts to show us.

First, Krista has made a page with the theme of One Fine Day in celebration of the first sunny day, and I love that word art from the kit. I also love the shadowing she has on her fabulous clusters of flowers.

Next, Helen has made a double page spread using Leafy Treetops and Chelle’s Curled Frames. I love the sequence of photos she shows – what a cutie!

Finally, Christine has made a page using the Leafy Treetops Quickies along with elements from the kit. The quickies are a huge time-saver and can really be useful in jumpstarting your scrapbook layout process. Can you see which quickies she chose? Take a look in the market to see a closer look of the product.

Today we’re looking at the perfect digital scrapbooking kit for highlighting your Girl’s achievements from earning merit badges to simply entertaining the family with a dance. Of course, with the cheerful greens and blues, it’s a great choice for your outdoor photos, too. Let’s see what the CTMs have done with Girl Power.

First, Melissa chose to use it for her photos of her Pathfinder ceremony when she was just a cute, young girl. I love the way she has clustered the various elements around her two photos and stapled the string to the paper in several places.

Next, Jenn made two pages for us of her little girl dancing for the family. Her little cutie loves to perform, and Jenn captured the memory beautifully using Girl Power. I love the little butterfly in this kit.

Finally, Helen had some great outdoor photos of a walk in the woods, and she used Girl Power to make a gorgeous page to show them off. I love the plaid paper background, and I love the way she has the butterflies floating up to the pictures.
