Easter Hybrids| Digital Scrapbooking Resources

Hello Scrappers! I turned my calendar to April this morning and realized Easter is coming up. I wanted to give you some digital scrapbooking Easter hybrid ideas you can use in your celebration. Let me show you the goodies. (btw, the product links are at the bottom of this post.) I know you can have some fun this these bright, fun ellies & papers.

First, Carol (Iowan) made this hoppy-happy card. (say that 3 times fast… lol) She used Hippity Hop Hop!

Next, Kimberly made this cute basket using The Carrot Patch. Isn’t the front of it adorable?

Last, Krista made some gift boxes using Hippity Hop Hop also. Can you say Easter Egg Hunt?

Tweaking Templates

I don’t know about you, but I almost NEVER start a digital scrapbooking page without a template. Even if I make significant changes to it, I still prefer starting with a template, and tweaking templates is a great way to stretch your stash. That’s what we’re looking at today: tweaking templates. A few of Chelle’s CTMs have made layouts with templates and purposely modified them.

Christine started with one of the Scrapping with Liz Long Blocks Templates. She flipped it and removed a lot of the elements. She also moved the title from the top to the bottom of the page and used Chelle’s Home for the Holidays kit. I love how she chose to put one photo across the series of long block photo spots in the template. Christine

Next, Krista combined two kits of Chelle’s, At the Park and At the Beach, for a perfect page about their visit to Devil’s Punchbowl on their first day of Spring Break. She started with a template from Fuss Free: Stitched Together by Fiddle Dee Dee Designs  and changed it up quite a bit. I really love how she has placed the sun peeking from behind the strip of plaid paper.DevilsPunchbowl_Krista

Finally, Karen made a birthday page using One Year Older, the perfect kit choice. She started with a template from Scrapping with Liz Inspired by Jenn Templates, rotated it, and then switched out a journal spot for a third photo on her page. I love her clusters of presents and tissue paper. oneyearolder600x600Karen

I hope you’re inspired to tweak those templates and stretch your stash! Here’s a closer look at the kits the ladies have used.

Jenn S (Jenn Schultz) created her layout of Snow White & the 7 Dwarfs Topiaries. Such detail. Love the mix of the wood grain elements & the card with the bitty mushrooms. Can you imagine what you would look like topiariized? (Yep, made that word up.)

Happy Monday!

Today I get to show you a favorite digital scrapbooking layout I found in the gallery this week. This layout is by LoriJ. That photo is fantastic. Immediately pulled me in. With Chelle’s Out of this World Elements & the OOTW {Riveted Alpha} are so perfect. I see a universal friendship. What do you like best about this layout?

Girl Power

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. bella-1girlsrock

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.  Helen-girl-power

Gallery Stand Outs | Digital Scrapbooking Layouts

Hello Ladies!

I’m so looking forward to green grass and blue sky and birds twittering in the trees.  I think Debbyrose agrees with me. Look at her beautiful digital scrapbooking layout. Love how unstructured it is, yet it still has some formal shaping to it. {I hope that makes sense, I meant it as a compliment.)

Here are the Bluebird on my Shoulder & BOMS Quickies links to the products in Chelle’s SO Store.

I found another digital scrapbooking layout that agrees with our shared desire to have winter over for this year. I like Zippyoh’s used of the sunburst rays and her use of chevrons.

She used Hole In One Bundle and Hole In One Word Art.

Hope the weather cooperates in your area so you can have a bright sunny day!
