Hello Digiland! I am Julie and I present to you this week’s Unlikely Pairs! Today we will be viewing the combination of two (and an add on) of Chelle’s kits: “Prehistoric,” “Back 2 School,” and “Back 2 School: Fall Semester.” I know, dinosaurs and school?! Together? Not likely, right? Wrong! These two kits are wonderful together! Here are some layouts made by some of Chelle’s talented Creative Team members to show you how you can make beautiful pages with “unlikely pairs!”
First, take a look at the kits.
Now here are the layouts using these kits.
First off we have one by Roxanna using Prehistoric, Back 2 School, and Back 2 School: Fall Semester.
This one by Karen was made using Prehistoric and Back 2 School: Fall Semester.
Ronnie made this one using Prehistoric and Back 2 School: Fall Semester
And Cara made this layout using Prehistoric and Back 2 School
These are amazing layouts!
Next time you find the time to scrap, think about how you can make incredible layouts by using unlikely pairs!

Wow! Can you believe it’s the end of 2011 already? Where did the year go? How come the older I get the faster time flies by? Any ways, I’m sure you are more interested in what Chelle has coming out this week than me rambling on about where the year went. So, without further ado, Chelle’s fabulous new kit is so adorable.

It is another fabulous playdate here on Chelle’s blog! She doesn’t have any new new releases this week but in all the Christmas hub and bub I forget to post last week’s playdate so here is what the girls came up with!
And here are the fun products we got to play with!
Quickies:
And two freebies that coordinate:
Toe Picks and Figure Eights:
And that is all I have for this week! Everyone have a happy holidays and a fun weekend and come back next week because Chelle has super cute releases for next week. You do not want to miss out!
Merry Christmas! What better way to celebrate the holidays than a time saving, fun filled freebie from Chelle’s Creations? In the spirit of the season I couldn’t help but play with the Build-a-Snowman kit and some papers from Home for the Holidays. We aren’t going to have snow at our house but Chelle’s kit makes it almost as fun to create a frosty friend. I personally like to dress the snowmen up like my kids for a pop of fun. This little guy is getting ready for the season with a handmade banner. I plan to add letters to the banner for a great page topper but it can be used in any number of ways.
Have a magical holiday season!

Do this by the end of December and you will receive this awesome cluster frame from Shari. Also you will be entered to win a $10 gift card from Chelle’s Creations.
So what are you waiting for? Go find a page and do a scraplift today!
Wait don’t leave just yet…Have you checkout out the December Challenges taking place in the ScrapOrchard forum? Here are just a few in which Chelle’s kits would work wonderfully.
December 4: Bring It– Use two different alphas on your layout. Chelle has quite a few alphas that will look terrific together. Check out just a few of them.
December 19: Scrap That Tune– Use all or part of Chritmas song somewhere on your page. Chelle has quite a few Christmas kits that would pair up perfectly with your chosen tune.
In 1985 David Letterman started a new segment on his show called the Top Ten. His list was 10 humorous things related to a topic. It’s a great way to do your journaling. You can use a Top Ten list as your journaling or start with a Top Ten (or Top 5 or Top 3) then add the rest of the story in paragraph form.
So where do you start? Here’s a few ideas:
* Ask the other people in your photos “What was your favorite part about?”…compile the lists into a Top Ten.
* Make up your own list similar to Dave’s. His often start with the same first few words:
–Top ten signs…
–Top ten tips…
–Top ten ways…
–Top ten facts…
–Top ten things overheard…
–Top ten thoughts…
* Is Ten too many? Top Five or Top Three works just as well.
Here’s my layout:
I’d love to see your Top 10 layout. Link me up in the comments!
We’re looking at a terrific digital scrapbook kit today called Something Fishy. Chelle’s scrapbook elves have made some fabulous layouts to show you the versatility of this kit. Ophelia made this adorable page about her trip to an aquarium. Look how cute those fish are! 
Next, Kim made a page about her little one reading colorful books; the colors in this kit are perfect for her precious pictures. 
Melissa chose to use the kit for a gorgeous page about her last day at the warm and sunny Punta Cana. 
Lynett chose to make a page about a special date night with her hubby using the same kit; the colors really convey the feeling of a fun evening.
And, Fonetta also chose to use the these great papers and embellishments for a page about her “catch of a lifetime.” That title word art is so creative, I’ll have to scraplift that. 
Let’s take a closer look at the kit Something Fishy.
Also available are Fishy Clusters and Edgers and Word Art. 
There’s also a set of Felties that coordinate, and you can save a bit by purchasing the bundle. 
I hope you’ve enjoyed looking at this classic kit as much as I have! 
It’s another Monday and I am here with another group of gallery standouts. There are tons of wonderful layouts in Chelle’s gallery at ScrapOrchard, please stop by and check them out for some inspiration. Each of the layouts here are link so you can leave these talented ladies some love.
First. Broken Bone by angiepangie. I just love how she used an angled journaling box. And that she thought to take pictures during an obviously stressful situation.
Snowman poop by LoriJ. I think this hybrid project is seriously too cute and may copy it for my kids!
And last, but not least, Hayride by jpickett22. I just love the black background, the simple lines, and the wonderful picture in this layout!
I hope that everyone has a wonderful week and enjoys the Holidays. I know I am going to enjoy the time spent with my family and friends.
I was so excited when Chelle released her figure skating kit, Toe Picks & Figure 8s. Skating has been one of my passions since I was a young girl, I even have a website, and will be attending the US Figure Skating Nationals this year. So, I decided to make a journaling cluster with this kit. Click the image to download!
Enjoy!!

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.
