So sorry for the late play date, I got some family stuff going on. But the team had a blast playing with the sports themed releases this week. Check out the pages:
And here are the great products the Chelle released this week:
Plus two freebies that coordinate with the karate and basketball kits:
And that’s it for this week. This is Liz signing off!
I am sponsoring the Digi-Dare this week. What does that mean? Well, it means if you complete the dare, you have a chance to win a up to $40 in coupons from me & the other Dare sponsors this month. (Do it! Everyone is so busy right now…your chances are GREAT!)
Here’s the details:
* One photo only. Make it the focus of your page.
* No faces in the photo. The picture has to be centered on an inanimate object that helps you tell your story. (If there are residual body parts in the story… ie kids feet by a pile of toys, etc, that’s fine. But NO faces. No people as the focus. Got it?)
* Journaling. Give us the details of the story that your photo is telling. We want people twenty years from now to be able to understand what this photo means to you.
* Have your journaling interact with / overlap your photo somehow. You can journal around the perimeter of your photo, journal straight on your photo, use your photo as
the background, overlay journaling strips over your photo… however you want to interpret this is fine.
* Stitch your photo down somehow.
* Kraft. Use kraft paper or elements or alpha. Whatever. But get some kraft on this page somehow.
I used it as inspiration for my first december daily page:
Check out the digi dares blog…there’s a treat for digi dare readers.
Hello, Chelle’s Creations friends and fans! It’s time for our challenge for you to create a digital scrapbook page by scraplifting a member of Chelle’s creative team. This month, we’re lifting Shari, and you can view her gallery here (you’ll love it – she makes AWESOME pages). Here’s one of my favorites of hers, and it’s the Washington Monument. I love the large focal point photo on the left.
Two of Chelle’s team scraplifted this page and came up with these beautiful layouts you’ll see next. First, Jennifer created a gorgeous page about a visit to the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville using Chelle’s In Harmony kit.
Next, Fonetta took the same inspiration and made a yummy page about her son’s creatively grilled burger using, of course, Chelle’s Chillin’ & Grillin’ kit and Celebrate! Bold.
Carol made this page after looking at Shari’s Families Are Made with Love layout.
Rebecca perused Shari’s gallery and found her page It’s Great to Be 8. She used it for inspiration for this adorable page of her boys helping to make breakfast with their dad, and she used Chelle’s Sunnyside Up kit.
Finally, Leslie took a double page spread of Shari’s called Grandpa’s Garden and made it her own about a trip to Carlsbad Caverns using Chelle’s On the Trail.
So, here’s the challenge: if YOU do a scrap lift of any layout in Shari’s gallery and post in Chelle’s Creations ScrapOrchard gallery and leave a link to your lift in the comments section of this post, BY THE END OF THIS MONTH,then you will get this awesome gift from Shari AND be entered to win a $10 gift card from Chelle’s Creations! How awesome is that?!
What are you waiting for? Don’t forget to come back here to comment with a link to your layout in Chelle’s Gallery.
Today we are going to take a look at some digital scrapbook layouts using VROOOM!. Do you know someone who is anxiously awaiting the day when he/she can get behind the wheel? Or do you know someone, big or small, who is attracted to anything with wheels? If so then this kit is a must have. The talented ladies on Chelle’s team even show you that your layout doesn’t have to be about cars at all.
Ronnie scrapped about an event that she would rather forget. I love how she used the large sound elements.
Jenny did a great job on her layout. I really love her journaling and the use of the tire border.
Roxana did a terrific job using the kit in a non-car layout. She did a great job using the arrow and road signs.
Karen also used the kit in a non-car manner. She did a super job using the kits elements to enhance her layout.
Here is a closer look at Vrooom! and the Vrooom! Garage Add-on. (Images are linked)
Hope everyone has a terrific day!
Now that Thanksgiving has passed, Christmas will be sneaking up on us. I know this is a busy time of year, so while you are running here and there to get everything done take time to check out the awesome layouts in Chelle’s Gallery at Scrap Orchard. I spent some time there recently and have picked three layouts to share with you.
First Washington Pass by zippyoh
I love large blend photos and this layout does it perfectly. She also added two great clusters.
Next, Letter to Santa by Lenushenka
Great blocking, super cute pictures, and great use of word art brought this layout to my attention.
And last, but not least, Blessing Day by britaneejean
Amazing shadows, and I just love how she tucked those photos into floral clusters.
If you would like to see your creations, made with Chelle’s wonderful products, showcased here be sure to load them into Chelle’s gallery at Scrap Orchard. Hope each and every one of you have a wonderful holiday season.

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.
