So sorry this is running a little late today. I have been busy getting outside with my two girls while the weather here in Florida is still a little reasonable. Soon it will be too hot to do much of anything but be in pool. Speaking of a pool watch as Chelle of Chelle’s Creations demonstrates how to get the look of her pool layout in the the video. In this video she is going to share how to use layer mask to use a larger photo in the background of a layout.
Carol (Iowan) shows the same technique on her gorgeous layout using Bluebird on My Shoulder. I really like how Carol positioned her cluster so that is appears as if her daughter is look at it.
If you loved the kit that Chelle used in her video head over to her store to check it out along with the coordinating Little People.
Hello Friends!
Today I wanted to show you some ideas for creating movement on your digital scrapbooking layout. Titles or words can instantly add dimension and contrast. You can change the font or color or even make them wonky or use more than one color. Another option is to use words that help convey movement. Most of our layouts do represent activities. {sleeping, reading, playing, etc.} Chelle has many products will help you out. Let me show you what I mean.
Roxana’s “Wet & Wild” and “Splash” words add a colorful and descriptive action to her layout.
Roxana used In the Pool. Chelle has coordinating In the Pool “Little People.”
Now let’s look at Krista’s layout. She created great movement in the layout using the angles of the slide photos. She also used little words “Climb, Slide, Play” to convey movement. Her title, “Sliding Down” adds texture to the layout.
Krista used At the Park. Chelle also has coordinating “At the Park Little People.”
Have a great day!

Hi Everyone! It’s Jenn, aka jk703, here to bring you another tutorial! A lot of times I try to recreate what I can create on a paper layout! One thing that I always liked was paint and splatter…. but then I also liked the opposite. What is the opposite? Today’s post – Tutorial: Stenciling! 
For my layout, I’ve used Chelle’s newest delight – Creme de la Peche! It is a gorgeous kit… but make sure you give it a chance, it is very versatile. I’ve used it today on a spring layout of my boys! My layout also uses a template by Scrapping with Liz, and the fonts – Special Elite and Wanderlust. Here is my final image: 
Start out with your blank page (by blank – I mean paint-less, lol!):
Add your paint – I have 3 layers here.
Next, you will place your shape above the paint. I’ve chosen leaves. Here are my two leaves layers, and my 3 paint layers:
Next, you will choose one of your leaves. Double click on the thumbnail image, and you will get marching ants around the shape. Now, On EACH paint layer, click on the layer and delete. The paint within the shape will be taken out. Do this for each shape you have, as I had to do it for each leaf, on each layer of paint.
Once you are done deleting paint, turn off your shape layers. And my page after deleted paint, and turned off leave layers:
That’s it!!
Really. That’s all that you have to do to mimic a stencil. You can do this with flowers, doily, and so much more. Here are some layouts the CT came up with for stenciling.
Karen made this lovely creation! Just look at the lacy edgers – perfect stenciling. Plus, I really like the mixed font and alpha title work. She used Creme de la Peche and SWL template Recyclables 29.
Lisa used Bunny Hop. She used the splashes and eggs to make her stenciling! Look at that line of pictures. My favorite is the candid silly one!
Jan made this super fun page from the Grizzly River Rafting Co. Ride – perfect for the water splash out of the spray – put on top of the bottom photo and behind the journaling tags. She used In the Forest and In The Pool, plus a retired Little Green Frog Designs template.
This Tutorial: Stenciling doesn’t have to be messy, and you will love the results! Give it a try.
Thanks for visiting and hoping to see layouts using this technique.
Sometimes there are items in a designer’s digital scrapbooking kits that I look at and think, “that’s nice, but I don’t think I’ll use it.” That was my thought when I first saw doodles in a kit. I had no idea what to do with them. But, Chelle has a Youtube video here to show you all you need to know to be able to fill the doodles with any color or paper you want making those doodles some of the most versatile elements in any kit. Go ahead and watch – I’ll wait.
Wasn’t that cool? Although the particular kit Chelle used in the video is not currently available, she has lots of other doodles in the market. Let me show you some in use.
Krista used Good Night Teddy kit and {Doodles} to make her page and the teddy bear accent on her page, but you can find the kit and the doodles and a whole lot more in the {Bundle} if you’re looking for a great deal. Isn’t he perfect? It’s an adorable accent to her photo. 
You don’t have to color in the the doodles. Sometimes, the doodles alone make the perfect accent to a page. Take Jenn’s page, for example. She used a lined ledger-style paper for her background, so the doodles she used from Oh Snap! look like they were hand-drawn on her page. The doodles are all included in this kit, one of the most versatile kits around. 
Lots of Chells’a products have doodles. Ladybug Hugs has a doodled alpha; Tea for Two has a teacup border doodle; and Chelle has lots of CU doodle alphas (don’t let that CU designation scare you – anyone can use them!). So grab a doodle and have a play. I’m sure you’ll love the personal touch it adds to your memory keeping.
Hi! I bet you never would have considered combining Fleur de Violette & Master Builder Friendly. The fun summery colors of pink & purple in these 2 kits are some of my favorites. Let me show you what I’m talking about. I have layouts from Kimberly and Mel. Kim’s up first. Both of our Ladies’ used the color squares. I love them, they make we want to paint also. How about you?
Here’s Mel’s 2-page spread.
Here’s a close-up of each side.
Here’s a close up of Fleur de Violette?
Want to see the Fleur de Violette Bundle?
Next we have Master Builder Friendly…
How about Friendly’s coordinating alpha?
I sure hope you’ll take a minute or two and make a layout using these 2 kits. Love to see what you scrap? Post ’em in the Pin Gallery using #Chelle. {Thanks!}

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.
