Family Tree

Have you seen Chelle’s classic kit Family Tree? It is perfect for scrapping family togetherness, family reunions, or family history pages. But, with its yummy earth tones and hues of orange and green, it is also a great selection if you are scrapping fall photos or photos of other special memories. Let me show you some examples by Chelle’s Creative Team.

Carol had a colorized photo from 1947 that looks fantastic with this kit. She erased part of the background of the image, but otherwise that is the original photo in digital form you see on her page. The colors in the photo and the colors of the Family Tree kit are a perfect match. See that great title she used? It’s in Chelle’s coordinating Word Art for the kit, and it saved Carol tons of time using it instead of creating it from scratch.Familiesareforever_zps9145c635

Next, Krista also had a family photo to scrap. She did a great job editing her photo: first she changed it to black and white, and then she added a color layer of brown matching the color of one of the papers. She placed that color layer above the photo layer and clipped it to the photo, then she adjusted the blending mode until she was happy with the results. What do you think? It’s a perfect match.

Heather is new on Chelle’s team, and I am thrilled to be able to feature a page of hers. She used the Family Tree kit to record a memory about seeing the temple as she travelled. She tells the story of her dad singing a little song in the family car as they approached the temple, and it signaled to her they were close to home after any trip. I love the striped paper she chose for her background, don’t you? 11-13_Whocanseethetempleheather

Finally, Leah has given us a gorgeous page she has made to remind her to eat a balanced meal – totally off-topic from the theme of this kit, but I’m sure you will agree with me that she could not have chosen a better match. Her flower clusters around the photos and journaling are fantastic. And, I love the way she blended paint layers onto the background. Did you notice the vines back there? They are my favorite element in this kit.33010leah

Gallery Stand Outs | Digital Scrapbooking Inspiration

Hey Everyone! I found some digital scrapbooking layouts in the Scrap Orchard gallery that I wanted to share with you.

Tpbuffy used One Year Older kit to decorate a very special bowling birthday. I like her clustering work and the dimension it creates.

Gallery Stand Outs | Digital Scrapbooking Inspiration

Hello Friends! I loved digital scrapbooking day! The games were tons of fun. (Though I still only found 3 of the 4 railroads in Scrapopoly!) It was fun to get to know some of our fellow scrappers! I’ve been looking through the gallery to see what our “peeps” have been up to, and I have some layouts to share with you. They are all very different.

First I have ScrappinRae. She used Pizza & Pasta to highlight her little one’s food-wearing activities. Great cluster with the pot.
