Shari used Primarily Mini, Celebrate Bold, & Chilln & Grillin. Her use of the 3 pictures really tells the tale of the pinata party they had.

Gallery Standouts | Digital Scrapbooking Inspiration

Hello Ladies! Got some great new digital scrapbooking layouts to share with you and give you ideas for layouts you might want to create. I’m getting better and going through the SO pin-style gallery. Hope you are too.
Let me start by sharing Wendy Bird’s Hybrid Bookmark. She used Chelle’s In the pocket and Rainbow Greens. Isn’t this a great idea? It’s not to soon to be thinking of teacher presents. School ends in just 3-4 months. I absolutely love the clustering. It gives such dimension, but as we know in the digi world, it’s actually completely flat.

Shari made this delightful layout about their summer fun pinata activity. The large photo of the gentleman really pulled me in. It shows that pinata’s are fun for every age. She used Primary Mini, Celebrate Bold, & Chilln & Grillin.

Title & Subtitle | Digital Scrapbooking Words on Wednesday

Hello Everyone! Hope you’re having a great Wednesday! Aunt Sari here to talk about Titles. We seem to either love them or hate them. One fun way to change things up is to separate your title into a title & a subtitle. Chelle does this all the time with her word arts. One or two words are large & made with an alpha, the rest are done with a font. Whatever you choose do, word art titles really add color and fun to any LO. See you soon!

Aren’t these adorable? I look at them and I see family cookouts, amusement parks, water parks, watching community softball or baseball games. We used to play water balloon volleyball when I was in my 20s–worked out really good too, unless you had a partner who preferred to break the balloons rather than catch them with your towel and send them back over the net to someone else. Who can think of summer now without the human elastic rubber band game. I”m sure you all have great ideas. Here’s some from the Creative Team: First up we have Cara showing us a field trip to the Zoo. The contrast on the title (word art) really pops.

Next up is Ophelia with a super design on trains. The Polar Express title really helps me hear the clackety-clack and the whistle to alert everyone the train is pulling into the station.

Last, we have Roxana who used different sub-titled tags to help frame her pictures. I love the title of “Oh My” It really pulls all the dark elements together. Now I need some candy corn. Bummer!

Want MORE? Check out the matching kits in the market. Make A Splash, Chillin & Grillin, Ticket To Ride, & Sunnyside Up in the market.

Unlikely Pairs: Chillin & Grillin & EIEIO | Digital Scrapbooking Kit Combinations

Hi everyone, Janine here with this weeks idea to stretch your mind and stretch your stash.  Many people, like to use just one kit when they are completing a page and there is nothing wrong with that, but a great way to stretch your stash and your mind is to use two kits you wouldn’t normally think would go together and find a way to combine them on a page.  This week a few of the CT girls and I created pages using two kits that you wouldn’t normally put together they are:
E-I-E-I-O by Chelle’s Creations:

The other kit we paired with it was Chillin’ and Grillin’ by Chelle’s Creations:

Here are the layouts we came up with:
