Gallery Stand Outs | Digital Scrapbooking Layout Ideas

Hi Ya’All, I found some digital scrapbooking layouts to share with you from the Scrap Orchard pin gallery.

First I have Aurian’s layout using Naughty or Nice. Love all the bitty pictures showing all the activities her family celebrated during Christmas 2012. Absolutely love this.

Next I have Meagan43. She used On the Trail. I love split in the page with the large photo on one side and the journaling on the left. It really emphasizes the height of the trees and waterfall.

Conversations | Digital Scrapbooking Words On Wednesday

Hey Everyone! I hope you are up to your eyeballs in preparation for the 4th of July holiday here in America. Wherever you are in the world, I hope you are celebrating, scrapping & participating in Iron Scrapper at Scrap Orchard. It’s Wednesday and I wanted to talk about conversations. Recording your conversations in your digital scrapbooking layouts have the potential to be some of your favorite layouts. Conversations between your children and grandparents, children about current events, conversations about the end of the school year, or just things you find amusing. I was talking to Chelle’s Mom on the phone just last night and we both agreed that we were missing out on some of those conversations we could have had with our now deceased parents.

So here goes: a Movie, an Owie, & a Mohawk! Let me show you what the CT team came up with.

Mel (KSCroppyChic) shares a great conversation she had with her daughter, Teanna. Mel used Chalked {Boards}Chalked {School Alpha}  Rainbow Collection {Reds, Golds, & Neutrals,} & Now Showing {Banners & Felties.}Melissa (kscroppychic) She used Now Showing Felties & Banners

Next we have a funny conversation that Jenny (Jenn18) recorded with her little one. She used Get Well Soon & GWS Wort Art. How funny! “No more pictures, my knee hurts so bad!”

Our last layout comes from Jenn J (jmljensen) using Oh! Snap.  She gives us one of those funny “Kids say the darnedest things” layouts.  You’ve got to love a kid with that much confidence!

Looking forward to seeing your conversation layouts in the pin gallery at Scrap Orchard. We’ll chat again soon!
Hugs!

 

Words on Wednesday: Sayings | Digital Scrapbooking Tips

Hi Fellow Scrappers!  Does your family have a favorite saying…maybe it’s a movie quote…or a phrase from an inside joke. Those sayings make great words for your scrapbooks. Sayings… boy, my family has a bunch of them. I can only think of a few of them, but I know we have/had a zillion of ’em.”

  • “Were you born in a barn?” (question asked when someone didn’t shut the entrance door to the house. Usually on Sunday night’s as my Mom & Dad’s. Culprits were usually the grandkids racing out the door to play.)
  • “You make a better door than a window!” (asked when someone crossed in front of the TV and blocked their vision.)
  • “Live or Die. It’s up to you.” (said by Grandma Pitcher when she transplanted something)
  • “Those potatoes are so creamy!” (said to change the subject. Quote from the movie While You Were Sleeping)
  • “That must have happened while I was in the mission field!” (of my father’s 9 children, 5 daughters and 2 son’s have served mission’s for our church! )  Said whenever someone brought up a memory you had no idea what they were talking about. It didn’t have to happen during the actual mission, it could be yesterday, but we would always that. It eventually morphed in “Mission Memory! Also funny because they were actually non-mission memories! LOL
  • Too many accessories clutter an outfit!” (said when commenting about someone’s outfit or jewelry. Quote from the movie Troop Beverly Hills”)
  • “Green means go in Utah!” (said to any driver who doesn’t drive as fast through the intersection as we might have liked.)
  • Stupid Announcer Comment! (said when watching sports and the play by play guys makes an absolutely ridiculously statement!)
  • Chelle’s Dad says, “Because it’s colder in the mountains than in the spring!” I find this one funny because I’ve never heard him say it.
  • Another I remember him saying was “Act, Not React!”

More recently I will say:

  • Dude! Really?
  • Seriously? That’s what your going with!”

Think about the phrases that you and your family use.  Then scrap about it!   Let me show you what the CT Members created (links to the products are in the caption under the photo):

Melissa N. (KSCroppyChic) shared what she found out after polling her friends and family.”I polled my family on what I say most. Come to find out, it was unanimous among the 4 of them. It’s not so much a saying as a word, so I asked my sister, my mom and 2 best friends and again unanimous. I was struggling with this topic for some reason so I decided to go with a word more than a saying, hope it works. On the other hand, I think I need to find something else to say! Seriously! LOL” Here’s her LO.

Mel N (KSCroppyChic) Mel used Apple of my Eye and Fill-Me-In-Bundle

Nee Nee (neenee) She used Ladybug Hugs!

Ophelia (navaja77) She used Rainbow Collection, Oh Snap! & Fill Me In {Marker}

Hope this post gives you lots of great ideas.
Hugs!

Rainbow Collection | Digital Scrapbooking Classics

Have you ever wished you had just one giant digital scrapbooking kit to be the backbone of your entire collection? Before I knew about Chelle’s Rainbow Bundle, I wished for a multi-purpose kit to be the basic background for any layout, and then I could add elements from specialty themed kits, if needed. The Rainbow Bundle is that staple I needed. Chelle’s team members have been playing with the bundle, and I want to show you their layouts.

First, Mary used the Rainbow Bundle to make a page with some photos of her sweet little blonde boy. She has used all bright colors in the kits, various elements from the primary color sets, to make a cheerful page with her gorgeous photos. I love how she used the phrase on his t-shirt as the inspiration for the page, and her clustering of flowers and strings is the perfect background for the pictures.kentlove-2011Mary

Next, Kairyn made a double page layout with the Rainbow Bundle. Her children made adorable lapbooks about subjects they had in school, and her pictures of them proudly holding their projects are the focus of her pages. First, the left side2008-04-29Lapbooking-LKairyn then the right2008-04-29Lapbooking-RKairyn and here’s what the double layout looks like altogether 2008-04-29Lapbooking-2pgKairynLisa I love that yellow gingham paper in the background and the many buttons and stitches holding down the photos.

Here’s a closer look at the bundle in the market: cc_rainbowcollection_bundle

and in case you want to try it out on a smaller scale first, I love the quickies Chelle has done. cc_rainbowcollection_quickies

Aren’t they just cheerful and happy? I know you’ll have fun with these, and they will certainly be a staple of your stash of supplies.
