If I were a…. what a great question to use to jump start a digital scrapbooking interview with someone: a child, a parent, a or a grandparent. You can go absolutely anywhere with an open-ended question.I’ve thought of a few that might give you some ideas:

If I were a pair of dice …..
if I were a butterfly….
If i were an actor….
If I were a merry go round….
If I were a rich man…. (think Fiddler on the Roof)
If I were a judge’s gavel….
If I were a road construction cone…
If I were Miss Scarlet in the…. (think Clue)
If only I were a contestant on “Project Runway”….
If only I were the President of the United States….

Stuck with a picture you want to scrap, but can’t figure out a theme or an idea, try this idea out. I’ll bet you have some creative and intriguing layouts. I challenged 3 of our Creative Team members to share where “If-I-were-a….. ” ended up taking them. Check ’em out below:

Leah created this wonderful digital scrapbooking layout, “if only…”. I love the paper treatment and washed out castle. I Each of us could sit and look at this layout and daydream about “if only…”

She used Carrot Patch & Tea for Two.

Next we have Kassie (Kass_23). Her big picture dominates that page and clearly shows her daughter’s joy in being a “deer.” Isn’t that flower on the deer’s head in the corner adorable?

She used In the Forest & INT Alpha.

The third layout is by Jenn J (jmljensen). Her layout tells of the family dog’s wish , “if only I were a boy.” Wouldn’t it be great if our animals could talk and tell us what they think?

She used On the Water.

I know you’ll have a great time using the “if only I were…” prompt. Create a layout and upload into the gallery at Scrap Orchard. We really enjoy seeing what you design.

Hugs!

Tea for Two | Digital Scrapbooking Classics

“You’re invited to a tea party: It’s Tea for Two. Soft feminine colors & sweet elements highlight your sisters, friends, & grandmothers…a sweet kit for all of your treasured relationships.” That’s a quote directly from Chelle’s Creations store regarding the classic Tea for Two kit I want to highlight today. It is adorable and perfect for a host of digital scrapbooking projects.

Chelle’s creative friends have been playing with this kit, and their pages are adorable! Leslie had tea with her mom in England and took some photos of the yummy scones and the beautiful locale. She made a gorgeous page about this special event using Chelle’s Tea for Two kit and the matching word art. The theme of her page matches the theme of the kit perfectly. I love how she used the pink and yellow floral paper pieces separated by lace and ribbons to make the background of her page, and her shadowing of the flowers and leaves makes them look real enough to touch.

Jen (supergirljennie) wanted to use this same kit to make a page about one her favorite pastimes: enjoying a cup of tea and a good book. And, even though she used this classic kit, her page is very modern. I love that her photo shows a digital book reading device, and her journaling is in the form of a hashtag. Pages that show current trends are some of my favorites, and I love how Jen has used a modern-feeling quilt pattern with a classic kit for her page.

Another of Chelle’s team members named Jen (GrahamLiketheCracker) wanted to create a couple of special scrapbook pages about her precious little baby girl, and she also chose Tea for Two. Her pages are a collection of portrait photos of her daughter, and this kit complements her photos perfectly. The colors are soft and sweet, just like her little one. Take a close look at her two pages: I love how she used the tea cups as a banner on the second page.

Finally, Helen has a page to show us that made me chuckle. Her daughter refused to believe she couldn’t get into her baby doll stroller. I’m sure it was great fun for mom taking photos and watching this silly one try every possible angle of entry. Looks like she managed to get her feet in and was quite proud of herself! I love the word art strips she created around the page to tell the story.

Do you need this kit? You can see it is perfect for lots of occasions. I’m planning to go to a certain theme park in Orlando this summer, and I’ll use this kit to make pages about one of my favorite rides that involves spinning around in some crazy teacups. Can you guess what that might be? I can’t wait! Take a closer look at it in the market, and I’m sure you’ll see why I’m planning to use this kit.

Hello Friends! I have some great new digital scrapbooking layouts to share with you I found in the gallery this week. It’s always interesting for me to look at the gallery and read what other’s write to support each other in our digi-world?

djp332 used Chelle’s (& Dream Big Design’s) Heroes: Police kit in an unusual off-theme way. Who’d of thunk of using it for a school crossing guard? I love the borders and the clusters. The stitching and chevron’s, just wonderful!

Everyday life can make the best layouts. Enjoyyourpix had a minor fall, but her daughter gave her a photo assist so she was able to share this funny layout. She used Chelle’s “Oh Snap” Kit.

Jen (grahamlikethecracker) has given us a just delightful double layouts of her “Little Lottiekins.” How can you not smile when you see that little face. I want to just pick her up out of the picture and just hug her. Jen used Tea for Two off-theme.

DigiCheryl’s layouts used many pictures, but I love the way they go and forth as the cascade down the page. The little 3-strips photos are great! This layouts has some great clusters andI love the way she used the Kanzashi flowers. It makes me think of a visiting with my siblings on a Sunday afternoon. She used Berry Berry Sweet.

Herbrok, created a tender reminder of the love between Mother & son using Chelle’s About A Boy kit. A simple & touching.

Check out the gallery when you can. There are some marvelous masterpieces you may have missed seeing.

Hugs!

Hello Friends!
What a lovely kit Chelle made this week. A beautiful and lovely memory of times present and times past. Chelle’s Great Grandmother Pitcher (my grandmother) collected tea cups & saucers and had them placed about her house. A few years before she died, she gave each of her granddaughters one from her collection. This kit helps me travel back in time so Sunday afternoons at 4pm where we all gathered each to visit with Grandma Pitcher and our Aunts and cousins. You can choose the Tea for Two Bundle or pick them up individually: Tea for Two, Tea for Two Word Art, Tea For Two Ginghams, Tea for Two Freebie, & CU Curled Paper Flowers.
For our CU Friends, Chelle gives us CU Curled Paper Flowers:
