Chalkboards and chalky alphabets are all over the digital scrapbooking world right now. Every week, I see a new chalkboard idea on one of the digi sites and they are cool and funky. Let’s go take a look at just a few of the chalkboard products I’ve seen lately.

Designer Digitals

At Designer Digitals, Katie Pertiet has a lot of chalk and chalkboard products in her store. Some that have caught my eye include six ready-made clustered square elements, a paper pack of basic chalkboard backgrounds in various shades of green and black, and a chalkboard alphabet set rimmed in metal.

Blending has always been a popular tool for digital scrapbookers. It’s one of those fun techniques that you just can’t do with paper scrapping. Using photoshop or other similar programs, you can blend papers, photos, textures, overlays, brushes and on and on. The possibilities are truly endless. Blendable products are really hot right now. Let’s take a look at just a few of the new digi products that have been released.

Katie Pertiet has collection after collection of blendable products at Designer Digitals. She has just released 3 new blending products this week, including vintage journalers with soft edges for easy blending, as well as a blended template that includes snippets of papers and elements. All you have to do is add your photo, paper and some journaling. Her third release is a set of 4 12×12 clipping masks for blending your own papers and photos.

There are too many wonderful banners at Designer Digitals to count! But these three kits are the newest ones to hit the shelves.
