Hybrid Happy

Yep...that's me.  I love to combine my love for traditional scrapbooking with my love for digital scrapbooking.  :)  Wanted to show you a layout today where I did just that.  

I started with this digital page that I made.  It uses the fabulous "August Collection" digital kit from Marks Paper Company.

I printed it on textured cardstock.  Then I took an exacto knife and cut the photo out of the page so I could put a layer in between the photo and the page.  

And since you know how much I love lace and trim...that is what I put behind the photo.  Next I printed a collage of digital papers and cut circles out to add as flowers on my page.  I put those above the flowers that were already on my page to make them really pop.  Finishing touches of paint, glitter and gems, and you have my completed layout:

Close Up's:

Playful

Kate had a new release this week over at 2 peas.  It's a mega kit called "Playful".  Check it out here.  And see what the rest of the DT did on Kate's blog here.  Here are a couple layouts I made with the kit.  

I love the kit...it is so fun!  :)

Well I am off to Idaho today.  My sister-in-law is graduating with her masters there, so me and the kids are heading up with my parents.  Hubby is staying here.  :(  But he is taking his big licensing test on Saturday, so pray for him.  It's a long drive for us, and we are splitting it into two days.  So we will arrive tomorrow.  Long car rides are tricky....you just never know how they are going to go with a little baby...wish me luck!  :)  

Just throw it all on!

So I was all ready to get a lot done last night...everyone was cooperating...boys in bed, Eryn asleep....hubby watching some "guy" flick and going to bed.  I came down...and got nothing done.  nothing.  Once I got the chance to scrap I didn't feel like scrapping.  :(

But here is a layout I did over the weekend and hadn't posted on here yet...

I just knew I had to take pictures of Eryn in this onesie and scrapbook it.  It reads : "I grow up fast. scrapbook."  Boy is that true.  

I used a lot of random and fun embellishments and layered them.  This layout was super quick because I just grabbed whatever was closest to me and made it work!  It was kinda fun.  :)

Supplies:

Paper--7 gypsies and Graphic 45, Chipboard--Creating Keepsakes, Jenni Bowlin and Cosmo Cricket, Letter Stickers--Rusty Pickle, Transparency--Hambly, Gems--Prima, Flower--Prima, Pearl--Kaisercraft, Stamp and ink (on bird)--Stampin' Up!.

CPS 114

Oh I just loved the sketch this week for CPS. Here's what I did for it...

And on a side note...everytime I hear "the virus formerly know as Swine Flu"...I laugh...makes me think of Prince. Funny, yes, but the news makes it seem so grim. And it is here. It makes me nervous just sending my son to school. I'm worried that my son will get it...bring it back, and then my baby will get it. Anybody else worried?

Supplies for CPS card:

Cardstock--Xerox, Papers--Rusty Pickle, Chipboard--Tattered Angels, Glimmer Mist--Tattered Angels, Pearls--Kaisercraft, Stamp (Thank You)--Kitchen Sink Stamps, trim--unknown.

NSD...

has come and gone...although there are many sites that are celebrating throughout the whole weekend.  I didn't get too much done.  :(  I did 3 layouts, one traditional and two digital.  Maybe I will get time tomorrow to work some more but I am not going to count on it.  Here are the two digi layouts I did...

I made both of them for challenges over at 2 peas.

Motivation

So I have been looking through some older photos lately...some I might have missed scrapbooking.  And I am surprised by how many I am ending up using, I thought I had scrapbooked all of those that I wanted to.  I'd rather scrapbook photos again then not scrapbook anyways.  :)  So here is a layout for you today using the Fruit Salad kit from the fabulous Kate Teague.

 

BTW...I got an amazing email from Kate this week asking me to design for her...just out of the blue!  Crazy!  :)  I am amazed at how many doors seem to be opening for me with digital stuff!   

I am feeling incredibly motivated today.  This comes after a few days of not feelin' it at all.  So I have a big....secret...project in mind that I think I am going to start on.  Wish me luck!  

Oh...and check out Kate's blog right now for a digital freebie (but only the first 200 get one). Have an AWESOME Friday!
