New from...

everywhere!! I have been a little quiet here on the blog. I am currently working on a big project that is taking all sorts of time, I have run out of ink and it should be here anyday now - so hybrid has been quiet. But I do have some layouts I can share with you, so here they are:

This month I am a Guest CT Member for WM2 over at Scrap Matters. This first layout uses her Let It Snow kit. I love it! The colors are great and the elements are just adorable! I am sorry to say, I can't remember whose template this is. I will add the information once I find it.


This second layout uses WM2's Day by Day V.1 Templates and Month by Month V.1 Kit. I totall love the bright colors of this!!




Next up is Gotta Grab It at Gotta Pixel. What you see here is from both Spinky Dink Scraps & Simply Scraps! Lindsay and Laura did almost a collab on their packs for January and this is the result! The pieces are great for just about anything.


Moment Captured is made using a KIT (yes I said kit!!) from Susan Robinson Designs. You can pick it up over at Polka Dot Plum. The kit is called Capture. Record. I totally love this kit! The template is by Studio Hillary.

Last, but certainly not least - this layout was made using a template from Studio Hillary and Flergs Tinker Toy Kit. (I love Flergs!!!) This was for the SBG Studio Matters PlayDay last week. The word art is from Elegant Word Art by Bethany over at Scrap Orchard.

And that's it for today! Hopefully I will be back much sooner next time! Stay tuned!

Lots of Templates!

Hey there everybody! I have a bunch of stuff to show you today! This first one uses SNOW DAY by Amy Stoffel. It's an adorable kit with LOTS of great snow elements. Unfortunately, as I write this post, we haven't had that much snow, so I used it in a non-snowy way! It just shows how versatile this kit really is!! The template is by Susan Robinson, part of her SketchPad #11 Collection and is available at PDP.



This next layout also uses an Amy Stoffel kit. It's called WINTER'S KISS. It's got a gorgeous color pallette! Again, I used in a non-wintery way. This is my LOVELY daughter Amanda...and just for the girls on Amy's team, she posed for me in her new Twilight inspired T-shirt. This is also a Susan Robinson template - so check her out over at PDP.

Next up - a template by Adi of LePingouin Designs and a kit by Litabells Designs. This was Lita's first kit and I think it's AWESOME!! You can find it at DayDreamer Designworks.

Last but certainly not least, is this BEAUTY (pun intended) which uses the MISS AMERICA kit by Kandy Kane Creations and the template belongs to Studio Hillary.

And that's it for today! Be sure to check out these great kits and templates!!

FLAVORS OF LIFE: FALL

Amy Stoffel has done it again!! Another set of FLAVORS OF LIFE with Jen Yurko. This time the amazing duo chose FALL (they also have a SUMMER set out so be sure to check those out as well!)

These two layouts use two different kits. These kits are bigger than a mini, yet smaller that a regular size kit...

This first layout uses BUTTERSCOTCH KISS and a template from Studio Hillary's new SQUARE PEGS template set.


Next up is a layout using a template by LITABELLS DESIGNS (which isn't released yet, so you're getting a sneak peek) and the kit is PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE.

And that's it for today...you might see at least on more project with this set of Flavors kit...it's just not quite ready yet, so be sure to come back and see it!

PIO Plus

This is gonna be a long post, just because I feel as I start writing this that I think I might have a lot to say! LOL

First, I realized I totally forgot to post my Pile It On! post yesterday, so I am going to start there and just add to it.

So, we have a wonderful sponsor this week at Pile It On! SOFTPENCIL!! This is the second time they have sponsored us and they really have the most ADORABLE images!! See my little bat? That's my SoftPencil image.

Now, if you've been a reader for a while, you know I have gone from paper to pretty much entirely digital. This week's Pile It On! challenge is to do something 3-D. Now our three dimensional could merely mean a button, pop dots - anything that gives your project some dimension! So, me being me, I made an actual 3-D Project - in both the project, as well as the tag....take a peek:

This really is a super simple project. I made the tag only....the rest is a clear plastic cup (yup - those cheapie drinking cups you buy and throw away for a party) and the treat sacks. I bought these because they were "classic" black - although those are skulls! LOL And then I made my tag. The tag is actually on with the twist tie that comes with the treat sacks, the ribbon is totally embellishment.

And of course with all Pile It On! challenges, you need to PILE IT ON!! So here are the other challenges that work for my project:

• Pile It On - 3-D
• Belli Challenge - Halloween & Bling
• CCEE Stampers - Go Digital
• Fun with Shapes - Halloween
• Gingersnap Creations - Bling
• DareU2DigiStamp - punches or die cuts & digi image

So hopefully you will run over to the Pile It On! blog and have fun with our challenge this week.

Next up are a bunch of layouts I did yesterday - and it's actually not all of them. So if you just want to have a peek and tell me what you think if you feel like it. I have listed the credits below each layout so if you see something you like on there, you can go and grab it!

But first, I must say, this first layout uses a template that my friend Lita created. She's just started to make them and they've been MARVELOUS! So if you like the layout of the layout (lol) let me know...I would love to pass that information on to her!

• Papers - Lazy Daisy by Amanda Heimann
• Template - Litabells Designs
• Embellishments - all from Amy Stoffel - Kits include - Itty Bitty Screwed Flowers, Autumn Garden, Lovin' from the Oven, Hanabi Hart

New Stuff!

Well, it's release day over at Scrap Orchard and I have TWO SUPER CUTE releases to show you!!

This first one is from Amy Stoffel and it's called I AM A ROBOT! You can see all those gears on my boxes and she has some UBER cute robots in that kit too!!


Next up is for the girls in your life!! This kit is called LOVEY-DOVEY and it's a collab between Ziggle Designs & Tracie Stroud. It is SOOO adorable!! Like I already said - VERY girly!!

This one also uses Kelleigh R's Hexagon box templates! I love these templates!! How else would I be able to make such cute boxes!! She's got all sorts of great templates over at the DigiChick, so be sure to check her out!


So be sure to run over to Scrap Orchard and pick them up! You can lose with either of these kits...one of the boys and one for the girls! Can't get much better than that!!

On top of all that cuteness, I have more! lol Ellie Lash is retiring from designing - which makes me VERY sad! I love her designs! But right now, all of her designs are on sale over at Scrapbook Graphics - and CHEAP too!!

I made this layout using her Rugrats Playground kit, which is a collab with Mood Scraps. The template is from Susan Robinson and can be purchased over at Digital Scrap Ink.


And I do have another Ellie Lash layout to show you using NEW TEMPLATES from Studio Hillary, but I have lost it in the external hard drive. As soon as I find it, I will get it on here for you!

Okay - I found it....that wasn't a long wait, was it?!?! lol

This was made using Ellie's Fly Free kit! I love the colors and the elements are just perfect!! Great for those everyday photos...or, in this case, a candid self-portrait taken at a dance!

So be sure to run over to Scrapbook Graphics and check out Hillary's new templates and don't forget about Ellie's stuff - it's on sale and won't be there much longer!!

Miscellaneous

Okay - so no fancy title here! I guess my brain is fried!! So here's stuff that I have created recently, but just didnt' really post in a timely manner! I hope to fix that soon - and when I do, you'll see that project too.

This was a great simple and useful project!! It's made with JM Designs pm Kit. The notebook element was perfect for this note/message stand - I guess you could call it. Made from a self-standing acrylic frame I picked up at Target for $3.99 and you can write on it with dry erase markers, so.....I am 99.9% sure the dry erase markers work on glass as well, if you wanted to do something fancier.



This sweet little box was made using Kelleigh R's Top Heavy box and the Cafe Latte kit which is a collab between Sugarplum Paperie and Tracie Stroud! Both of these items are available at the DigiChick (as is JM Designs pm kit, which is mentioned above!)



I love this layout!! It was made using Hillary's Tilt-A-Whirl template. The kit is Joy to the Fishes by ah! Designs! I love being on Hillary's template team!! I guess you could say it allows me to use my "purchases" for my CT work, instead of just the CT stuff!



That's it for this post!

Working Away....

and my poor blog has been neglected!! I have so much to show you, just not sure where to start, and of course I will try to spread it over a couple of days, so I can get back into routine again!!

And here we go:

This cute little box was done for Studio Ziska!! I was contemplating what project to do for them - as I am still a Guest over there, when the Frameworthy challenge over that the SBG Forum was brought to my attention - Frameworthy is inspired by ART - in this case, the chosen art was ORAGAMI! So what was a Hybrid girl to do? Well, I did an Oragami Box of course! It was a perfect non-layout challenge - seemed like it was made just for me!!

It uses the Studio Ziska Marmalade Skies kit, which is of course availabe at Scrapbook Graphics.


Next up - a couple of layouts - both also for SBG. This first one is my friend Christine on her wedding day - it was for the Natali Play Day last week and uses her All You Need is Love kit. It also uses a Studio Hillary template from her white space #3 collection.


I also have the next layout with my three children - which shows off the SBG Studio Girls Collection for September - Impressions of Change.


And I still have more to show you, but I think that's all for tonight!! Come back soon, I am going to get my blogging act back together soon!

Thanks for stopping by!

Stuffs!

Here are some creations I have done recently, but don't think I have blogged about...and a few announcements that I should have already made but don't think I did - and if I did, and I am repeating myself, please forgive me! LOL

First up - a tumbler! I love making these! They can be done in paper or digital and they're generally pretty quick. This one is made with Shawna Clingerman's Smarty Pants kit, which can be found at Sweet Shoppe Designs - I have just been asked to be a HYBRID ARTIST on her CREATIVE TEAM!!!

This is my first project for her. Here's the tumbler:



And here is the artwork so you can see the full picture at once - it's kind of hard to get photos of the whole tumbler:



Next up is a layout using Flerg's Rough & Tumble Reloaded kit as well as Studio Hillary's template from her White Space #1 Template set. The stitching on this is new from Flerg's - her Crazy Stitches #1 Set - all of which is available at Scrapbook Graphics.


I think I previously announced that I was asked to be part of Studio Hillary's Creative Team, but in case I didn't I figured I would mention it. You might remember the 20 page set I did for her, which is here on the blog if you wanted to take a peek.

If all that wasn't good enough - I have been asked to be part of the STUDIO CREW!!!! This would be the Scrapbook Graphics Site CT!! I am SOOOOO excited!

That is one talented bunch of ladies and I am honored to be among them!!! I will be working on hybrid projects for them and you can catch my post on the blog on the Third Tuesday of every month!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

A Template Book - Part 4

Here they are!! The last five pages of my 20 page 8x8 album using kits from Jady Day Studio, as well as the FANTABULOUS template album from Studio Hillary at Scrapbook Graphics!

I just adore this album and you will actually be seeing a second one (soon I hope!) of my daughter's cheerleading this past year. Actually, you won't be seeing that one until Polka Dot Plum opens it's doors, as that is done in all brand new PDP paper sets!!






I would definitely grab these templates! They're great, easy to use, and easy to customize to your own needs!

A Template Book - Part 3

These are pages 11-15 of the 20 page album I created last week using 20-page 8x8 Template album by Studio Hillary. These templates are GREAT!!! I did previously mention that I have started a second book, but I still can't tell you much about it! lol

Again, everything I used for these pages is from Jady Day Studios and is available at ScrapOrchard.

I think this bottom page is my favorite of the book. Not sure if it's the picture of my kids or the flowered swirls, but either way - I love it! Hope you do too and thanks for stopping by!!

A Template Book - Part 2

Here are the next five pages of my album!! These are pages 6-10 in the 20-page 8x8 Template album by Studio Hillary. I am loving these templates - I have actually started a second book, but I can't tell you much about it...YET! lol

Everything I used for these pages is from Jady Day Studios and is available at ScrapOrchard.







This is TRULY a great album and can be used in SO many different ways! You should definitely pick it up!

Thanks for stopping by....come back to see what else I did last summer! LOL
