... that's 'hybrid' - apparently and that's what I've been practicing in my scrapping - a whole 'lucky' 7 (yes 'seven LOL) paper layouts on this update - dunno what came over me :) Also advertising my new alpha/ character set 'TYPE CAST' available tomorrow - Wednesday 26th March - it's one of those alpha's you can use again and again on digital creations and also easily printed and cut out to go on a paper (or hybrid) layout. Also printed out flowers from 'Hearts and Flowers' and a leaf and hinge from 'Fresh'.
Another page on the same hybrid theme - printed out alpha, flowers, leaves, torn paper and hinge from my kit elements... a torn fabric strip and a few die-cuts. Love this 'moody' image of St Pauls Cathedral - architecture is amazing, as are views from the top looking over the city.
'TYPE CAST' alpa on a digital layout :) We had snow over the weekend - not alot, but enough to get some great pics of the white stuff. Carly took this pic of us with my Mum at the zoo - it was the best day to be walking around there - very quiet (funnily enough) and extremely cold (we took a picnic too!), but we had the best chilled out and relaxing day. Other kits used: A Grand Day Out, Fresh, A Little Sunshine, Chipboard Crazy and English Heritage.
Our team held a 'fan blinkie' contest at DST ... the designs were amazing, but we could only choose one winner and the honour goes to Melanie (Melli_777) for the gorgeous little 'flashing' creation - check out the top sidebar blinkie under heading 'Great Stuff' and GRAB ONE FOR YOURSELF... Thanks Melanie :)
One of my favourite pics of Carly from the weekend :) Kits used: Hearts and Flowers (black and white), Art Explosion, A Grand Day Out, Fresh, Cartoon Capers, Dear Santa, A Little Sunshine, Midnight Diamonds. Fonts: LD Slap Happy and LD Slash Serif.
Carly took this picture of the O2 (Millennium Dome as was known). Had fun with this one - most of the paper and elements are from my contribution to the TTS April megakit and some extra's too - including brushes. Thanks to Atomic Cupcake for use of some of their actions :)
New kit alert.......... MIDNIGHT DIAMONDS is in the stores at NDISB, Treasures to Scrap and ScrapScandiStyle (links at the top of my side-bar to the right). This kit oozes with great stuff, including: 2 complete alphabet/number and character sets, 7 12x12 papers, paper tears, doodles, frames, beads, word-art, acrylic shapes, bling ... hoards of goodies.
Want to win 'Midnight Diamonds' kit? ... leave a comment on this blog entry by Monday 31st March and 4 winners will be chosen - that's all there is to it - GOOD LUCK!
Another great quote I found on a Google search ... and a rare pic of moi. Page created using MIDNIGHT DIAMONDS kit in the main, and clock face and hands from 'New Beginnings'.
Here's Steve - our very own baby dinosaur, he's growing like a weed and is as gorgeous as ever :) Armpits, shoulders and inside bra (anybody's bra) are his favourite places to snuggle up! Page created using paper and elements from MIDNIGHT DIAMONDS.
Another hybrid page ... I prnted out the blue patterned paper, flowers, frame, hinge and tag - onto white card and cut everything out (very therapeutic!) and printed the leaves and bling (from Midnight Diamonds) onto transparency. Kits used; Midnight Diamonds, Hearts and Flowers, Fresh. Added some charms, bling brads, rub-ons, ceramic button and pages torn from an old filofax.
Another Carly photo - she's getting pretty nifty with the camera and has a good eye :) Page started at our crop and finished with a few machine stitches at home. This green reptile paper had been in my stash for months - just waiting for the right photo!
Another hybrid layout - taken by Jaqueline at SCRAPPENdoejezo in Ede, Holland last month. This was the doodle workshop gang - we all got into a fantastic mess LOL ... and I finally got to meet Brigitte, so excited to meet at last :) I used one of those plastic template thingies to cut the glitter card. Leaves, notepaper and hinge are printed from my digital kits.
Hybrid again - started at our crop and I got stuck and finished at home LOL. Flowers, Leaves, frame and tag printed from my digital kits onto white card ad cut out. Hot-glue drizzled onto a piece of glass and peeled off - attached here with glue. Image taken at Universal in Hollywood - one of the better images of Hollywood! :)
Finally got round to scrapping this photo - girls from our workshop in Ede August 07 - it was alot of fun to meet you ladies and to meet some of you again in February :)
New Luisa Leandro Alpha 'SKETCH-IT' - available at the Sophia Sarducci store ... uppercase and lowercase alpha's, numbers and 18 symbols. I also included full sheets of characters for those of you who prefer to work with alpha's this way.
Hells bells..... another one of moi, wrinkles and all! Created to advertised 'SKETCH-IT' Alpha. Kits also used: Hearts and Flowers, Midnight Diamonds, A Delicate Touch, A Little Sunshine, Chocolate Sensation.
BLOG WINNERS (from previous blog entry) - the response was tremendous, so I extended it to 6 winners ... OF KIT 'FRESH... drum roll...
CONGRATULATIONS TO:
Melissa Ernst
