Hey there! It's Katrina, aka katrinahunt13, hanging with you on the blog today. And I have a fun tip for all you hybrid (or want to be, you know you want to!) scrapbookers. We all love to customize things and my post is about customizing your own grid paper!As soon as I saw this kit by Scrapping with Liz in the store, I KNEW I exactly what I wanted to do with it. There are SO many possibilities with this for hybrid scrappers, it's crazy! The Planner Grids kit can be found HERE in the store. At first glance this kit looked like it was for all the planner people, which it's great for them! BUT I love a good grid paper to traditional scrapbook with, but currently that type of paper is hard to find. But now, I can create my own AND in whatever color I want! And I am going to show you how.I used the dots grid for my tutorial today. I love some good polka dot paper! Open … [Read more...]
Pick A Kit For Hybrid
Hey there! It's Katrina, aka katrinahunt13 from the forums sharing a hybrid layout with you today. I thought I would ask the creative hive of minds over on the Scrapping Pad Forum what kit they would like to see worked up into a hybrid layout. I had four people answer and all the kits were great choices and ones that I had considered before I posted the question!And here is what I ended up creating and what I created with!!! It is Just Jaimee's Like A Boss Storyteller Add-On for May. There were two pad peeps that picked the kit, Jan (IntenseMagic) and Jennifer (LittleKiwi). Although, Jennifer listed a different kit, but she was going to say this one, so it counts as a vote!The kit worked out perfectly for scrapping about something I have been working on, my own YouTube channel for paper and hybrid scrapping! I have been so scared to even attempt doing a video, but … [Read more...]

You Don’t Need Fancy Equipment for Hybrid!!
Hey pad fans! It's Katrina, aka katrinahunt13, today to talk to you about hybrid. Now, I know some of you digital gurus are set on your digital layouts and not playing with paper! This post is for those that maybe switched to digital scrapping from paper scrapping, maybe you want to sniff some glue (I don't judge!), or it could be you just need to feel the paper and create with it. This post is for you. You don't need a wide format printer! Nope, you can do 8.5 x 11 or 12 x 12 without that wide format printer that I use all the time! For the layout I am sharing today, I actually used scraps that I had left over from a previous layout. I printed the Becca Bonneville "Friends Across the Miles" mini kit for another layout that I wanted to do. So, I cut some cardstock down to 8.5 x 11 and used that as my starting point. My printer will print borderless, but I know … [Read more...]
Moving From Traditional to Hybrid
It's the hybrid girl, aka Katrina aka kathunt13 here and I am going to talk about moving from traditional scrapbooking to hybrid scrapbooking. I don't think I will ever go all the way to digital, I just like to play with "stuff" too much! LOL And let's face it, sometimes Photoshop can stress me out! And working on a computer all day at work makes me want to take a break and get away from screen time.Recently we decided that I need to get my scrapping/crafting out of the living room and into it's own space. Yay me!! Our house isn't big, so this is amazing that i get to do this. I knew if I was going to do a table it needed to include storage. Just for the simple reason that I was going to lose how I was storing (or not storing) my supplies for a table. I googled, pinterested, and browsed Ikea's website. I found some table ideas, with storage underneath and proceeded from … [Read more...]
Hybrid Shaker Card
Hey there, it's Katrina sharing a hybrid shaker card with you today. This is a fun way to put some "wow" into your cards. It does take a little work and practice, but it's a good way to put those traditional supplies that you may still have (or want to shop for!) to good use!I used a collab kit from Little Butterfly Wings/Studio Basic for my card. It's the Carpe Diem bundle and I am IN LOVE with this collection! I have already done this card, plus another hybrid layout with it!I am going to take you thru a few of the steps of making this. First you need to cut out a shape on your card front/base. I attached my pattern paper and then cut out the opening with some metal dies and a manual die cutting machine. You could also do this with your electronic machine, but I was just playing around and experimenting!Next, you need to cover your opening with a piece of … [Read more...]
