Cheryl (username gonewiththewind) has an awesome challenge in the forum, HERE.Finding me in 2023 encourages you to create an album all about you, by making a cover and first page this month.I used the freebie template from Fiddle Dee Dee Designs, and some stash items to create my cover page.

Throwback Thursday | Old to New
Hi friends. I'm here with a fun throwback Thursday post this week. MOC is going on in the forum right now and each day brings a new challenge. MOC Day 4 asked us to re-scrap an old layout of ours and if you haven't completed that one yet, then this post may be helpful right now.Of course, there are many reasons to re-do or revisit an older layout. Maybe your overall scrap style has changed and this would allow you to create the older layouts in your new style. Maybe there's some new products that fit the theme, mood, or photo more than when you first scrapped it (hello fellow digi-stash hoarders like myself lol). And then, maybe you just weren't quite happy with the old layout and re-doing it is the only thing that will ease your feeling you get when you look at it. (again, I'm raising my hand, lol)I went through my gallery here and found a super old layout that at the time I … [Read more...]

Some would say hybrid is where the best of the digital world meets the best of the paper world. As you can tell from the gallery, the hybrid approach can be used in card making, scrapbooking, planning, journaling, and many craft and/or DIY type projects … [Read more...]
