Pattern-Palooza
Happy Wednesday everyone! It is time for another awesome SOSN (Something Old, Something New) 50% off sale - and I am dropping in to share with you some of my favorite ways to work with those amazing patterned papers you find in digital scrapbooking kits. (BTW - all of my sample LO's were made with kits available in today's SOSN sale. Click on layouts for full credits and links to the store.) Do you love those gorgeous digital pattern papers, but find it difficult to work them into your pages? I admit, I am a huge fan of working with white (or almost white) backgrounds. I love how the elements and words just pop right off a white background, but sometimes I also find pattern papers that are simply too awesome to resist. The trick when using pattern papers as your background is to carve out some "clear" space around your design so that it pops off the page, … [Read more...]

Happy Pi Day!!!What's Pi Day, you ask? Well..."Pi", denoted by the Greek letter “π”, has been part of human knowledge for a very long time, but it wasn’t until 1988 that physicist Larry Shaw organized what is now recognized as the first “Pi Day” celebration at the San Francisco Exploratorium science museum. Shaw chose March 14, or 3.14 — the first three digits of pi — as Pi Day. Pi Day is still celebrated by lovers of mathematics around the world.

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...]
