A couple of weeks ago I shared the beginnings of my current hybrid scrapbooking project, Playing with Scissors, Paper & a Printer. This is a hybrid album that I am creating to document my hiking adventures. It is certainly a work in progress as my time is limited, but I sure love the process.Over the past week, I was able to create a few more pages to add to my album and I'd love to share them with you. These are from a recent backpacking trek on the Northiville-Placid Trail in upstate New York. This was a 3 night/4 day trek, in which I took over 800 photos! It is hard to cull them down and that seems to be the hardest part of my documenting. I pulled out a few favorites so I was able to get the 1st day/night scrapped for my album. At the beginning of my project I printed out a large amount of papers, embellishments and journal cards so that I could easily create new … [Read more...]
Quick Halloween Treat Bags
There is always that unexpected thing that comes up with holidays. A party, a gift exchange, etc. Halloween isn't an exception! This is a quick idea for some make ahead treat bags to keep on hand for those little (or big) goblins. These are also cute for your co-workers!These are super quick to make and you can even have the kiddos help fill bags. I "may" have snacked a little while filling these!Start by creating your printable in PS, or your program of choice. I can do quite a few, because I have a wide format printer, but these will work on a regular sized printer no problem! I used a sheet of pattern paper, created some white boxes on top and then filled the boxes with elements from Allison Pennington's Little Monsters for these. Such a cute kit!After you get your printable printed out (ha ha!) then trim down each tag. I actually made these too big, I would have … [Read more...]
Hybrid Watercolor-Use Your Digital Kits
Hey hey! It's katrinahunt13 back on the blog today to share a fun thing I did for my post today. I recently decided that I was going to learn to watercolor. Well, I haven't quite learned yet, but have been practicing.I also thought you had to be able to draw, turns out you don't! I didn't know that people traced things to watercolor, which is where this post is going!There are TONS of fun digital kits that have wonderful items that you could watercolor. It just takes a few minutes to trace onto watercolor paper and you can paint the image! NOTE: These would be for personal use only, unless you talk to the designer or have bought a commercial use product. I would still talk to the designer, even if it was commercial use just to cover bases. So here is what I did for today's post. Now, it's not going in the Smithsonian or any famous art museum, but it's takes … [Read more...]

And here is hers! … [Read more...]
