Hybrid Challenge at Method Playground

My uber talented friend, Karen Bowers, is hosting a challenge over at Method Playground. It is a double challenge. Go on over and download the sampler provided by Scrapbook-Graphics, then join us.

1. Challenge for digital scrappers to try their hand at hybrid scrapping.

2. Challenge for paper scrappers to try their hand at digital scrapping.

Obviously, if you know me, you know that I am a die-hard digital scrapper, BUT wanted to give it a try and I might add, I enjoyed myself immensely.

I created my layout in Photoshop, printed it on matted paper and embellished with paper flowers. I am quite pleased. After all, it is my 2nd hybrid project. I love, love, love those tiny brads! :)

This is the cover of my Valerie Purse album that I made for my 7 year old daughter. She loves it. I will be posting all the details of the project in my next post.

Scraplift Challenge - A Grandson's Love

My layout for the scraplift challenge at Scrapbook-Graphics. Inspired by Elizabeth's layout titled Jason. http://www.scrapbookgraphics.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=31564

Kit used: Denim Blues by Flergs here at Scrapbook=Graphics.

Font: Antique Type.

Frame and flower border are freebies from Flerg's April newsletter.

Rustic Charm

Can you believe that I had to take 4 pictures and merge them to get this panoramic view photo of the farm? I love how it turned out though. Layout done for scraplift chall. at Scrapbook-Graphics.
I don't know when my fascination with barns, farms and shacks began. I guess that I equate them with a simpler way of life. Life nowadays is so fast and complicated that I long for simplicity.
