Freebie for Ya!

Okay, so I decided to do the "So You Think You Can Design" contest at ScrapOrchard, and thought I'd post a download link here for anyone that wants it!

As always, if you use it...I would love to see what you do with it! Heck, I'd love to see what I do with it, but that will have to come later!

I'll be back tomorrow with lots of yummy new hybrid goodies from TheDigiChick.com!!

Here's a preview of my "mini" Down Home.

New Hybrid Project

I was so excited about this project! My MIL got my kids started playing YAHTZEE a while back. I started looking at it and thought, that's just dice and score sheets - so I made one!

I used an empty canister (I have tons of them, they are from "shakes" that we drink in the morning, so we go through tons and I hate to throw them away!), created a layout to fit the front of the canister (for my game I used The Party Animal from Faith True and the Grateful4U Collab from many designers in the digi scrap world - thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) I printed my layout onto "sticker" paper and adhered to canister and then spray sealed. I found both instructions and score sheets for the game, I reduced both to fit inside my canister and chopped pencils in half to keep with the game also. I found dice for $1 at Dollar Tree - SCORE - and also bought the little kid snack cups with lids there! That's it...so I spent less than 5 bucks for a game that we'll use over and over AND it's very portable. I also thought, this type of canister would be great for a "beauty kit" for someone's birthday, or art supplies for a little one...what are your ideas? Show me...link me up to your gallery!

Hybrid 101

OKAY! Today starts my weekly "Hybrid 101" series. These are just ideas to get you thinking HYBRID! I'll have templates, tips, projects and freebies...so check back every week to get your hybrid groove on! :)

To get us started, I've got a pillow box template for ya! This is not my own, unique idea, but here is a template I created for you to use.


Just right click on the image and save the file to your computer. Insert it into a new document in your photo editing software, size it to your preference and use your magic wand to delete all the white. In photoshop, I put the template on top of my background paper and change the blending mode to overlay so the template is less visible on my finished project.

Here is one I made using ChrisGeiser's Ella's Kerchief available exclusively at the Shaker Box.


If you use my template, or have your own, go make a pillow box, upload it to your fave gallery and come back and comment with a link to your creations - I can't wait to see them!
