Hybrid Digital Kits

I have been receiving the Club Scrap Digital collections for years.  Until this month, I have never printed them out and use them for cards or layouts.  I've always used the collections for digital creations. 

The process is so easy! Just print out the Shibori Hybrid sheets, no software needed. The images line up so that trimming is simple. Here's a few cards I created using my own cardstock and the hybrid images.

The NYLO

While working the Irving, Texas Scrapbook Expo we stayed at the NYLO Hotel.  This is probably one of the coolest hotels I've stayed in.  Everything is so modern and industrialized.  The walls and floors are cement. The open piping in the ceilings, the fixtures, right down to the plumbing were contemporary. The first thing I thought was how the recently released Steamworks collection would be perfect with these photos.

Repeat Stamping

April's NBUS Challenge (Never before used stuff) over at Club Scrap is to create a pattern by stamping repeatedly.  I'm not very efficient at stamping in a row without looking like I've been drinking. I do have a new way for my repeated stamping to look "artsy".

 

I smear distress oxide ink on a craft mat and add water.  I use this as my "stamp pad". Ink up your stamp and then stamp on paper.  This gives your project a watercolor effect. No more stressing about wayward stamping.

Spring

Club Scrap is featuring their Daffodils collection with a Blog Hop and Linky Party.  This collection is bright, happy and just screams "spring".

Days after this collection was released my family and I visited the botanical gardens at the Bellagio in Las Vegas.  I don't have photos printed up yet, so I thought I'd share a digital two page layout.

Lucky

I was so blessed to spend some time with my brother and his family while he had a conference in Vegas. It's incredible to see the world through the eyes of a 3 year old. She is fearless and loved every ride that went fast or high in the air.

Chalk Paint Backgrounds

I was looking for a creative way to use my chalk paints.  One of my friends posted a link to a video demonstrating how to use the chalks paints to create backgrounds.  This works perfect for the chalk paints since they dry so fast.

 

Start with just a small amount of paint on a craft sheet and coat your brayer.

Apply paint to your white background sheet.  This dries super fast.  Keep adding colors until you're happy with the background.

Allow to completely dry and then cut into panels.
