Hello everyone, Lisa Pate here. A few weeks ago Laura posted a layout that became an instant favorite of mine. This week I decided to use it as my inspiration for a hybrid project.

The process is simple.  Print your images onto cardstock, cut them to size, and then place them in a frame. This is by far one of my favorite projects to date. I love that this project is personal and can be easily modified as needed in the future. As always we enjoy seeing what you create in the Hybrid Gallery.

Supplies:
Katie Pertiet’s Fifty States Brushes and Stamps MegaPak

Andrea Victoria’s Salamat Paper Pack

Ali Edwards’s Little Bit Of Messy Home Brushes and Stamps

Like most of the world, I’ve been inspired by many different things on Pinterest. Here’s my interpretation of a piece I found there, recording the most important dates for my family. I created an 8x10 canvas and used Katie’s new Lots of Love paper pack for the background. I think this would look really great printed on canvas but I just printed this on photo paper at home and framed it.

Why don’t you try creating some decor for your home using your digital supplies!

I saw this fun Post-It-Note holder on Pinterest and thought it was a great little project.  I bought a cheap 5x7 plastic frame at the dollar store.  Then I took one of my favorite scrapbook pages Scrapbook Page
and shrunk the background down to fit the frame, had it printed, and slipped it into the frame.  Next I added the tag and the Post-It-Notes and that was all there was to it. Hopefully, in 2012 our family will do a little bit better at writing down messages for each other.  Hope all of you have a wonderful New Year’s Celebration!  Janet

Christmas is almost upon us as usual I’ve been on the lookout for quick and easy gift and decor ideas. For this project I bought a pair of napkins from the dollar store ($1!) and embellished them with some digital elements:

I imported Ali’s Christmas Boxes Brushes and Stamps and Katie’s Christmas Silhouettes Brushes and Stamps No. 01
into my Silhouette SD and cut them the shapes our using Heat Transfer material. I then ironed the shapes onto my napkins. I thought they would be nice to include with some cookies or quick-bread neighbor gifts!

With the holiday season upon us I’ve been trying to think of different ways to personalize gifts. This week I turned to glass etching.

The supplies needed for this project are: a design cut out of vinyl, Armour Etch, paint brush, and a glass mug. After adhering the design to your mug follow the directions on the Armour Etch. I went outside to apply mine and then let it rest for five minutes. Like magic after I washed the mug, all that was left was a perfectly etched design. I love the mug so much I’ve been thinking of other fun things to etch. How fun would monogrammed ornaments be? I hope you have fun creating gifts this holiday season with your digital supplies. As always we love to see your hybrid projects in the Hybird Gallery. Happy creating! Lisa Pate
