Many traditional and digital scrapbookers would like to try hybrid but don’t know how to get started.  This week we’re going to show you how to do a simple page using easy directions written by Jessica Sprague and taken from her latest book, “Computer Tricks for Scrapbooking 2.”

This challenge will show you how to create a photo block that includes space for patterned paper.  Now if you’re a solely digital scrapbooker, it will show you how to perfectly size your photos and incorporate patterned papers.  If you’d like to try hybrid, it will teach you how to leave space for traditional papers (remember,you can print your digital papers without spending an additional dime).

Here’s our inspiration layout created by Jessica:

Next, here’s a wonderful summer page that Sara Horton created (using all digital paper but using foam dots for some additional dimension) In the inset photo, you can see the effect:

Come check out the challenge on the IdeaBooks4u blog, then create your own page and post it in the IdeaBooks4u Inspiration Gallery at Designer Digitals. 

Have a great week!
