A Hybrid project, some layouts and ADSR Catch-Up

So, I am now on the CT for The Hybrid Kid, a new site that features hybrid projects for you do do with or for your kids that are learning based.  It is such a cool site and neat, neat projects.  I am very excited to be a part of it!  Here is the first project I did...available now at The Hybrid Kid.  It's a badge album with letter cards for each letter and some sight words.  All you have to do is print the cards, insert them into badge holders (I got mine at Wal-Mart for next to nothing!), bind them together with rings (like the kind for attaching flash cards together) and embellish with ribbons if you like.  Then, the kids can write on the plastic badges to practice their letters and then wipe it off to write again and again!  The write-on wipe-off crayons or markers work well.  Pretty cool huh?

And here are some layouts I have been working on...

These are using Franzika Altmann's products at Scrapbook Graphics:

This one uses Franziska Altmann's Efflorescence:

This one uses Franziska's Snowberry:

And these are from Pamela Donnis at Elemental Scraps:

This one uses her kit Box of 64.  Aren't her kits adorable?

This one uses her kit Garden Charm.  And she has an add-on available for doing a challenge at ES called "Inspired By".  Check it out here.  This was my entry.

And here are my layouts for the 1st 4 ADSR challenges..all credits can be found in my ADSR gallery.  It's been fun and challeging so far...some new and different challenges than usual which is good, keeps in exciting!  Three use Mandy Mystiques' products and 1 uses Franziska Altmann's products.

And that's it for me tonight...I finally feel caught up in the scrap world...I really got bogged down for a while, but I am afloat once again!

Good night!

P365 Catch Up

We were officially a week behind on posting our P365 pics until tonight...but I caught us up on the P365 blog AND even got my LO done for week 3, so I am officially P365 caught up, yay! Here are the last 3 weeks of P365 for me...

Seems to be rolling right along and I am liking how the pages are turning out now that I am in a groove, at first I struggled with not embellishing the pages so much.  But the plainer pages are growing on me now, they certainly go together quicker.

I'll be back later with my ADSR catch up...have a good night!

~Are you a Sweetie?~

Look at this!!  Super short call girls, so if you are interested, get your email in ASAP!  I am on this team, great group of designers and Sweeties!  Fun gallery to comment in and...oh yeah, have you SEEN their collabs?  TO DIE FOR!  As always!  Here's the info!

~Some scrap work~

Remember I said that I did my first ADSR LO wrong and had to re-do it?  Well, I did!  And here it is:

(Credits)

I think it turned out really cute and I am proud of the tearing, I didn't use templates, but I did use an action, so it's semi-homemade, LOL!

And this I did with Franziska Altmann's Efflorescence, a gorgeous kit, of course all her kits are gorgeous!  You can find it in her SBG store.  I really like how this turned out!  I did it for an inked edge challenge at Scrap Matters, their Saturday Special this week.  I need to work in more techniques like this and stretch my skill base.  It was really fun!

(Credits)

So, that's it for now...I have two more layouts in the works...I never do two at once, but they were both waiting on something, LOL.  Off to do a Girl Scout email and then get Alex off the bus and then the whol HW, dinner, chores routine starts and then Bunco tonight!

Have a great Hump Day!
