Using digital elements on your layouts

Hello ladies. Nicole here with a few fun layouts. For my first layout I decided to go hybrid again. I love the Happy Travels digital collection; it's one of my all time favorite collections. After I completed the layout, I found it funny how much it looks like a fall layout, but it's really a summer layout :) This was a super quick and easy layout. I simply printed all of the digital whatnots and labels on plain cardstock, printed them out and cut them to use as my background papers.

Supplies: Glitz Design: "Happy Travels" digital elements American Crafts: Cardstock American Crafts: Foam Alphas Zva Creative: Flower Zva Creative: Jewels Jenni Bowlin: Butterfly Punch Creative Memories: Corner rounder Gluedots: Adhesives Creative Memories: Pen/Adhesives And here is another layout where I used digital elements from the Happy Travels digital collection. I printed the transparancy swirl onto a letter  sized cardstock and used it as my base!  I am so impressed with the quality of my printer. You can hardly tell the difference from regular paper vs. digital.

Going hybrid

Hello ladies. Nicole here with a few hybrid layouts! I wanted to step out of my comfort zone a little bit this month so I decided to dabble a bit with elements from Glitz Designs digital kits! While scrapping, I decided that it was quite fun and so easy! I simply printed some digital elements on white cardstock and cut them out with scissors.

I love them both and hope that you are inspired to try Glitz Designs digital kits!

Just a simple mini

This year, why not try and give a meaningful gift such as a mini album? Not only does a mini album make a great gift, it also can be appreciated by your loved ones because you took the time to make something from the heart! I usually give minis as Christmas gifts and this was a mini I gave to my grand-parents. I'm determine to do something different this year... maybe during the year I will learn to just do the minis throughout the year so I don't end up creating 5 mini albums in one month... Yep that's what I did during the first 3 weeks of December :) but it was well worth it.

Having said this, I wanted to take the time to share this album with you because you do not have to do a lot to make a mini album look attractive!

As you are creating your mini, don't forget about those fabulous tools you have on hand to help fill in spaces. Sometimes, a button is all you really need!







If you do decide to create a mini, Scrapbook Adhesive makes some fabulous adhesives to help speed your project along! Their Adhesive Sheets are great for adhering sheets of pattern paper onto your chipboard covers and their tape runner is great for holding down your paper embellishments or for adhering photos back to back throughout your mini album.



Patterned papers: Chipboard: Stickers: Crate Paper, Flowers: Zva Creative, Crystals: Pearls: Zva Creative, Ribbon: Webster's Pages, Metal Charm: Epiphany Crafts, Epoxy sticker: Epiphany Crafts, Stickpin: Bad Girls Kit Club, Button tool round 14: Epiphany Crafts, Circle tool round 14: Epiphany Crafts, Heart punch: Creative Memories, Adhesive Sheets: Tape runner: Scrapbook Adhesives, Glimmer Mist: Chalkboard Mist: Tattered Angels.

I hope you're having a fabulous day and please come back!
