Some digi and some hybrid

October 1, 2009 | cristina

This week has been crazy so far, but somehow I’ve managed to squeeze in some scrapping time nonetheless.
Here’s a page I did for the October Inspiration Point at ScrapMatters:

I finally got another page for my birthday done, now I only need to do another page with the yummy cake DH baked for me! 😉
And here’s a pretty luminary for the Dazzling Decor challenge:

I now have to force myself not to scrap anymore until I get the pages for my P365 photobook ready for print: I have an offer for a 60 page book that expires this weekend and I MUST get the pages saved and uploaded! It’s such a boring job and I’ve been putting it off and scrapping new pages instead, because of all the gorgeous new kits at ScrapMatters, but it’s now time to get this done!

This is the first page I do repeating the whole cluster over and over.. it’s a trend I’ve been seeing for some time in the galleries and wanted to try it myself. I quite like it for this page!

Here’s the page I promised I would post yesterday, but didn’t have time to. I love how it turned out! I made it for an Everyday Magic challenge at ScrapMatters, about our collections.

It’s only Tuesday, but I’m way behind with everything already!!! This is certainly one of those days I wished I didn’t have to work and could scrap all day! 😉 (wait, are there any other kind of days?? :-P)

Wow, it’s hard to believe, but yet another weekend has flown by super fast.. This was a quiet but very nice weekend. It was also quite productive from the scrapping point of view – not quantitatively (I scrapped a mere 3 pages), but surely qualitatively, since this page that I did for the scraplift challenge at the DigiChick earnt me another gallery standout! 😉

OK, seriously, I talked DH into going to this air show 2 months ago (well he was all for it of course, since he loves planes, but I brought it up!!) because I had this gorgeous mini hit by Elise’s Pieces Designs, and I finally had some time to scrap with it! It’s really beautiful!
I also did this page last night:

The third page I did was for a challenge that’s about to go live at ScrapMatters, so I’ll post it later. 😉

Mac n Cheese

September 25, 2009 | cristina

Amy Sumrall has teamed up with Valorie Wibbens (the latest addition at the LilyPad!) to create a cheesy, super fun kit, Mac n Cheese:

It’s really a versatile kit and I found it so romantic!! Here’s the page I was inspired to scrap (finally putting some of the hundreds of food pics I shoot to good use! 😉 ):

I have quite a busy day ahead, but I’m really glad it’s Friday!! The weekend is near and I cannot wait to go out and shoot some pictures for my photography class. 🙂
Last night DH and I went to see a Cirque du Soleil show and it was phenomenal!!!!!! Too bad that no pictures are allowed, but I still want to scrap 1 or 2 pages to record the experience. I’ll have to do some searching for what elements to use!

10 Years!

September 24, 2009 | cristina

As you may know if you’re a regular reader of this blog, a little over a month ago DH and I celebrated out 10th dating anniversary. For the occasion, I worked on a little hybrid project and I can finally share it here, now that it’s posted as a tutorial on the ScrapMatters blog too! 😉

10 years is quite a long time, and I thought it would be neat to create a mini album with a page for each year we spent together. I tried to get a picture taken in summer, around our anniversary date, but I have to tell you, some years it was hard to find a picture of the two of us together at all! Luckily, this will never happen again, because since I started scrapbooking I’ve always made sure to take plenty of pictures of us. 😉

Anyway, here’s my little album: it’s tiny and it turned out very pretty! 😀

I kept the pages very simple: most of the space is taken up by our picture, plus I added a date stamp that bears the year and the anniversary number.
