I cannot believe that August is already half gone. I have to say I have been really enjoying the cooler summer this year and wish we had more of it. I hope we’re in for a nice fall.

I love the new collection by Digital Design Essentials! And it’s such a steal at $5.99!

The theme is babies, but it’s such a versatile collection! I used it for two cards.

These are very simple one layer cards, printed on matte photo paper.
Here’s a closer look at each card.

Hybrid Tip!

I picked up a tip on instagram and I feel it will be a game changer for my Project Life. I tend to rarely include hybrid cards in my album because I don’t want to bother filling up a full 11×8.5 sheet of paper to print out.. So using a 6×4 sheet of paper is the perfect solution! Granted, it’s more expensive per journaling card than the larger paper, but totally worth it for me if it gets me to print more!
What brand of photo paper do I use? I go with Canon – I find it has excellent value. I use glossy 4×6 for photos, and matte 8.5×11 for hybrid projects. And now I will also use the matte 6×4 for Project Life cards.

April Already?

I just love how it turned out! It also was scrap therapy for me, since I scrapped it at the low point of an awful week. I just love this hobby/creative outlet!

Not much time for crafting this weekend, but in addition to working on my Project Life album (feels good to be only 3 weeks behind!) I scrapped a page with the new goodies by Digital Design Essentials. I skipped the pink that is in the kit and stuck to white, black and gold for this page. 🙂
