Hybrid Scrapbooking - Vintage Paris Journal Part II

As promised I wanted to share another great source that I used on my Vintage Paris Journal.





The pretty digital collaged Tag on the right is from Bluebirdlane

She has a lovely shop and she loves Paris and vintage. She makes the most exquisite tags. Her first tags were very simple, basically scanned images printed on cardstock. Recently, she is getting more and more sophisticated and is creating some gorgeous artwork. Be sure to take a peek at all her goodies. :)

Enjoy!!

Hybrid Scrapbooking: Vintage Paris Journal - Part 1

I will share in this post and the next ones the Vintage Paris inspired Journal I made for a dear friend.

This was a new project for me and I had a blast creating it. For the first time ever, I had a hard time parting with a treasured creation. Don't worry, Marina, your journal was shipped today! :)

So anyway, here is the first photo of it.



The book was created with Brushes (digital stamps). In my Photoshop CS3 I created the front and back covers. I chose the colors and using the stamps I created the paper you see stamping the background and the images in red.

Here is the back cover.


Make sure you click on the images to enlarge them and see the details.

I used the same set of Photoshop brushes to create the journal pages on the inside.






YOu can find these Brushes for sale HERE. They were created by The Graphic Mime and I was so inspired by her work as many other digital artists that Digital Scrapbooking has definitely arrested my heart. :)

Come back tomorrow and I will share more details about the front cover and all those pretty images showcased there.

Would love to hear your comments. How has been your digital experience?

TFL!!

Vintage PAris Hybrid Scrapbooking Project

Marina asked me to create her a Journal. She loves vintage and the Paris theme also. So I used a mix of Digital stamps and created a very cool journal. Here is a sneak peek.



I have come to realize that I am a Hybrid Scrapbooker. Come back later this week to see the whole project and I will share some of the resources I used to make this journal.

If you are a hybrid scrapbooker or card maker, what have you been making lately? Or if you are an experienced one, what was your very first project?

Love to hear from you,

Tereza :)

Fabulous Custom Made Bridesmaids' Cards!!

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to share the fabulous custom orders finished and delivered last week.






The next photos are from another custom order. Not only the bride personalized the cards with her friends' names but she went all out showcasing their personalities.

To the friend that is an animal print and beach lover we created this card:




For the friend that loves to pamper herself and damask patterns we created this one:



The ones below are for her flower girls. Aren't they sweet?



I also just finished a Vintage Paris inspired journal and I will be sharing the photos later on tonight or tomorrow. I have 4 more orders to finish up this coming week. As well as our Income Tax...are you busy doing yours too?? :)

Have a great week. :)

I am hooked!!

I was at Scrapbook News and Review Website yesterday briefly and I voted on their Poll on what type of Scrapbooking are you. The options were Traditional, Hybrid, Digital and All the above. Well, I voted "all the above".

I found out that it is only second place to traditional. That means that more and more people are finding out about the digital world but not willing to let go of the traditional. So, we end up doing all 3!!

I can say I am completely hooked. I can also say that I am addicted to challenges, so I jump from one to the next. About a year and half ago I didn't own ONE single stamp. Not one rubber stamp or acrylic one. Now, not only do I owe dozens of acrylic and rubber stamps, I just found out digital stamps!!!! They are called Brushes and they are way too coooool!! :)

Take a look at some of the things I created today just playing around!!!







So the first one is a 8x8 digital layout. The second picture is actually a pattern paper that I made using the brushes and then I punched some scalloped tags out of it. And the last one is one of my card turn tag or bookmark that I sell in my Etsy shop. They are 5.5 x 3.3" and are blank on the back. So you can use as a card and write your message and send it. The recipient can use it as a bookmark instead of throwing it away.

Here are a few more digital collages that I made this past week.






I know I have been using this acqua satin ribbon everywhere, but I am hooked on it too!! LOL

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!!

Pear and Plum Color Scheme for Wedding or Bridesmaids Cards

Hi everyone,

I had a customer this past week that requested a design using pear and plum color scheme. So I went to town and created a few designs. I wish I had more time and I would probably have made 4 more. I used hydrangeas to complement the look of the cards, played around with different green ribbons and even added some ruffles to one of the cards. For some of the flower techniques I used, please go HERE.







Can you guess which one she picked?

Have a great weekend...

PS the baby guest book sold withing 48hs that I listed on Etsy. I am at the moment working on another one. :)

Vintage Chipboard Baby Shower Guest Book

I just can't thrown scraps away...paper, left over ribbon, stickers, embellies...anything. I have a hard time throwing anything away. There is soup every week in my house. LOL :) That's another post in my other blog. :)

anyway, I used some of my left over Acid Free white cardstock and some gorgeous vintage papers and created this soooo cute book. At first, my idea was to provide a place for a new Mom to write down things about her Baby Girl.

How many of you that have children can remember when they began teething, when did they first smiled, or said Ma-ma? I always ask Grandmothers what did they do in certain situations when their children were little, or how did they children behave or what happened when... and they can't remember. So, the idea was to provide a cute little notebook that the Mom could write down those special little things that happen, and because the papers are Acid Free if she wanted to she could turn it into a Scrapbook and add photos. The book is perfect for wallet size pictures.

But then again, it could also be used as a sign in Guest book at a Baby shower. All your friends and ladies could write their advice and blessings down during the event.

The book measures 3.5" x 6.5". The actual white pages measure 2.5"x 5.5". I have added layers of embellishments, ruffles, stitching and stamping. Each page has been hand stamped and makes a gorgeous one of a kind vintage style keepsake. Both front and back covers are made of chipboard for a sturdy finish.

Here are the photos.





Here are some more photos of how the book is held together and the stamping on the pages.




The book is for sale in my Etsy shop. Enjoy and God bless, :)
