Monday Highlight: Quarterly Assortment Vol. 2

Published by Sula H.

Ok. To be honest, I should be putting my nose into my books, and studying. But since I’m just too tired for that right now, and not even remembering half of what I’m reading, I decided to take care of the Monday Highlight instead. After all, I have something fun to share with you again – the SSD Quarterly Assortment. If you are a routine scrapper, you probably don’t care much about the QA, but even with my own rather large digi-stash, I have to admit: I still love the SSD QAs. Not only do you get a whole lot of papers and ellies for your money, but what I love is that this year the designers decided to collaborate on their contributions, which means: Instead of a random collection of various mini-kits (which are still a great resource for hybrid cards, etc.), you get products that amount to 4-5 full size kits, plus templates, plus a font. A great deal, as far as I’m concerned! Anyways, I played with some of the latest QA, …

Dragon Boat Festival

Published by Sula H.

It’s another holiday in China today: Dragon Boat Festival. For the average Chinese (at least where I’m at), it means today everyone has to eat “Zongzi.” That’s some sort of rice (pudding) enriched with dates, or peanuts, or red beans, or meat, etc. and all of this is neatly wrapped into bamboo leaves. For our school, Dragon Boat Festival means, another day without class. So, a lot of students are gone for a long weekend, either home, or to visit their friends. For me, Dragon Boat Festival meant I had an extra chance to play tennis, since there are no classes today at the tennis court. Well then, happy Dragon Boat Festival, everyone!

Freebie Friday: Fishing

Published by Sula H.

Whaa! I haven’t been able to keep up blogging, recently. Too much on my plate! But I still wanted to get you another template today. It’s based on one of my recent pages “Gone Fishing,” and what’s special about this one is that it comes with three clipping masks that will help you blend your papers. You can blend papers, or you can simply delete the clipping masks and do your normal scrapping as usual. If you don’t know how to use the clipping masks to their full potential, I’ll try to get you a tutorial about this by next Tuesday (fingers crossed)! Anyways, I’m hoping you’ll enjoy this template, and as always: Happy Friday, scrappers!

Hybrid Hub: Card No. 9 – Thank You

Published by Sula H.

Today’s hybrid project is another thank-you card. One of my older hybrid cards that I created last year. For this one, I use “Sunshine of My Life” by Susan Bartolini. The majority of the sentiment was “stamped,” using Darcy Baldwin’s Stamp Pad Alpha, a brush-set that I’ve used time and again, as well as Darcy’s “Gimme Space” font, a really cool font that I have seen on many layouts in the galleries, too.
