P2D: Winter Wish

Published by Sula H.

One website that comes with awesome inspiration for traditional scrapbook layouts is scrapbookgeneration.com. It’s kind of more like a club thing, but if you check out their site, you’ll find lots of really great pages that allow for your papers and photos to shine! Just check out this post, for example. They usually show off double pages, but who says you can’t turn double pages into single pages?

Take a look at this winter themed page for example:

I simply took the general composition of this page, turned it into a single page layout, added a couple more embellishing clusters, and this is what came out:

I used my new winter kit “A Cup Full of Winter” for this (the first part is available for you for download as a freebie since yesterday), plus a couple of Cindy Schneiders layered labels she just released this weekend. I simply replaced two of the photo spots with the labels, and if you look hard enough you can see how my layout still resembles parts of the original two-page-spread.

Anyhow, if you’re looking for some great ideas on how to use your papers on a layout well, don’t miss to check out scrapbookgeneration.com’s inspiration.

A Bag Full of Hearts

Published by Sula H.

It is a fact well-known that wedding guests are expected to bring gifts for the bride and bridegroom. What is less well-known is the fact that here in these parts of the world, it’s also expected of the bride and bridegroom to give gifts to their guests. Much like a birthday party for kids in the West. I, for one, didn’t know that part of a wedding yet, and found myself surprised at the bag full of hearts (filled with treats) I was given when I was taking leave from our hosts (the bride and bridegroom) the other day. And surprised at the huge box filled with even more expensive healthy snacks they expected me to take home with me. So, I ended up going home with a lot more than I had come (though, of course, money – the expected gift for weddings – is much easier to carry than a whole lot of snacks and a bag full of hearts)!

Now, I’ve learned a new thing about weddings, and about a bunch of snacks I find I must try to get more of!

Freebie Friday: A Cup Full of Winter, Part 1 – Alphas

Published by Sula H.

Ho ho ho, it’s Friday again, and that means it’s time to start sharing a new scrapbooking kit with you. It’s my third ever created full scrapbooking kit with a winter theme, called “A Cup Full of Winter.”

As usual, this kit is jam-packed with 26 papers, 78 elements, and three alphas. That’s a full-fledged kit with lots of unique elements, for which you’d pay good $$ elsewhere. But here, you’ll get it for free, and I’d love it if you could spread the word, so more people can enjoy this kit. Sooo, when you start collecting the parts to this kit, why don’t you go and drop a note about this on your blog, Facebook, twitter, galleries etc. and send people this way? I’m sure they would appreciate you sharing this info with them.

Read this about the alphas …

Anyhow, today, we’ll start with the alphas, and there’s something a little special to the red one I included. I left it as a full sheet of letters on a red background. That is, because I wanted to give you more choice of which way you’d like to use this alpha. With the marquis tool you can copy and paste the letters as usual onto your layout, but you have a little more leeway to play with the size of the letters. Also, you could use the round marquis tool, and cut out round shapes of the letters instead of rectangles. It takes just as much time as cutting letters from any other alpha sheet, but you get to mix and match according to your own preferences. How’s that for a change?

Terms of Use

Alright, as always, my terms of use apply, which limit the use of this kit to personal use only. You may not share direct links to the downloads, resell, share freely, or reproduce assets (parts or all) included with this kit in any form or fashion.

And now, I’m happy to leave you with this first download, and as always: Happy Friday, scrappers, and happy scrapping!

Back to My Studies

Published by Sula H.

Being on winter break doesn’t at all mean I’d ever get bored. These days, for example, my studies have begun again, which means for the rest of this year, life will be extra busy as I’m trying to finish my degree. But looking at the bright side of it, I really can’t complain of being bored ever! I makes me wonder sometimes, would I try to fit in more in one day, if the days were longer?

Published by Sula H.

After lots and lots of cards that I presented to you in the hybrid hub over the last couple of months, I’ve got a special treat for you today. I finally managed to upload my finished mini-book project on my travels with my parents a couple of year ago. And today, I’m ready to present to you the first part.

This is a full hybrid project for which I used lots of digital scrapbooking products that I printed, cut, and assembled into this book. Part 2 will follow next week.
