Hybrid Hub: Inspiration by Joana

Published by Sula H.

I do my own hybrid projects (given I find the time for it, which hasn’t been the case in a long while). But recently, my attention has been drawn to one outstanding hybrid artist over at SSD. She goes by Joana1n in the galleries, and for the last couple of weeks her gallery at SSD has been bursting with hybrid layouts of the finest sort. I never cease to be amazed at the paper pages she produces with digital products, and it’s a real source of inspiration that gets me all itchy again to make time, find it somehow, for a little more hybrid scrapping myself.

If you’re in doubt, go and check out her amazing GALLERY and see how she uses digital scrapbooking kits so perfectly to create beautiful paper scrapbook pages.

Inspire Me: mom2peanuts

Published by Sula H.

I’m excited, because today I get to do something I had meant to do for a long time – I get to introduce you to another one of my favorite scrappers. In the galleries, she goes as mom2peanuts, and her layouts amaze me time and again. She has a very distinct style, which means, I can see a page in the galleries and immediately know it’s one of hers. Still, I can’t help myself, each time I stumble upon one of her layouts, I have to look at it and absorb the composition and all the little details she adds. The probably No. 1 distinct feature of her scrapping style is her impeccable sense and ability for clustering and composition.

If you’re ever in need for some great inspiration for one of your own pages, don’t forget to bookmark mom2peanuts’ gallery, because you’ll always find something to admire!

You can find her MSA gallery HERE.

A Plane Story

Published by Sula H.

A bike ride to the airport is always a fun trip. Today, however, it was especially worthwhile going there for at least two reasons:

  1. Not only did the students love getting so close to the planes, but
  2. because of the holiday, incoming planes were especially frequent.

Sooo, I couldn’t have chosen a better day to invite students and friends to join me on a field trip. And though we had to deal with a couple of adversities on our way, I assure you, they were having just as much fun as I. And that’s the plane truth.

Swallows by Day …

… bats by night …

I should be remarking on the fact that today – a Saturday – everyone acts as if it’s Monday (since Monday’s classes got switched to today so we can have Monday off (makes sense, right!?) due to the peculiarity of Holiday management in China).

But I’m not going to discuss holidays again today. I’m going to muse on something much more profound. Something that crossed my mind earlier as I was crossing the square on my way to lunch and my path was crossed by a swallow flying about her daily business, which is: making sure that the buildings around the square are not only inhabited by the students who have their dorms there, but also by them, the swallows, which fly in and out between the pillars and have their nests somewhere in the corners of the ceilings of the arcades. And then I was musing on how interesting it is that by day it’s the swallows that fly back and forth right above our heads, and by night it’s the bats that are doing the same thing. Seems like a busy place, that square. And it also seems like those dorm buildings are highly rated real estate, indeed!
