Freebie Friday: Wall

Published by Sula H.

I know, it’s a little late – yet again – but hey, you gotta do what you gotta do! At least I got you a new template to play with this week, and that’s something, right? Anyways, for this particular sample, I had to go down deep into the recesses of my digiscrap archives, to dig up this little treasure based on a page that I created almost exactly a year ago to preserve one of my memories of my last trip to the Great Wall. It was part of a double page creation, and the other part actually made the GSO at the time! But enough talking, and on to present you my newest, my latest … TA DA … TEMPLATE!!! Oh, yes, and before I forget: Cindy (have I ever told you she’s one of my favorite template designers?) whipped up a new and pretty pretty freebie template to pick up on her facebook page. Ok, now I’m a little too lazy to hook you up with the facebook link right now. (I …

Hybrid Hub: Card No. 16

Published by Sula H.

October is the perfect month for flying kites – at least in Germany, where I grew up. So, it’s the perfect timing to share with you this happy thank-you-card – one of my all-time favorites that I created last year. I used Misty Cato’s “Blue Skies Smiling,” a beautiful scrapbooking kit that comes with pretty patterned papers, and the perfect set of elements for this hybrid project. For the sentiment, I used Darcy Baldwin’s Stamp Pad Alpha.

Enable Me: Photoshop Actions Pack

Published by Sula H.

Oh, I’ve neglected this little corner of the world lately, haven’t I? But I’ve been busy with classes, getting everything organized, and working on a fun mini book project that I’ll share with you once I’m getting it done. Promise! (If I ever get it done, lol)! And now, on to some enabling. I haven’t shared any free photoshop actions in quite a while, so it’s about time for another installment. You’ll find the download link to the right side of the web page.

Freebie Friday: Prevail

Published by Sula H.

It’s free template time, and today’s template is based on my page “Prevail” that I created a just the other day. Hope you’ll have fun with this one. By the way, the reason why I had to cut off all links and set up new ones is because MistyHilltops.com was getting too much traffic last month -something I can’t complain about, but I wasn’t quite prepared for it either, lol! Now I’ve learned my lesson, things are fixed, and you should be able to download everything again as usual. Sorry for any inconveniences and the delay in all. I know using mediafire isn’t the best solution (I myself can’t access it without support), but for now it will have to do. Anyways, wishing you a happy Friday as always! Note: Please do not re-distribute this template in any way (you may share the link to this post), and when you use this template, please make sure to credit it to Misty Hilltops Designs.

Hybrid Hub: Thank You Card No. 15

Published by Sula H.

It was a happy hour for my hybrid heart today. I was out on a stroll on campus, when I came across a little shop that said “stationary store” on the outside. Had never really been in there, so I thought, I’d take a peek. Have been looking for some ways to create a hybrid mini book/album, but nothing the usual stationary/craft stores around have to offer would work for me. But lo, setting my foot into that store, I soon realized I had dug up a treasure! I sure must have spent at least an hour in there, combing through their piles of stuff, and in the end, left with an emptier purse than I had meant to, but a bag full of treasures and a happy heart. Now I have ribbons, miniature size (bull) clips, notebooks (that will do perfectly once I’ve torn them apart and use the paper for scrapping), and I even found a way how I could put together my December Daily album from last year that still needs lots …

Inspire Me: Mi Monteiro

Published by Sula H.

She’s been on my list for an “Inspire-Me” feature for a long time: Mi Monteiro. I first noticed her last year when she was accepted as a Sugarbabe over at SSD. Her pages are beautiful, and time and again I’ve lost myself in her gallery, finding inspiration for my own pages. Her layouts are impeccable; her style is quite versatile. I love her sense for composition, colors, pattern, and clustering, and I absolutely admire what she’s able to do with a kit, just by resizing items and her composition. If you haven’t discovered Mi Monteiro as inspiration for yourself yet, then make sure to take a look at her gallery; you might just get as inspired as I am!

P2D Inspiration: July Highlights

Published by Sula H.

I’ve got more P2D inspiration for you today. I found this page recently … (Sorry, I don’t know who the artist is, I think I got the link from pencillines.com) And I liked it well enough that I thought I’d give it a shot digitally. So, here’s my take on it: With the original, I loved the take on the patterned papers, the stitching along the edge, the flowery clusters, and the bits of word art.

Freebie Friday: September

Published by Sula H.

It’s Friday, and that means it’s time for another template. This one is based on my page “September Highlights.” Link is fixed now. Sorry for the delay. Also, Lynette (aka Nettio) has a fantastic free template on her blog, featuring a USA map. She is an awesome scrapper, and usually sells her templates, so if you haven’t grabbed it yet, be sure to stop by her blog to pick up this fabulous two-page template for free. And having said this, all I’m left to do is wish you a happy Friday as always! Note: Please do not re-distribute this template in any way (you may share the link to this post), and when you use this template, please make sure to credit it to Misty Hilltops Designs.

Hybrid Hub: Friends

Published by Sula H.

Last week I told you that I had done another hybrid layout, so here it is: Over at the Pencil Lines blog, I’d found a pretty page that I felt would be great for scraplifting (esp. with the limited supplies I have here in China): I loved the composition, and the embellies it required wouldn’t make the cutting process too arduous. Also, I wanted to create a page that was meaningful for me, so I decided to scrap about some of my friends from a long time ago. Basically, I created the layout on my computer, then resized and transferred everything to several sheets of A4 size paper, printed, cut, and assembled it. I also thought about creating some paper crafted flowers to add, but then decided to stick with the printed flowers, because the page will turn out flat, which will make storing it in a folder a lot easier. (I don’t have access to a scrapbook album here.) And the flowers that came with this kit still look pretty, even when printed. Let’s …
