Freebie Friday: Just Arrived

Published by Sula H.

I just finished this photo book project, but I’ve already been working on another one. It’s about our family vacation in Sweden that was about to draw to an end exactly two years ago. So, today’s new template is based on one of my latest pages for that Sweden photo book. We had just arrived and everyone was still checking out the place when I took that photo that I used for this layout. I hope you’ll enjoy scrapping with this template, and as always: Happy Friday, everyone! PS: For those of you who wonder about older templates – only the most recent four are usually available. Sorry, if that means you missed some of the older ones. I might do another contest, if you are interested in having the old ones, too! 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: Card No. 12

Published by Sula H.

Here is the next card that I made last summer, using Fee Jardine’s “Bliss.” This kit comes with cute embellishments that are perfect for cards, and it’s another example of how with very little extra supplies you can still create some simple cards. I’ve got lots of people to say thank you to, so this one’s another thank-you card, though you could easily use that label to write any kind of sentiment.

Behind the Scenes: Creating Word Strips

Published by Sula H.

Most digiscrap kits come with little word strips and pieces of word art. I don’t know about you, but I rarely find myself using those word bits, because either they don’t say what I’d like to say, or they just don’t match with the topic of the page. For me, being somewhat international ( 😉 ), living in a somewhat tri-lingual world of English, Chinese, and German, I run into another problem with these ready-made word strips – they usually all come in English, and if I’m creating a page in German (which happens a lot for photo book projects etc.) then it’s just not right to use English word strips. Having said that, I have to admit, I like to use bits and pieces of word art on my pages. And the solution to the language/topic dilemma is: Creating my own word bits. Of course, the best thing is, if the designers are considerate enough to add blank versions of their word strip pieces to the kit (I end up using those a lot). …

Monday Highlight: Christmas in August

Published by Sula H.

Who says I can’t scrap Christmas pages in August? At least my mom started laughing at me when she heard that I was planning to scrap those Christmas pages that had long been overdue. And I’m sure there’s other people out there thinking: What is she doing, scrapping Christmas pages in the middle of summer? But since in the photobook project I’m working on there were mostly Christmas pages left to scrap, I thought to myself: Why not go ahead and scrap those pages, even when it is August? It makes me long for my favorite season of the year! Anyways, hours of scrapping and about seven double pages of Christmas layouts later, I’m finally done, and I thought, I’d share some of those pages here with you. Who knows, maybe it’ll inspire you not to wait till the next Christmas season begins, (while you’re already making new memories), to start scrapping those old memories from last year !

Treasure Sunday: If You’re Gone

Published by Sula H.

I found another treasure this Sunday for my treasure chest collection. “If You’re Gone” by shawnarenee31 First of all, I love the composition, the elements are beautiful, and the colors are perfectly subdued. And of course the title jumps right at you. And aren’t the photos matching this layout quite perfectly? Anyways, I hope you like this page as much as I do.

Freebie Friday: June

Published by Sula H.

Got you another template today. It’s the doodley sort of kind, which means it includes all of my own doodles. Though it is based on a calendar for June 2011, I tried to design it in such a way that it is easily adaptable. All date numbers and the journaling spots on the grid are grouped, but you can easily ungroup them and rearrange things on your own page. The same applies to clipping masks for photos. I’m sure, you got different days to fill with photos, so I only included one photo clipping mask, and you can duplicate it and place it wherever on the grid you need it. Sounds like a deal? Well then, here’s the template: Hope you’ll enjoy this one,  and happy Friday, y’all! 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: Card No. 11

Published by Sula H.

Here is my next sample of a thank-you-card, that I just finished. Darcy is bringing out a great new set of card templates this Saturday, and this card was created with one of those templates, which – by the way – are based on the cards of one of my favorite hybrid artists around, Andrea at the Sweetshoppe. I also used Julie Billingsley’s “Sisterhood,” a beautiful kit which she released recently, and for the flower I took the paper piecing patterns from scrapbooketc.com.

Enable Me: Fairy Tale

Published by Sula H.

Well, I hurt my finger the other day, and that means I can’t do much, no tennis, no other stuff, but I’ve been scrapping a ton. Need to get those pages for a photobook finished that I started at the beginning of the year. I will share the results with you as soon as I’m done with it, but first, I want to share another link to some fine photo actions. Simply click on the image above, or HERE to get to the place from which you can download these very easily.
