Feel Better, originally uploaded by scrapmavin1.I was looking around for different challenges and contests to get myself out of a creative funk. I found this terrific blog that has sketches every week. So i decided to go ahead an do the sketch for MOJO77I find sketches allow me to experiment with my supplies, use up left over paper (like this card :)), and try new color schemes. The color

Scallop-Valentine, originally uploaded by scrapmavin1.Well it has been a long while since I posted anything. Too much work and too much of a "Norman Rockwell" holiday.My last entry on Hero Arts was their Valentine blog week. I decided to break out the old Klic-n-Kut and make some scalloped hearts. I have a download link below for anyone who has a klic-n-Kut or can convert the knk file for

She always has a stack of paperbacks for me to read every time I visit. So basically I never have to buy any paperback novels. How great is that!!For her birthday (Mom stop reading now!) I bought a number of paperbacks that have just been released. I doubt

Nugget-Box, originally uploaded by scrapmavin1.I made another little gem with the Spookalicious Kit from Divine Digital. This little gem is way less fattening than the previous post! It only holds 4 nuggets, which I believe is only about 211 calories. Probably better for all, especially the little goblins who need to go to bed at night. Details: I used a white paint pen on the acetate so

Treat-boxes, originally uploaded by scrapmavin1.I used the Spookalicious Kit from Divine Digital to create the little medallions. The kit is filled with cute Halloween motifs for kids of all ages.To make these boxes, I first scaled the critters down in MS Publisher to about 2.125". I then printed and punched the critters out with a 2.25" circle punch. I made black scallop circles measuring 2 7

Holiday Coasters, originally uploaded by scrapmavin1.I made the coasters for the "Deck The Halls" contest on the Hero Arts blog. The coasters were so easy and inexpensive to make. I think I paid about 47 cents per tile. I plan to make a bunch for the holidays for last minute gifts to have on hand. The stamping/coloring for all four took about 45 minutes. I usually spend twice that on a card

posh, originally uploaded by scrapmavin1.No, I'm not a princess. I am however part of Studio RA's creative Team. I wasn't sure how I felt about having my bio up on Facebook. I try to maintain a low internet footprint. After the introduction of Zigg, I might just have to use HTTP Tunnel Pro more often. HTTP Tunnel Pro effectively blocks your IP address from any site you view. If you want to

The bottle toppers could be used for any long neck 750 ml bottle. Here are some quick instructions to create your own:Cut a piece of cardstock measuring 11" x 3.5" wideScore at 2.5" from the top of the long end. (The score line will be 3.5" in length)Punch or cut a hole aproximately 1.25" in the diameter (for some bottles the hole may need to be wider). Centered above your score line (between

The flower is composed of a Hero Arts Flower stamp (bottom piece) topped off with a Flower from the Studio RA Kit. The card is "Matchbook" style. I used my handy dandy "Score-Pal" to get the edges just right. I just got the Score-Pal and I

Notecards and Folder, originally uploaded by scrapmavin1.I made this cute little set of note cards and folder using "My Gurlz All That" digital scrap kit by Royanna Fritschmann. On sale for only $1.00, who can resist!The "Notes" is your basic Algerian font found on most PCs. I think it works well with the kit. My note cards are 3.25" by 5.0". I made the portfolio from 8.5" x 11" cardstock. I

sophmama_cardbox, originally uploaded by scrapmavin1.I made these quick 3"x3" cards with envelopes and holders from this great little design I saw on Mel Stampz blog. I won't repeat the instructions, because they are fully described on Mel Stampz blog, as well as a pocket book variation.I did not cut out the envelopes or the box with scissors. I used the templates found on Mel Stampz's blog and

I am now on 2 wonderful design teams, Selena Neal ( DigiSkrapnMomma) and RA Design studios (Royanna Fritschmann). The cards shown above are some quick hybrid cards I whippped up from the Royanna's "I'm sooo rusted" kit. I thought the kit was perfect to make some quick Thank You cards for a little boy I know.My husband actually helped me enhance the idea by reminding me how much he liked comic

Not all of the templates are created equal. I downloaded one off one site and found it to be a bit narrow and too short. Therefore it is best to do a test print on plain paper. Cut the template out and put it in the mug to see the best orientation of the template and whether the template's sizing is correct.Most times you can scale the template 5-10% one way or another without any weird effects

I finally decided to start a blog about digital scrapbooking and hybrid crafting. I've been hybrid crafting for 11 years now. I started out using Photoshop and Illustrator in my primary job and then moved on to using it in crafting. It started out as pure laziness and thriftiness (Can you say cheap?). I needed more wording than I had rubber stamps, and I could never line those pesky
