Create A Layered Paper Layout With a Digital Template // Part 2 // Silhouette Tips & Tricks

Hybrid Project // Create a Layered Paper Layout Using a Digital Template // Part 2 // Silhouette Tips & Tricks

I hope everyone is having a great week! Today I want to share a paper layout I recently put together . . . the first paper layout I've ever created!

I've always loved paper crafting and I'm a huge fan of Project Life, but traditional scrapbooking has always been more of a challenge for me. When I discovered digital scrapbooking, I fell in love and, had it not been for the amazing Silhouette machine Ray gave me, my paper crafting may have permanently taken a backseat to Photoshop.

Well, I'm happy to say I was finally able to jump over that last scrapbooking hurdle. I've realized an important step in my scrapbooking work flow is creating a mock up before actually touching any paper. Here is the digital layout I made and I included my paper layout right underneath for comparison.

New Scrapbook Layout // Thoughts Right Now

Birthday Wishes // 12x12 // You Say It's Your Birthday by Traci Reed

I am continually surprised by the amazing camera on the iPhone 5. These pictures were taken in a really dark restaurant and, as you can see, I was definitely moving around a lot! I'm also a huge fan of Radlab, which I used to process these images. It was super fast and easy to convert everything to B+W and I really like how the photos turned out.

So, I guess I'm getting a little better about stepping in front of the camera (well actually, I had no idea these photos were being taken . . .) and I'm thinking of playing along with the 30 day selfie challenge at A Beautiful Mess. Maybe. That's a big scarey step for me.

PS I used Traci Reed's new kit, You Say It's Your Birthday for this layout and it's FWP $10 at SSD right now ♥

Scrapbook Layout // This Is a Snow Heart

Layout // Valentine's Day // 2013 // 12x12

I'm not usually a big Valentine's Day person, but this year, I decided to go handmade and before long, I was overcome with crafty excitement.

Ray ended up making his own valentine too--this photo of a snow heart! I'll be posting mine shortly, but for now, I thought I'd share a layout I put together using Ray's photo.
