Hybrid Day: Magnet Fridge Games

Hi everyone. Rach here on this fine Wednesday to share with you my latest hybrid projects. Now, I have to admit, I am not the most natural hybrid artist. I am not that creative with physical objects ((sigh, but it's true)). And I mostly imitate what I see others do, and there is nothing wrong with that. But today I am super-proud because I came up with this little game all by my 'big girl' self!

I was browsing through Lyndsay's shop for some inspiration and found that quite a few of her kits have food products in them. I thought, why not make a Fridge Magnet game for my kids so they can sort ANYTIME foods (foods that they can eat everyday if they want to), and SOMETIME foods (foods that are not for everyday, but every once in a awhile).

I used quite a few of Lyndsay's kits to produce this game, but it was worth it and my kids already LOVE it! I used a bunch of products for this one!

Check it out!Here are the kits I used to make this adorable game! I used the Frames, papers and sweet treats from this gorgeous collab from Lyndsay Riches' and Ziggle Designs called Hey Sweetie.

I used the Veggies from this adorable kit from Lynds called Pizza Fresca!
I snagged some more candies and sugary foods from Sweet Halloween !
The Soda or 'Pop' as we Pittsburghers call it, and the popcorn came from Lyndsay and Suzy Q's Now Playing Collab.
Tons of fruits and the alpha came from this adorable collab from Lyndsay and Kristen Aagard called Fruity Cutie.

I really love how it turned out!! If you want to take the plunge into hybrid but you are nervous, a fridge game is an easy way to try it out! Until next time - soak up the sun and enjoy the day!

Behind the Page: June

Happy Summer Scrapbookers! It's time for another Behind the Page, with me, Kala! Today's edition brings me to one of my favorite layouts EVER (and I don't use that word lightly!) with one of the CUTEST colabs ever! Have you seen Hey Sweetie from Lyndsay and Kami (of Ziggle Designs)? If not, it is certainly high time that you do!



If that doesn't say SWEET to you, I don't know what will! This kit is PACKED with fun goodies for your summer pics, whether it's for backyard cool treats or if you're looking to scrap your favorite carnival yummy sweets! For me, it was a great inspiration to allow me to show and tell about a sweet memory of my daughter...



This was one of those kits that directed where the feel of the layout was going to go. With the help of a template from Nanie's Designs I was able to use lots of bits and pieces from the colab (as well as from the add ons) to chronicle my girl who's typically not very camera-loving into a sweet little take on how she loves to turn on the charm for a certain giant teddy bear. I am amazed sometimes at what a kit has to offer takes an ordinary moment into an extraordinary memory. I hope you can find inspiration in this, or any of Lyndsay's fabulous kits!

Enjoy scrapping those summer memories!

Meet Sarah!

Hey everyone! Yo here, bringing you another CT spotlight. I get the pleasure of introducing you to Sarah, aka zachandavasmom.

Your Name? Sarah

How long have you been on Lyndsay's team? Since September 2010

Your favourite Lyndsay product?

Your favourite layout created using Lyndsay's stuffs?

Where do you get/what gives you - your scrapping inspiration? My kids, usually. A great picture usually screams at me to be scrapped and sometimes I love a kit so much that I just have to find a photo or take a photo that matches it!

Do you usually start with the picture or the paper? Usually the picture, but as I said, sometimes the kit just jumps out at me! I generally do elements first so that I can use them all then match the paper after. I know I am backwards!

Your favourite snack/drink while you scrap? I don't usually eat or drink, unless it is a glass of wine or maybe a beer.

Anything else you want to tell everybody????? I have a wonderful husband, two crazy kids (zach is 4.5 and ava is 3) and my terrier mix, Zave. I am so grateful that my husband helps so much or I would never have time to scrap on top of my two full time jobs (mom and speech pathologist at a special education preschool.)

Do me a favor and check out Sarah's gallery - you won't be disappointed!

Happy scrapping!

Wednesday CT Find!

Hi everyone!
Di here. And today I'm bringing you another of my finds around the wonderful world-wide web.

I love using sketches as a jumping off point for my layouts. One of my favourite sites for inspiration is Pencil Lines. I've been using Pencil Lines for a few years now, and they now have around 240 sketches available on their site. New sketches go up weekly, and there is always fantastic inspiration from the Pencil Lines design team. Another great feature is that their sketches are also converted to digital templates, which is a great time saving option for us digi scrappers.



Pencil Lines says: Pencil Lines is a blog all about using sketches to expand your artistic horizons, get you outside your box, and lift you out of scrappers block and to help you get more layouts done. It is about thinking outside your normal processes to create something wonderful.

So go take a look, you might just find a sketch that really inspires you to create something extra wonderful.

Till next time,
