Hybrid Goodness!

Hey all, Ellie here with my first blog post for Lyndsay Riches Designs!
So I've been looking through Lyndsay's gallery and there were some hybrid projects that have jumped out at me so I thought I'd share them with you :)
Have you tried a hybrid project yet? I think like most peeps I was intimidated by the whole sissors and glue thing, but once I'd tried one project I wanted to make more! For every hybrid project I make, I always use a template of some kind (except for cards - they're just like mini layouts to me that I cut up and stick together!). If you're not sure about making the jump into hybrid then why don't you buy/pick up a freebie hybrid template & have a go?! You can start with something simple like this pillow box that Sally (KyRainbow) made... (all images are clickable for credits/store links)
She used a freebie pillow box template and this kit by Lyndsay

Now for those of you that are old hands at hybrid (which I am not by any means!) here's something that may inspire you by alienxx
She used this kit - a collab between Lyndsay Riches & Simply Scraps. And finally here's a couple of projects using Spring Flings and Easter Things - one of my favourite kits by Lyndsay :)

This one is by LoriJ

And this one is by me :)

That's all I have for you you today, I hope I've inspired you to take that step into creating hybrid projects with your digital supplies :)

IT'S TIME FOR {inter}NATIONAL SCRAPBOOKING DAY

Happy Friday everyone, Di here, on this very special scrapping weekend. Can you believe it's that time of the year. iNSD is with us again, and Lyndsay has 3 brand new releases this weekend in her store at Scrap Orchard. And the best part is, they are on sale for just a BUCK! Can you believe it? But you've got to be quick, the iNSD sale ends on 02May.

First up: Berry Delightful


And then there is a gorgeous Berry Delightful Alpha set to match


And for the princess(es) in your house, how about some Princess Alphas.


Here's some inspiration from Lyndsay's awesome CT.


Be sure to check the Farmer's Market at Scrap Orchard, there's tons of products from all the designers marked down to just $1. There's new products and some older products, but they're all very delicious!

If you're a facebook or twitter user, make sure you follow the links and sign up to follow Lyndsay. You don't want to miss any of the action.

That's it from me. Hope you have a fantastic iNSD weekend, and grab some fantastic bargains.

Till next time,
Di xx

Super Sweet Layout Share!

So I was browsing the gallery at DSA tonight and got a little thrill (as I always do when I see someone has used my stuff! Seriously...if you use my stuff, I wanna see! Email me! PM me! Post here on my blog!). I saw that someone had used one of my SYTYCD contest kits to scrap a layout! And well, I thought it might be nice to share with you all this fabulous layout! :)

Not everything from this layout is from my Recycled! kit, you can see all the credits when you view the layout at DSA.

Check it out, click on the layout to go to DSA and leave the artist, EHStudios, some love!



Big thanks to EHStudios for thinking enough of my kit to use it to scrap her photo!

Layout Share: "Cute Boy"

One of my first layouts where I started playing with creating and warping my own shadows, rather than using Photoshop's drop shadow settings. Now, I *always* create my own shadows!



This is my adorable nephew, Leland.
