So after creating this My Digital Studio Page I couldn't resist printing it out and turning it into a Hybrid Scrapbook Page Layout. I resized it to an 8X8 and printed it on my home computer. I had a few challenges in mind when I sat down to scap. SU-Only Challenge Blog is celebrating Butterflies this week, also I decided to enter at The Paper Players again this week for their theme challenge (I figured I have lots of flowers on the page and my daughter is behind a tree so that counts right?!) and Shelli Gardner is having a scrpbooking challenge on her BLOG for the whole month of MAY.
Here is the page showing the little jouirnaling tag that I made:
I am really pleased with the way this page turned out:) And I love creating hidden journaling for my pages as I sometime find that journaling can clutter the look on some layouts. The colour combination that I used is Peach Parfait, Blushing Bride, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Pear Pizzazz.
I created the tag by cutting a strip of paper just a smidge wider than 2" and insetred the ends partially into the Decorative Lable Punch. Next I punched a 3/4" Circle from Crumb Cake attached it to the tag then punch a circle using the Crop a dile through both layers. I then used a little of the Yummy Bakers Twine In Early Espresso. For the actual journaling I used My Digital Studio and typed it in Early Espresso, then "stamped" the Upsy Daisy image in Crumb Cake and reduced the Opacity to 20%.
The big butterfly was cut out using the Big Shot, Beautiful Butterflies Die and Cork Sheets. I then decorated it with flowers from the Bitty Punch Pack, Pearls and stamped some words from Fabulous Phrasees that were punched out using the Jewlery Tag Punch. The little butterflies on the page were cut out using the Beautiful Wings Embosslit. The patterned paper is from the Sweet and Sour Specialy Designer Series Paper and last but not least I tied some Wide Striped Certainly Celery Ribbon around the page and attached a little Vintage Tag and Button Brad from the Vintage Trinkets
Supplies Used:
Stamps: Fabulous Phrases
Ink: Crumb Cake, Early Espresso
