Crossing my hybrid fingers!

I worked up the nerve to apply for the Scrap Matters hybrid CT. Wish me luck! I just uploaded a few of my hybrid projects to their gallery. Wanna see? Feel free to leave me some love if you'd like. ;) he he

Hybrid Curved Flap Card
Hybrid Mini-Backpack
Hybrid Pillowbox

So I don't know when I will hear back but I am crossing my fingers and toes. I want this so bad!

Did I tell you all I was invited to join the hybrid team at Digiscrap Addicts? Woot Woot! In this month's "Enabler" coming next week you will get a tutorial on how I made the curved flap card in the first link above. Fun fun! It is my new addiction! I am TOTALLY honored to be a part of such an awesome site!

On that note, here is the template that I created for the project. It is available at Pretty Scrappy.



Pick it up here for only 2 bucks for a limited time.

As promised... Splish Splash freebie

Yesterday I gave you a peek at my new kit Splish Splash. Today I want to show you what amazing layouts were created with it by such an amazing bunch of scrappers! I do not have a CT yet, but since I am getting more active design-wise I just may be holding a CT call soon so keep your eyes peeled for the ad soon! :) Several scrappers even made some quick pages up and this week only, if you buy the kit you will get the quick pages for free! I even have a 2 page set of 8x8 quick pages for you as well, also created by the same bunch of talented gals I found over at Digishop Talk.

If you would like to leave some luv for any of these ladies you can find their layouts here.







Buy my new kit Splish Splash and get the Quick Pages free. This promo ends June 14th at midnight (CST) Add both items to your cart and the discount will appear at checkout.



In case you missed it yesterday, here is the kit and the quickpages up close...




And last but certainly not least, here is your freebie! Click the preview to take you to the download page. No need to check out, simply click the download link in the store. Thank you to everyone that submitted layouts for me to include. Happy scrapping!
