Hand-cut Titles
Hey, everyone! I've been so busy lately with....well, life. LOL! Here's a recent layout...the song that I used on it is now very near and dear to my heart. It's called "My Healer" by Planetshakers. A week or two ago I was freaking because I had an SAT test to study for. As soon as this song came on my iPod and I heard the lyrics, I was totally at peace. I listened to it about 5 times! LOL. It totally inspired me to make a layout--dedicated to my awesome God. :)

LOL...so HERE it is, finally...it's a hybrid, btw. ;)



And here's a close up of my title. I had so much fun hand-cutting the title and coloring it with a glittery gel pen. I put it up on foam squares to add dimension and I LOVE how it turned out! Is hand-cutting still in? Because I love it. LOL.



In this next pic you can really see the glitter.



Isn't that FUN? LOL...here's where you say, "Okay Brittany, it's very cool. Now step away from the scissors and glitter pens before you hurt yourself." And I will, I promise. As soon as you pull out your razor sharp, itty-bitty tipped titanium scissors and give this a try. :)

Thanks for letting me share! :)

This is stunning Brittany. When you are that good at hand-cutting the answer is YES... it is still in!

Oh wow! I can't believe you hand-cut those with SCISSORS! It looks amazing. I think I need to get myself a pair of those. :D

I have been studying the closeups photos of your details. I have several ways that I do hybrid layouts, but I want to see if I can learn something new. I can't quite tell from yours, so can you help? Did you first print the PrimaHybrid background on cardstock (12x12?) Did you print the photos separately on photopaper? Then, add the embelishments and COOOL title?
thanks for the tips! MAN- I need a printer that can do 12x12!
