GIVEAWAY CLOSED
I am very excited to announce that the newest Memory Makers Book is due to hit our warehouse this week! That book is Paper + Pixels by May Flaum and Audrey Neal. In it you’ll learn how to create hybrid scrapbook layouts, meaning that they have both digital and traditional elements to them. May and Audrey do a terrific job of starting simple (with cool stuff that you can do in Microsoft Word) and building to more intermediate techniques (using Photoshop Elements). So no matter how little or much you want to jump into the hybrid world, you’ll find what you’re looking for.

And as a super terrific bonus, this book includes a CD with 10 digital kits and 2 digital template kits. The kits, designed by well-known digital designers including Katie Pertiet and Michelle Coleman, offer all sorts of goodies to help you get started.





In fact, I dove into the hybrid world this weekend, using a photo frame from the kit by Kim Christensen that's included on the CD. It was very exciting, really. And while my first steps were small (the only other digital element on this layout is the journaling I printed onto patterned paper), I can tell already that I might just get hooked.

What sorts of digital elements do you include in your layouts? Or what would you like to learn about the world of digital or hybrid?

And check back later this week for more layouts inspired by this book and for an interview with the authors.

Until next time,
Christine


Layout journaling reads: Well, actually Ivan {hearts} French toast. In fact, he told the Ihop servers that he wanted French toast about three times before it was actually time for us to order. And by the way, if you order French toast for Ivan, don't bother with the kid's portion. Go ahead and get the full two slices. He really loves French toast.
