Hybrid Freebie

Remember like... forever ago when I said I had a hybrid freebie up my sleeve? Well, here it is finally! I made this WAY back in May for Mother's Day. I meant to give it away much sooner, but it just kind of got pushed to the back burner! You know how that is! Anyway, I used to make these when I was a paper scrapper- way back when- and thought they would be a fun and easy hybrid template. Well the photo box part was easy enough, but holy moly, it took me all after noon to get the stupid lid right. Not kidding. I am no math whiz, and it shows because I measured and calculated so many times! LOL I finally got it right though! So here it is, a hybrid photo box template. This is what my finished product looks like, cute huh? I was going to ink the edges, but couldn't find my ink.

The instructions are included in the DL. These are really easy and fast and fun to make. You can DL the template HERE {Sendspace}

or HERE {4 Shared}

If you have any questions please leave a comment, I'd be happy to answer any questions. Sometimes I think my instructions make sense- since I wrote them- but they really don't to others. LOL Leave some love if ya like hybrid freebies! I like to make them!

Rainy Days and Mondays {hybrid freebie}

Happy Monday!!! Right?!? or are we all just grumbling today! I have to admit, I started the day out grumbling. It's raining, raining, raining here, so that always gets me down :) But, I decided to leave the house anyway. Brock and I walked the mall for a few hours, got some lunch and came home. Then he actually fell alseep! That never happens! But it was a nice change. So I haven been spending my afternoon doing laundry, making banana bread {so yum} and now blogging! I thought I'd take a minute to show you the latest and greatest belly shots. Well they really aren't that great because my husbeast can't take a decent picture, but you get the idea. Anyway, I give you 26 weeks~

I feel like I have just ballooned lately. I retain quit a bit of water when expecting, and it seems to have started last week. Sigh. It's not even hot yet! Ah well, whatch going to do?

I have a little hybrid freebie for you today. I actually made this right before Easter, but haven't had time to post them yet. It's a cute little carrot treat box, but I think you could decorate it how ever you wanted. My preview is a little boring as I made these at my mom's house and the craft supplies are limited, but they still turned out cute.
Here is how you make these~

If you are going to decorate your box, make sure you print the lined side of the template on the white side of the paper. We don't want those ugly black lines to show. Anyway, so on one side of the paper we have the lines, then on the other side, we have our decorations. Then first cut around the OUTSIDE edge of the template. Then fold the middle crease first. Then fold IN on the diagonal lines. Repeat on the other side. Then fold in half again, make sure the cute side is facing out, and using double sided tape, tape the sides together. Don't forget to add treats! Then I put an eyelet in the top and threaded some ribbon through. Cute! and Easy! Get your template HERE

One more thing, De of Flowerscraps is having a CT Call! You should definitely try out. I am on her team and she is a great boss and makes fun kits! See you all later! Don't forget, I have a super fun new type of product coming out this week. Want a hint? It's a grab bag....of sorts!

Something Cute!

I have something super fun to show you today. I have been anxiously awaiting the release of this kit because of what I made!!! First here is a preview of this super cute kit called Fairy Garden. It is a collab between Flowerscraps and Scrappin Serenity (Cristie Dawn on my CT). It is so cute and I love the colors! Here is the previews. You can check out this kit HERE
Remember how I said I was into hybrid scrapping lately? Well I saw something cute my friend from GS Julie {aka Hybrid Queen} had done and had to try it out. Baby onesies!!! Look how cute these turned out.
First using Hot Mom's Club - By Me- {I made that binkie clip too, they are a life saver!}
This one is using Best Days of Your Life by Connie Prince
And these last two using fairy Garden by Flowerscraps.
Aren't these fun? And they are soooo easy!!! Here is how I made them~
Design your "logo" in PS or whatever program you use. Make sure you measure the space on your onesie. I used size 3 months, so my logos were 7x3. Then reverse your image horizontally to create a mirror image for printing. You have to print on special iron on transfer paper. I got mine at Walmart. Just make sure you get the right kind. They have a light fabric transfer and a dark fabric transfer. Then print. I could fit 3 designs to one paper. Make sure you let them dry comepletey before transfering or it will smudge. Next follow the instructions on the transfer package to iron them on. When they have cooled, embellish with ribbons, bows, buttons and silk flowers. One thing I will do differently next time is trime the transfer closer to the actual image. I sort of cut them in a big circle and you could see the outline one some of them. Unfortunately these are not for me :(. I know you were all thinking, "Really Steph? More baby clothes?" But they were for a friend at work who is due in April, I SWEAR!! Although, I had a hard time giving them to her because they are sooo cute! I plan on making some for myself and a shirt for my son that says Big Brothers Rock, or something like that. Anyway, hope I have inspired you to try something new. If you are just beginning in the hybrid realm, as I am, these are an easy place to begin! If any one wants a tut on how to make the binkie holders, let me know, I will work one up! Have a great day! XOXOXO

Hybrid Freebie!

So lately I have really been into Hybrid Scrapping. I made THE CUTEST project this weekend, I can't wait to show you, I have to wait because I used one of my CT Bosses unreleased kit, but, I did make something today that I thought I would share with you.
First of all, I found this super cute St Patty's kit freebie. It isn't the normal Green so I loved it. You can check it out HERE.
I am visiting some friends on Wens and I thought it would be nice to take them a little treat for the Big Green Day. I Looked all over the internet for a bag topper hybrid freebie and could find none, so I thought I could maybe make one. I just have to say that this template is VERY simple. It is my first ever attempt, so be gentle, LOL. ANYWAY~ Here is what the finished product looked like, aren't they cute?


I picked out the green, yellow and white M&M's to be more festive { By the looks of this picture, I like one friend more than the other, LOL not intentional!} So to make these bad boys, just design your topper, then print on a white piece of cardstock. Then cut it out. I used a quart sized ziplock bag. Fold the top of the baggie over so no writing is visible. Then I taped it so it is easier to attach the Topper. Next fold the topper in half - there is a fold here line- and secure to baggie. I used cute colored staples to secure it. Then fold the sides back and secure, I used clear tape. Embellish how ever you want. I staped ribbon tabs to the side. See how easy?

Here is the preview. You can get it HERE. Let me know if you like this sort of thing and I will gladly try to make more, because I am just LOVING the hybrid scene right now! See you all tomorrow, have a fantabulous day! XOXO
