I love to scrapbook. I also love to shop. The
second is not always compatible with my very
tight budget. As a hybrid scrapbooker, we have
it made! Repeat my newly-made manta with me:
“Reduce. Reuse. Recycle your MONEY!”
In 2009, one of my major goals is to cut down
significantly on the amount I spend on
materials. Oh, please do not misunderstand; I
am a shop-a-holic so this will be tough on me
(and my husband as I complain). I began a
little adventure last month to see exactly how
much I could save by using digital kits instead
of 100% paper products and here are my results:
Digital Kit costs: $3.00
Paper, misc. embellishments, tools,
adhesive, etc. (all on hand): $ Free
Total: $3.00
Three dollars!!! Can you believe it? All of
the projects below were created with that
$3.00! And by borrowing templates or creating
your own, you save even more! There are SO many
available digital kits out there right now that
you could spend a VERY small amount and scrap
forever! Our very own store has a plethora of
available kits,
by some very talented designers,
for your immediate use . This month, your free
download will be a candy box template that I
created for your Valentine gift-giving purposes,
or for any other reason at all. Cut a window
into it and place some plastic behind it, use it
to make a box of playing cards, or just fill it
with some special treats for your loved ones;
the possibilities for its use are endless! You
can find the template here (Free
Template download).
Happy Valentine’s Day from your devoted Hybrid
Heroine, Brianne!

Design
notes:
I used two different shades of the digital
paper to create my heart shapes at the top
of the journaling and also as the background
to the photo. I printed off two sets of the
hearts and used pop-dots to create dimension
on a relatively simple layout.

Journaling: Sometimes your nearness takes my breath away, and
all the things I want to say can find no
voice. Then, in silence, I can only hope my
eyes will speak my heart. –Robert Sexton

notes:
I
used one of the beautiful shades of red for
the background to my quote. By resizing my
photo and paper to the exact same size, I
almost created my entire card digitally. To
bring in my love for material products, I
separated the two with a piece of ribbon and
added a nice bow for decoration.

Design
notes:
I created the box with the candy box
template available for free download.
Instead of filling it with candy, I created
a small mini-album of the boys in my life
(husband, son, and cat). I used the digital
paper for the front of the box as well as
the background to all the photos.
