It is with great pleasure I announce the 1st Crafty Matters Digital Kit.

With the help of the very talented Digi Queen (and CMC girl) Vita Thai, we have created a digital kit using one of my most favourite, and popular designs from my plate painting days.
Here is Vita’s fantastic layout she created using the kit- Totally digital. It looks fab!

Sooo, youre not a digital scrapper? Dont worry, neither am I, however, I love the idea of using elements from a digital kit, printing them out, and putting them together on a page.

its called Hybrid Scrapping, and most of you are probably already doing it, if you have ever added brushes, or text to a photo- you are Hybrid Scrapping.
Here are some layouts to give you some ideas-

Mardi has printed out the Blue Lines paper to use behind her photos, and then added the Red Frame to the photo and printed them out as one piece. She has also used the Date Stamp to great effect, using it twice on the Layout.AND she managed to add one of the ‘teen’ ceramic tiles to finish it off!

On This next layout, I have printed out the Blue Lines Paper, and teamed it with a very similar blue cardstock to create a subtle background for the rather bright cars! I also placed the Date Stamp on a piece of the Lime Graph paper that i had cut and pasted in photoshop, before printing that out, and adding it to the layout.(and i need to write the date ON it too- oops)

You might notice too, that i have used a ceramic heart in stone, and used a permanent pen to draw a black outline on the heart to help it stand out (and the colour of the heart matched the Heidi photo corners nicely too LOL)

Did you also notice that both my Layout and Mardis are 12×12 (and we both have A4 printers).
Here is the next Layout, and its by Katie.

She has designed the background of the layout by choosing from the diffferent papers in the kit, and then cutting and pasting them onto a new a4 canvas before printing it out to use as the background for the layout- it looks so effective, and imagine the possibilities with all those different papers in the kit. The Red Frame has been added to the photo before being printed out, and Katie has also printed out a journal block and a Date stamp for the journalling.

And finally, the last layout to show you- I have also created my background for this layout in Photoshop, using the Race track and Round journal blocks, and the red frame.Once they were printed out on the white cardstock- i cut the centre of the frame out and added the photo from the back of the layout. The green graph paper was printed out separately, torn and inked and then added to the layout.

As you can see on both Katie and my layouts, I have a painted ceramic tile with a car to match- these are available to order too.

so there you have it- hope you loved the examples the girls have pulled together as much as i have- Its been fun watching them come through the inbox.

so, here are the Stats
