I just got done with a really quick project that I thought I’d share. Just to give you a little bit of a background – I plan to walk the Susan G. Komen 3 Day Breast Cancer walk here in Chicago this summer. In case you aren’t familiar, it is a 60 mile/3 Day walk! Everyone who participates is required to raise a minimum of $2,300 for the cause.
I recently went to visit my boyfriend’s family in Florida and we had a jewelry fundraiser to raise money for the walk. Everyone’s jewelry just arrived for me to distribute out to everyone. I thought about just sending the packages right out, but then I remembered I recently came across an awesome Breast Cancer digi-kit that is also going towards Susan G. Komen! I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to use the kit! (Check out ScrapHD DT Member, Danielle Young’s, blog for more info on the kit!)
So, I followed the link from Danielle’s blog and purchased the Pink=Power Collab kit. ScrapHD Club Members have the ability to upload digi-kits and freebies from other sites and use them on ScrapHD! All you have to do is upload the files as you would a regular photo. I usually create a new folder to keep all of the contents of the kit grouped together within my ScrapHD account.
Next, I created my layout. You’ll notice that I left the journal tag blank. I did that on purpose so that after I printed my layout I could hand-write the note!
ScrapHD Club Members also have the ability to print from home. So when I was done with my layout I saved it and clicked the Print from Home button. A few minutes later I had the download file in my email waiting for me. I then chose to print it as an 8×8 layout. I printed enough copies for everyone who attended the party and wrote a different note for each of them. I thought it was a nice little addition to their jewelry delivery
Here is the ScrapHD version…
I’d love to see how you all are using your print from home files!!
xoxo,
I’m handing the blog over to ScrapHD Design Team Member, Amy Teets today! She did a fun Hybrid Valentine’s Day project using the Print From Home option available to Club Members. If you have any questions post them here, I know she’d be happy to answer! We’d also love to see the Hybrid projects YOU come up with for V-day! Thanks for sharing, Amy!
——————————————————————————-
I wanted to show everyone that just printing your layouts from ScrapHD is one option, but there are other possibilities! I turned this “Diva” chipboard book into a “Love” wall hanging. I already had some of SEI’s Joliet Chocolate Collection in my stash and they also have this collection in the builder as well I then went into the builder and started a new 5×7 layout and just chose a frame, the one I used is from Laura Burger, and I put my photo underneath it. I then chose the “Print from Home” option. From here you can go back into the website and log in. Then click on “My Scrapbooks” and it will bring up all your layouts along with a way to download your files. I downloaded and resized a bit to fit on my project. Printed out the file and cut out around the frame and there you have it! Just in time for Valentine’s Day!
Today I am going to post about something that gets me reallllly excited. I’m not kidding, Hybrid Scrapbooking is where it’s at! If you like to digital scrapbook you should really take the extra step to print and add physical embellishments to Make it Hybrid. The examples I’m about to post were done by Kelly Shults, one of the incredibly talented ScrapHD Design Team Members.
She created all of her layouts on ScrapHD and printed them from home. The print from home quality is A-MAZ-ING. We used ScrapHD Photo Paper (email me if you want to know how to get your hands on some) and an Epson R1900 printer.
I’m going to post all of the layouts here. Promise me you won’t read the captions underneath until AFTER you’ve tried to figure out what was done on ScrapHD and what was scrapbooked the traditional way. Let me know how you do with your guessing!!!
Cover
She used a black Zutter Cover All for the cover of her album. I don’t believe anything on the cover is digital. She used mostly 7gypsies products except for that awesome Karen Foster Butterfly Rub-On! (tip: go to your local scrapbook retail store to find products like these!!! if you’re looking for something in particular make sure to call ahead!)
DAYDREAMER
Daydreamer is ALL DIGITAL except for the Jenni Bowlin Buttons! She also used Stickles on the swirls which really added dimension. Love it!
CHRISTMAS
The Birds, Numbers/t, and Tags are all physical product from 7gypsies added after she printed the layout.
FIVE
This is another hybrid layout using 7 Gypsies products. The rub-ons, the number 5, journaling sheet, and tags are all physical product, the rest is digital.
MY HERO
We have a 7gypsies fan on our hands 7 Gypsies products (MY letters, tag, and journaling sheet, 7 Gypsies ephemera and brad.)
She created a pocket at the top of her digital layout for her journaling card.
MOMENTS
Moments is digital except for the beautiful Teresa Collins Pearl Brads, and Jenni Bowlin Buttons. Simple, but gorgeous additions to her digital page.
Sooooo, how’d you do!? I bet there was at least one digital element on those pages that fooled you I’d love to hear what types of hybrid projects our ScrapHD users have done. I’ll be posting Hybrid stuff on here regularly. I’ll even post yours if you’ve done something cool using ScrapHD – just send me a message!

Morning Beta Testers! I just returned from a quick trip out to Tampa. I went to college there so it was a reunion of sorts. I know a lot of our beta testers are from Central Florida because we met you all at CHA. What was with the COLD weekend!?!?? I still managed to have a blast, but it was really cold!! One of the nights was a record low for the month of October at 48 degrees. I could stay in Chicago for that weather. In fact, it’s warmer here! Everyone kept reminding me that they NEVER have weather like that…the last time they had bad weather was when I visited in July. That time there was a record amount of rain! If I hadn’t lived there for 4 years I would not believe all of you Floridians about the weather
Anyways, I am glad to be back working on ScrapHD. I plan to put more backgrounds and embellies up this week from our Design Team. Right now we have four amazing digital/hybrid designers on the team. Amy Teets, Danielle Young, Laura Burger, and Kelly Shults. You can find their designs in the builder by clicking to add backgrounds/embellishments/frames and then choosing ‘Designer .’ You should check out their kits! We’d love to hear what your favorites are. Also, if there is anything you’d like to see added we are all ears!
I then went into the builder and started a new 5×7 layout and just chose a frame, the one I used is from Laura Burger, and I put my photo underneath it. I then chose the “Print from Home” option. From here you can go back into the website and log in. Then click on “My Scrapbooks” and it will bring up all your layouts along with a way to download your files. I downloaded and resized a bit to fit on my project. Printed out the file and cut out around the frame and there you have it! Just in time for Valentine’s Day!
