Hi! I’m Betsy Sammarco and I’m guest blogging today! I wanted to share with you one of the many reasons why I love hybrid scrapping. My printer does not print full 12×12 pages. It used to drive me crazy until I found ways to work around it with hybrid scrapping. If you don’t have a wide format printer, you should try this if you haven’t already!
You can use your standard printer to print out a smaller version of your layout and then adhere that to a 12×12 sheet and embellish. It’s like having a layout within a layout! Here’s what I did:
I started with this ScrapHD Jenni Bowlin Theme called Country Colors:
I changed the theme up a bit by using different patterned paper and inserting 2 photos instead of one:
I inserted this layout into a Word document and changed the size to 8×8 and printed it and adhered this smaller layout to a 12×12 sheet of Jenni Bowlin ledger paper and embellished:
A layout within a layout! Ahhhh, the joys of HYBRID!

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!

That’s it for now. Please let us know what you think! Have a fabulous weekend
Each week we are adding more and more backgrounds and embellishments to the ScrapHD builder, which is a lot of fun because it means so many more options to be creative. I think everybody who we have partnered up with brings something unique to the table when it comes to design. It is really cool, too, to learn a little bit about the history of those designs. Today on Mrs. Grossman’s Facebook Page they shared a little bit of history about their ‘Neighborhood Dogs’ stickers. We have those stickers on our site!
These are some of Mrs. Grossman’s best selling stickers and they were designed 16 years ago! What’s really cool is that each dog sticker was inspired by one of their company dogs. The big gray and black one was Andrea Grossman’s Russian Wolfhound, Ruckus.
(Bringing your dog to work is SUCH a perk! Just ask Ranger and Charley- the ScrapHD office dogs!)
So as Mrs. Grossman’s asks on their Facebook page – Do any of these dogs look like YOURS?
I hope everyone had a great weekend and found some time to play on the site! We got some great news over the weekend that we’re excited to share…We have another partner to add to the ScrapHD lineup!!
Kaisercraft is based in Geelong (Victoria) and is Australia’s leading craft, art and scrapbooking products manufacturer and wholesaler supplier to craft retailers around the world.
Having established Kaisercraft in 1987, it wasn’t until 2005 when owner Stephen Kaiser and his family decided develop Kaisercraft’s scrapbooking range into what it is today and concentrate on expanding loyal business with independent retailers. This shift has been extremely successful and Kaisercraft has quickly become a quality craft and scrapbooking brand across the world.
We are really keen to have the Aussies on board And I know they are excited to bring their designs to all of you via the ScrapHD platform!! Click on their logo to check out their website or find them on twitter http://twitter.com/kaisercraft.
Have you heard who we’ve teamed up with!? We have partnered with many of the top manufacturers in the scrapbook industry!! Most of them have never offered their designs digitally before so this is very exciting news… The coolest part is you’ll find the same brands in your local scrapbook store. We’ll be showing you all how you can create digital layouts on ScrapHD, have them printed in traditional scrapbook sizes (12×12/8×8/5×7) and then head to the scrapbook store to add physical embellishments to add dimension and complete your scrapbook!
Keep an eye on the site because we’ll be adding more and more designs from our partners for you guys to test out during beta!
Who are you excited to see in digital format????
