Announcement: Hybrid Challenges coming to MouseScrappers!!!

Hey everyone! :)

I just spoke to Carol regarding the possibility of hybrid projects on MouseScrappers. For now, I will host the first one to see how many people are actually interested in doing these challenges regularly, then I will start a sign up sheet if the feedback is positive. Each challenge will last about 2 weeks so that way everyone will have plenty of time to prepare their projects.

These projects will be Disney related and the prize will be the templates you get. You can then use them over and over for Disney and non-Disney stuff.

New to hybrid? That's okay! I am not the "know-all" of hybrid..and I know there are a few hybrid savvy girls here who can help out with their knowledge!!

Here's some info on hybrid:

What is Hybrid Scrapbooking?
Hybrid scrapbooking combines the tools and techniques of both digital and traditional (paper) scrapbooking, and shares a common goal with each: namely to document life’s events and memories in an artistic way. Of the three styles, hybrid scrapbooking allows the most creative freedom because it is not limited to just one source of materials. It involves the same elements as paper and digital scrapbooking (photos, memorabilia, embellishments, words, etc.), but any aspect of the scrapbook page can be generated digitally or by physical application.

Usually basic supplies you will need to complete the projects will be your digi-stash of kits/embellies, Photoshop/layering program, scissors, some type of adhesive (your choice), cardstock/photo paper (depending on project of course), and various other things..again, depending on the project. Even traditional scrappers can take part in this and use the templates as a "stencil" but we will get more into that later. (Note: In each challenge you will be told what you need to complete the project.)

My goal is to keep the first challenge as simple as possible. A tutorial will be given in the thread and in the download for your convenience.

Ideas for projects right now include: autograph book templates (which might be the first project so stay tuned!!), pillow boxes, explosion boxes, candy tents, cupcake toppers, greeting cards, Halloween-themed projects, and Christmas-themed projects.

The first challenge kicks off this Wednesday August 25 and will last until Tuesday September 7 in the challenge forum at MouseScrappers!!!
