Aggie Shoots. Aggie Scraps.

For those of you who are not familiar with scrapbooking, there is what we call traditional scrapbooking, where scrapbookers use paper and the usual stuff you see in traditional scrapbooks. There is also digital scrapbooking, the kind that I do, where everything is done digitally, with the help of a computer software. Both of them can get quite expensive, with expensive supplies like paper and paper flowers for traditional scrapbooking  and digital scrapbooking banking on equipment – you need a fast and heavy duty computer that can run on numerous layers of Adobe Photoshop. You would also need a large hard drive because digital scrapbooking kits take up a lot of bytes (space). The third kind, one which I have been longing to try, is a mix of the traditional and the digital, and we call it hybrid scrapbooking.

Hybrid scrapbooking is digital papers printed out and embellished with scrapbooking elements like ribbons and flowers. I love seeing projects from my computer come to life, but you need to invest on a good printer and it can take a lot of ink.

You might need to order several replacement printer cartridges and have them in stock, because nothing is more frustrating than having to stop a project for awhile because you ran out of ink. You can get your supply of printer ink cartridges at Printer-Cartridges.com. They carry all types of ink for all brands of printer and even offer replacement or refill kits. You also can bring your printer cartridge so you can be sure what type of ink refill kit you would need to order.

For sentimental mommies like me who love to shop, these personalized tote bags will be a sure hit as gifts come Christmas time. It can serve as a beach tote, diaper bag, grocery bag and an everyday bag for busy mommies with kids! You can print the names of your kids or your name and it comes in different colors too!!

I finally ordered this:

I also got this and this, and hope they will arrive next week.

*sigh*
Scrapping is so addicting! If there were drug rehabs that involved scrapbooking (and scrap shopping), Im sure I would have been forcibly admitted by my husband! LOL

Yep, SSD is turning two! And I tell you, there are so many activities the whole month I cant wait for it to unravel!

For one, you can actually pick up the SSD Quarterly Assortment No.2 (along with items on your wishlist as they are having a 25% sale)

This is such a steal for the price and kits you will get.
And we are launching new challenges this week so you might want to check it out.

In other news, it seems the Santa Monica plastic surgeon Dr. Abergel has been hitting the news already because of his latest works in plastic surgery.

He actually specializes liposculpture.

I got this from Emily Powers.
I plan to make one as soon as finish the Christmas Album.

**Instructions by Emily Powers
here we go!!!

1. print. send it out or print at home. i printed mine at home on my epson and i chose to use matte photo paper.

2. cut them out. i picked this up at target to help ensure that they were PERFECT. and i made matt do it because he has a much steadier hand.

3. adhere your pages onto cd’s. you can use modge podge or spray adhesive. i chose to use the spray adhesive and it worked great!

4. drill a hole through the stack of cd’s. i made matt do this part too. i just asked him and he said he used a 3/16″ bit.

5. bind with ribbon, twine, raffia, binder rings or whatever you like!!! i linked seven binder rings together and hung it from a nail on my bedroom wall next to my inspiration board. it tied a bunch of different patterned ribbons around the ring closest to the album.

Aint this cute?
I seriously want to do this! I hope I have the time!
You can find more of them here.
