GC February: The Best of Both Worlds

[Nicole Young]

Ok....if you have a DD between the age of 4-14 you probably think that I am talking about Hannah Montana with my title of this month's challenge! BUT don't worry your achy breaky heart...I am not!!! LOL....ok, ok no more goofy puns......the real meaning of my title: Let's create layouts that are partially graphic layout in nature and partially paper style. (Sometimes called hybrid layouts) You can be as creative as you want with this and as long as you use at least one DSP product and post a link in this thread by Feb 29th at midnight, you will be entered in a random drawing for a $3.99 store coupon.
SSSOOOOOooo......

[Tina]

Hey! I have a 10 yr old son and I thought of Hannah Montana too! ;)

[Nicole Young]

LOL...ok...ok....if you know ANYONE between the age of 4-14....

[sanra]

LOL -- I was between the ages of 4-14 back in the olden days and I have been to Montana. Does that count. Jus' Jokin'

Sounds fun.

[webfrau]

Who is Hannah Montana? (and I have a 9yo - maybe she's not made it to NZ)

[Sammimagoo]

OOH I'm going to like this one..I think I've got an idea already :)

[emandlivsmom]

Does anyone know of any LOs that I could look at so I could see what hybrids look like?

[Nicole Young]

Gasp....who is Hannah Montana??? Well....do you want the brief version? She is the greatest thing since sliced bread according to my 8 year old daughter. Her real name is Miley Cyrus (daughter of country singer Billy Ray Cyrus) and she has her own show on the Disney channel. :D I am SURE that if it hasnt hit NZ yet she will eventually!!! :)

[Nicole Young]

Does anyone have any hybrid layouts that they would link to show off what I mean...I am going to go grab a couple from my gallery....

[emandlivsmom]

Who is Hannah Montana? (and I have a 9yo - maybe she's not made it to NZ)

LOL on the who is HM! I'm sure she will find her way to NZ...Em went to her concert in Dec. and had a ball!

[Seagal]

Well, I am out of the Hannah Montana craze as my DS isn't quite there yet *lol*

But, here is my first submission to Graphically Challenged (which I am!) :Little Fish (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=239078)

CC welcomed! :)

[HeatherH]

Does anyone know of any LOs that I could look at so I could see what hybrids look like?

Well, I'm not expert, but I think this LO of mine is a hybrid (large blended photo with paper style elements.

[Roberta T]

I did this today and then came here tonight and presto! I had a place to upload it to. Blessed Father (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=239149)

[SettlerScrapper]

Cool... as soon as my baby is over whatever is making him sick, I'll be doing this!

[caraffle]

NICOLE, HELP! Are either of the Hybrid. I do hybrid all the time at home when I use brads, ribbons and stickers on my digi pages but this I am not sure of

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=239626&ppuser=43908

[Scrapping4Him]

Hmmm - the jury is still out for me but I'm not sure I much cared for the hybrid style. Although I have other LOs where I've blended a photo into the background so maybe I was just trying too hard on this one.

Nicole - I would like to see some examples of what you were looking for. May have to try this again once I see something to get the juices flowing.

Until then, here's my LO for this challenge: Always Dare to Dream (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=239680)

[RoadMap4Us]

Here's mine -- blended 7 photos. Added some paper style elements. An Endless Winter (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=239879&ppuser=41276).

[caraffle]

Well, here goes another try at Hybrid!

PLEASE let me know if you think this is what you want!

CC WELCOMED AND APPRECIATED!

[beckag99]

This is my attempt at hybrid: Emily (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=240263)

[dagwood]

and my attempt at a hybrid Golden Guitar (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=240176&ppuser=27233)

[caraffle]

Nicole, It this Hybrid, there are 5 photos here blended to look like one and then the 'fake' beveled letters.

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=238545&cat=500&ppuser=43908

[Pezjunky]

I think this qualifies as hybrid. The photo is by Gregory Colbert, I liked it so much when I saw it that I had to scrap it.
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=240568

[sammdc]

ok almost finished mine will upload tomorrow

[mariafer]

I think I might have to try another one. But here is my first try... i thought the swirls and photo were graphic and then the wordart looks like paper... also the journaling paper... http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=240643

[yvspeck]

I am pretty sketchy about what exactly qualifies as Hybrid but I think this one is.
Discover (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=240815)

[Bocca]

Here is my hybrid layout. I blended the title, photo, and note paper; the rest is "paper" scrapping. http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=240645&ppuser=32292

[Nicole Young]

What you shared (Dare to Dream) is EXACTLY what I am looking for!!! That is a perfect example of partially graphic and partially paper elements! You are all doing great with this challenge!! I love to see that lots of you are stretching yourselves!!!!

[Whisper Pink]

This is somewhat but not a a full hybrid style...it has a bit of hybrid because of the bottom strip (which technically I guess it is hybrid)...this is my most recent...but off to try another :D

[ChristineG]

I will definitely be doing some of these, be back later with a link to a new hybrid. :)

[ChristineG]

I am back with one of mine.

Fabulous (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=241017)

[ChristineG]

Here's another that I finished this morning. :D

Halloween 2007 (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=241082)

[MaureenH]

Here's a layout I just completed that is part paper style and part graphic for this Best of Both Worlds Graphic Challenge.

1952 The Pickup Truck (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=241096&nocache=1)

[sammdc]

ok here is one I did
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=241141&ppuser=44193

[ChristineG]

Here's another one from me:

Sweet Love (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=241721&nocache=1)

[cowboy]

No sure if this is the type of thing you are looking for as 'hybrid', but I enjoyed doing it anyway.

Carol & John 2002 (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=241726&ppuser=88060)

[caraffle]

Here is one that I will turn into a hybrid layout as soon as it comes home from the printer. I plan to add an epoxy G cleft and a paper pointsetta as well as some brads with music notes that will hold the page in my book.

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=241555&cat=500&ppuser=43908

[caraffle]

This one should have been done last month but I had nowhere else to post this.

PLEASE let me know what you think.

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=242181&ppuser=43908

[Muma]

Oh boy there goes Gundi LOL ... she's off on a roll :yahoo::clap::yahoo:great examples

Ok here is one that I created for TNS-ad challenge and thought it fit very well for this months Graphic challenge.
Let it snow (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=242362)

[dagwood]

heres one I did for my swaps partner for this month Carnation (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=242459)

[CarrieAnn]

Here is my “best of both worlds” hybrid style layout: Precious Love (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=242750&ppuser=30923)

I hope this is something like you had in mind for this challenge. :)

[terryl]

Yay, a twofer--this layout I did for Need-For-Scrap qualifies for this challenge: Vintage Wedding (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=240255&ppuser=61677)

I extracted my husband and myself from the photos, made them sepia, and blended them into the layout. I also took the pink roses from the original photos, extracted them, and then added them to this layout to bring the pinks out in the kit a bit more. I added a number of different overlays to grunge this up some. The rest of the layout is done paper style, or should I say NEWSpaper style! :)

[Sammimagoo]

Well here is mine...I think I got it?? Please let me know :)
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=242842&nocache=1

[Muma]

Here is another .... I love this style.
Butterfly Dreams (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=242867)

[MarsOlson]

This one is partly graphic and partly paper styles. I blended a small photo into the background as well as piecing together and blending three backgrounds. I also blended part of the paper style frame/photo into the background which could only be done digitally. In Nicole's gallery: Best Friend (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=242937)

[Nicole Young]

Wow guys!! ANother month with a FABULOUS gallery!! I love it!!!

[felynn]

Not quite sure this qualifies but It's an OOB with lots of paper elements
Strike a Pose (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=242066)

[Scrapping4Him]

Had fun blending photos to make my background and then added paper elements to make it a hybrid LO.

San Diego Zoo (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=243595)

(doing double duty with Gimme More, so it's in Lauren's gallery)

[caraffle]

[caraffle]

forgot to post this one:
http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=242181&nocache=1

[caraffle]

Looks like I just keep trying.
Here is another from me. I used a couple of photos of the wine cellar to blend into the BG, then extracted my hand and bottle to go on top, then put on some stickers and a net overlay. Is it too much?

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=244151

[felynn]

This is mostly graphic but it does have one paper style element so I hope it qualifies:
Texas Snow... Dirty but Fun (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=244293)
This one is pretty even:
Voyeur 2 (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=244161)
This one is mostly paper but has an OOB so hopefully it qualifies:

Here's another from me: Cowboys (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=245334&nocache=1) This one is mostly "paper" with just some background blending for the graphic contribution.

[MaureenH]

Another graphically challenged entry. In this one I blended two photos with background paper and an overlap and then added three more photos in paper style.

Our Love_has never changed (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=241922&nocache=1) I know it looks all paper, but I extracted us and then blended the photos onto other papers hearts in the kit, so that they matched the colors.
