Hear Me Out...Paper Meets Pixels
Hear Me Out & Pass the Scissors - A Scrapbooking PodcastAbout this episode
In this episode of Hear Me Out and Pass the Scissors, Nicole and Lisa dig into what really separates traditional scrapbooking from hybrid scrapbooking and how blending paper with digital elements has changed the way we create. We share how we got started with hybrid, our early layouts, and what I’ve learned while designing for Kellybell Designs and Traci Reed. We talk about choosing between physical papers and digital collections, how hybrid helps us reuse older kits, and what to do if you don’t have a 12x12 printer. We walk through the perks of customizing and resizing digital pieces, printing at home, trying different paper types like vellum or canvas, and using tech confidently without losing the hands-on feel we love. If you’re curious about hybrid scrapbooking, want ideas for mixing digital files with your stash, or just want to hear our honest thoughts about hybrid scrapbooking, this episode gives you plenty to think about.
