If you're doing a traditional layout, and need something you don't have, you can print out a digital version, cut it out and use it. So handy. Plus, you can alter the color prior to printing, if you need to. I've done one hybrid layout, you can see it here: http://www.digishoptalk.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=372193&cat=all&ppuser=14122 There is also a social network based entirely on hybrid: http://scrapbookdimensions.ning.com/ In fact, the layout I did was for a project on Scrapbook Dimensions. I like the ability to alter digital papers and elements and printing them to use on traditional layouts. In this way, you can truly make personalized, unique layouts and projects.

But once I found digi, and the quality of the graphics available (and my own skills) improved enough, I've not looked back. I tried some hybrid layouts, mostly just leaving off a ribbon/flower/ alpha embellishments, and adding those on later. Then it got so it was a pain to go dig up the stuff, and adhesives, and it was easier to just do digi. Then if I wanted a a 12x12 for my book, and several 8x8s for the grandmas, I didn't have to do it over and over, and find the right size stuff for the smaller pages. I still love the hands on of paper stuff, but I do limit it to crafty things mostly. Teacher gifts, notebook covers, cards, small projects that I have a specific use for! I do like the look of my hybrid pages, but the convenience of digi is WAY out weighing that. I don't print at home, so cost is not an issue. My last batch of 12x12 prints cost me a little over a dollar a piece by ordering in bulk and catching a sale. Can't BEGIN to match that cost in paper scrap. If I were a paper company, I'd be looking to get into the output game! I’ve been a paper scrapper since before scrapping was cool – around 1980.

I have two sets of cards, one set that I market to other people via my website, and one stash for me to give to friends and family. This is a great idea to keep my stash of cards neat and tidy and most importantly in the same place. From one card maker to another, thanks for sharing! I just love this idea!

The projects, though, do intrigue me. I think it is more a situation that I can see projects that I can do with my girls vs something I want to make. I really enjoy sitting back at my desk or with my laptop, creating and never having to worry about hauling out supplies or making sure everything is picked up before the girls get up.

But I recently bought a few inexpensive digital products (journaling cards, etc.) and printed them out so I'd have them handy for projects. I like printing out sentiments to use on cards, and can see myself printing out journaling blocks for use on scrapbook pages. I like using my own handwriting, but there will be times when I want to use a specific font, or know that the journaling will fit well in a particular space. I sincerely hope that people embrace hybrid scrapbooking (as I don't want all the great "real" paper and embellishments to disappear because everyone has switched to digital). I have a good printer, but ink costs a fortune. I'd rather buy great products, such as paper and cardstock, and simply add some digital things here and there.
