Join us tomorrow on New Year's Day for a Speed Scrap hosted by our CT member Jen! The time has been changed to 4 PM pacific.

When you join us tomorrow you will get this quick page made from the Gingerscraps kit, Kayla's Quilt.

Kayla's Quilt was inspired after my Niece Kayla. She made this beautiful quit and right when I saw it I wanted to make a scrapping kit!! Almost everything in this kit are real things that my sister and I took pictures of and then I extracted and embellished. The rich colors and wonderful textures make it perfect for scrapping sepia photos and all your heritage photos as well!!

For today's Friday Feature I am going to something I have never done before! I'm featuring a site you can enjoy with your children. It's a new site called "The Hybrid Kid". If you like to do fun little projects with your kids...this is the site for you. She is just getting started, but I think she has lots of great ideas in store!

Here's a little post from Mel, describing her site...

We scrap pictures of our children to remember these precious days.  Why not let them be in on it?  Why not let them create art right along side of us?  Those are the things to scrap and treasure!  This blog will be dedicated to using digital art in the everyday things we do.  I hope to pair teachers and digital designers to create printable activities that serve three purposes...educational value, together time, and to look pretty (that's why we scrap, right?)!

I have a lot of different labels...mom, wife, taxi driver, boo-boo fixer...the usual stuff.  I'm also a 'retired' elementary school teacher, a current preschool teacher, and a digital scrapbook designer.  I have been using my computer 'skills' in the classroom for as long as I can remember.  I use my digital scrap goodies now to make everything from notes to my kids' teachers to my preschool newsletter.  I'm sure a lot of other mom would use them, too, if they were easily available.

Please check back in the coming days and weeks for exciting opportunities to share your time and your artistry with your child!

Here are a few of the projects on The Hybrid Kid...

My sister just found "The Hybrid Kid" and she made one of these projects with her kids....You can read about her fun craft day on her blog.

So, you should really go visit "The Hybrid Kid" I think you will enjoy it...and she is doing a special Freebie this Friday that all the GingerScraps readers will enjoy!!
