10 pt hybrid challenge ideas - win a $20 gift certificate!

[Robin Carlton]

Ok chickies! The designer call and our anniversary has distracted me from getting ready for the portfolio tomorrow and now I need your ideas for our 10 point hybrid challenge.

Post your ideas for what you think we should do for March's 10 pointer (I'll need an image(s) of the project and a challenge in your words)and if I choose your idea, I'll send you a FREE kit from the shoppe!

I'll be posting later tonight (about 6-7 hours from now), so get those ideas in here soon.

Kissing Balls (pomanders):

I did this one previously:



All you need is a paper punch, some printed papers from your fav digi kit, a Styrofoam ball, and some straight pins.

You punch out a bazillion and one shapes, work it a little with your fingers to give it some shape and then pin them onto the ball with plain pins or pins with pretty pearls if you want the pearl look. Then when it is covered to your satisfaction you can either place it on a stand, in a bowl, or hang it with ribbon.

Think outside the box with a hybrid template, and turn it into something other than its original purpose.

For example, a cupcake box:



became this:



A milk carton template became a spooky house:

EEEE! How will I choose? Great ideas girls!

[kim21673]

How about some sort of alphabet wall art, etc....I so want to do this for the boys but need a kick in the rear to do it!!

If could be the actual alphabet, a child's name, a family name.......


Here are a few different ideas

[Milmomma]

What about a hybrid easter basket?

[Milmomma]

Or since its march, what about some cute head gear for the upcoming St. Patty's day? or just headgear in general-

[Milmomma]

And I know personally with all the spring parties/school events, some cute bag toppers would be an awesome one I could easly work in to my already doing stuff!

[KimberlyMorris]

Love this paper wreath


Paper Banners


Gonna try this for sure


and this

[YepBrook]

Gotta say, I've been wanting to do this one for a looong time and it seems PERFECT for March. (crossing my fingers!!!)

the challenge:
LEAF it to the patterned papers! Are you in love with all those gorgeous spring-inspired papers as much as I am? Why not showcase them and make a gorgeous centerpiece to display all Spring long. Using this tutorial on Everyday Mom Ideas as inspiration, make your own foliage or flower centerpiece using your digi-papers!! 10 POINTS!!

Get inspired by this Paint Chip Family Tree Canvas and create your own family tree.



I saw this on pinterest, and I so want to do it!

While I think all this decor is really pretty, I'd love to do something a bit more practical. What I had in mind was a recipe book / binder.

I love this one from the Zutter website and this one by our own maryinaz.

The challenge:
With so many of us trying new recipes, I bet there are a lot of recipes torn out of magazines and just sitting in piles or stuffed in folders in our kitchens. Create a home for your favorite recipes or recipes that you'd love to try!

I am TOTALLY doing this in March. I already bought this kit and pinned this on Pinterest a month or so ago. I'm prepared!

[Sherri Tierney]

My thoughts... a banner for Spring or whatever occasion strikes your fancy. Super easy, can use lots of yummy SSD papers and will beautify your space.



Personally, I'm ready for a Spring or St. Patrick's Day banner. Something I can use year to year.

[Sherri Tierney]

Along the lines of practicality, I'd love to see an address book or a perpetual calendar for birthdays.

Pinterest has several great ones for inspiration like these

[jacinda]

Great ideas everyone!

[KimberlyMorris]

a few more I'd like to do

[MandaT]

Use this card as inspiration and create your own set of 3-5 Spring greeting cards that have 3-d elements and use irregular shapes (ie: long & skinny, round, scalloped edges, etc)
