Hybrid Gallery Stand Outs

Hi!! Sarah here! I was looking through the hybrid gallery at Brownie Scraps and I found some seriously cute projects that have been completed!!

This was created by sparagus, and is jsut such a beautiful invitation! So cute and adorable!!
This was created by KrystalBear. So pretty and I love the crayon instead of a pen!!
Created by Tanyia. She totally stole my idea of using a stuffed animal for posing but who can resist a cute penguin?
Created by SandyPieCreations. I love the bright colors, and the super sweet messages!!

An egg shaped basket by tiffanydimples. I am so craving a chocolate bunny now!!

Make sure, when you upload to Brownie Scraps, that you put your hybrid projects in the hybrid section! You just might be featured next!!

The panda is just chilling out and I see notes being given on how to find your zen or something! Perfect, right?

Just so sweet!!

Bright and colorful! Just lovely!!

Fancy Basket Release and RAK!

My new template this week is another fun Easter Basket with a more elegant shape that makes it perfect for holidays without bunnies and eggs too!  I think it is perfect for Mother’s Day, especially when you add some flower embellishments!
