Hybridology 101 - a craftwood album


Good morning all, (scrappy)Kate here with this months Hybridology 101 tutorial!

But first I have to say…
Happy New Year!  I am so excited to be bringing you ScrapMatters first post of 2009!

Now, on to business.  Here’s how to make a craftwood/mdf album, just like I have:

To make on like this, you’ll need:

  • a craftwood album of your choice, available at most craft stores - mine was a KAISERcraft (beyond the page) “Tabbed Journal”
  • fabulous digital kit to create your pages… I chose Britt-ish Designs fun Christmas kit called; “Hustle & Bustle”
  • digital layouts created with your chosen kit to suit your album theme/content
  • matte photo quality paper to print on to (or outsource your printing!)
  • craft glue for adhering your layouts to the album
  • paint to suit the colours of your digital kit; mine was white - goes with almost everything!
  • binding rings; mine were PINK (!) KAISERscrapbook Album Rings
  • embellishments to finish it off; I used ribbons, jewels/bling, buttons, paper flowers and string!
  • & finally you’ll need something to seal it… I used a matte spray-on lacquer, but most people tend to use modge podge.


I will be putting up the templates I created for this album on my blog in the next few days, so if you’re interested, stop by and pick up a freebie!

Don’t forget to upload your creations to our hybrid gallery, we’d love to see them.

I hope you have had a a Happy & safe New Years Eve!
Kate :)
