I was immediately drawn to the bright stripes, polka dots and glasses in Sara Schmutz’s My Shades Collection.  I wanted to create a hybrid layout using these items to document a trip to a 3D movie and incorporate the ticket stubs too.

I also used MaryAnn Wise’s Taped Frames (I love the tape and the white curled frames!):

1. Start out in Photoshop with a blank 4×6″ 300 dpi document.
2. Add a picture from the theater.
3. Layer a square taped frame over the picture
4. use (M) square  marquee tool to draw a selection on the picture layer just larger than the opening in the frame.
5. invert the selection (Ctrl-Shift-I) to select the area of the picture outside of the frame then delete.
6. add a patterned paper under the picture.
7. print on 4×6 photo paper.
8. drag papers over the frame layer so only the patterned papers show, print.

Use the frame to make a Journaling spot:

1. Select the (G) Bucket tool
2. sample the color of the frame
3. Fill the inside of the frame with the color
4. add journaling on a layer above the frame
5. add patterned paper under frame
6. print

I lay out the picture and the tickets in a line, then determined the sizes of the other pieces and cut to fit.  The best part about printing all the pages on 4×6 you know all are the same width.  You could also skip the hassle by laying out the block in ps and printing as one sheet then adding to the layout.

I chose a few pieces that would be mounted with foam adhesive and removed them to adhere later.

I adhered these pieces down and then sewed down every seam with a green zig zig stitch.

1. I added some embellishments to the 4×6 document
2. Add text to the labels.
3. Print

Using Spellbinders pinked Circle dies and my big shot die cutter I cut a out one pinked circle with patterned paper and cut the two labels.

1. I trimmed the tickets with a paper trimmer on the straight sides then used a fiskars postal shaped scissors on the edges.
2. I wrapped some divine twine around one ticket and used dimensional adhesive to mount.

The last movie ticket stub was mounted to a pinked circle and then to the page for dimension.

I added the title with some yummy yellow Thickers:

I hope you are inspired to add ephemera to your next hybrid project!  I’d love to hear if you have any questions or if you use this idea, I’d love to see your project!

Thanks for stopping by!
