In case you haven’t heard, your favorite flower manufacturer, Prima, has recently started a new division called, “PrimaHybrid.” The PrimaHyrid First Blush Digi kit is a collaborative kit created in order to celebrate the debut of PrimaHybrid. The images are by all twelve of PrimaHybrid’s designers: Carrie Stephens, Corina Nielsen, Dianne Rigdon, Doris Castle, Gina Miller, Iron Orchid Designs, Kim Christensen, Meredith Fenwick, Nancy Kubo, Trish Jones, Vera Lim and Weeds & Wildflowers Design.

This is a HUGE digi kit.

It downloads in 6 separate .zip files and includes 37 Background Papers, a Newsprint Alphabet with a-z lowercase and numbers, and 70+ Embellishments. I’ve been playing with it for almost a month and still haven’t exhausted the possibilities!

So far, my favorite elements from the kit are the soft and shabby papers by Doris Castle and Vera Lim. They’re just so pretty! I want to wallpaper my bedroom with them! I also really love the glitter flowers by Weeds & Wildflowers Design. They’re a spray of tiny glittery flowers you can splash over your layout. One set is black and the other is white. Also, Weeds & Wildflowers Design’s newsprint alphabet is so cool! There’s no other way to describe it. Each of the letters is made from slightly crumbled newsprint and they just jump off the page! These elements may not be your favorites, but with such a wide range of designers and designs, there’s sure to be something to please everyone in this kit.

Now, hang on. Before you walk away thinking, “Oh a digi kit. I don’t do digital scrapbooking, I’m not going to buy this kit,” imagine what else you can do with it.

There’s no question that hybrid is hot. For those of you who don’t know, hybrid scrapbooking is about combining paper and digital scrapbooking. A simple example would be computer journaling. Believe it or not, if you’ve ever put computer journaling on a paper page, you’re a hybrid scrapbooker! You can print out the high resolution papers and embellishments and use them on your paper pages (print on matte photo paper for best results). You can also make a digi page, print it out (I use my standard 8.5x11” printer even though I scrap 12x12) and then embellish it traditionally. There are so many possibilities!

Here are a few projects I have made with this kit:







The kit is currently selling for $9.99 and I think it’s worth every penny!
