So. I don't do paper layouts very often anymore. But sometimes Scrap N'Art forces me out of my comfort zone and I am required to do something that is not my normal method. It usually freaks me out when it happens but I eventually end up enjoying the process. This was one of those situations.

As you can see, I still used my computer to print out my photo and added some text. I couldn't resist a little bit of digital, so I guess that makes this a HYBRID project, right? Silly me for being so freaked out. The paper flower on the bottom right was made by cutting a strip of paper, then fan folding it on a slight curve. I then glued it together and plopped some buttons on top.

This bit of title work was done using my Dymo Label Maker. I cut a strip of paper and slid it through just like I would the label roll. Then I sanded the letters to help them pop. It worked great and honestly, I love my Dymo. I use it quite a bit in my projects. I had to hunt a bit to find one of these manual label makers, everyone sells the electronic ones now, but that doesn't give you the embossing which is what I like about the whole thing!
