Academy - 2 Mini Books, 2 Bookmarks, and 2 Layouts!

Can you tell that I'm really loving the new Academy 8/07 Kit from Club Scrap? Here are two Mini Books, two Bookmarks, and one Digital Layout in two color options, all using the same kit! For the first projects, I took the theme and ran with it!

Academy Mini Spiral Bound Book by Neith Juch

For this Mini Spiral Bound Book, I used photos from school events for the 2005-2006 School year and then laminated each page in driver's license sized laminating pouches! I trimmed the pages down so that the tabs were actually protruding... My Crop-A-Dile came in handy for creating nice and even hole punches for the spiral binding!

Supplies Used: Club Scrap - Academy 8/07 CSt and Jr WM Stamps, B&B and CSt UM Stamps, and Cardstock in Blue, Brick, Brown, and Tan; Ranger - Adirondack Acrylic Paint Dabber in Aqua, Archival Ink Pad in Coffee; We R Memory Keepers - Crop-A-Dile; ABC - Heat Seal Laminating Pouches;

These little treats are samples of new free gifts that I've made for my customers! The top image is of a lined notebook with a handmade laminated cover, sharing designs and techniques with the laminated bookmark below it. I stamped my images with archival ink onto glossy paper and then colored the images in with Distress Inks using a Niji Waterbrush plus both Cut 'n' Dry Nibs and Foam! The bottom bookmark was made by monoprinting with the extra ink from the top projects and then collage stamping over it!

Academy 8/07 Digital Layout by Neith Juch

Academy 8/07 Digital Layout by Neith Juch, Click to EnlargeThis pair of Digital Layouts is identical, except that I altered the hue of the background and "9" block to match the shade of the curtains in the photo! You may recognize it from this month's DigiRap :) I was careful to use a feathered edge when cutting the digital version of the Edified Felt, keeping the edges soft like they would be in real life! I also made use of the Ivy League stamp image to create an all over background pattern on the Brick paper.

Remember, this is the same kit that I used for my Ducklings layout and ATCs! Love the versatility of it!
