Digital Templates - 9 New Layouts & 1 Free Template

Starting in 2008, Club Scrap has begun offering Digital Templates to use for your layouts. These are layered images that you can add any digital papers, embellishments, and photos to while using the same layout structure completely, or partially. To help visualize the process, I've included a picture of each layout's components as well as the finished layout... and at the bottom of this post you can get a free template that I created!

The Palace of Love - Ingredients

The Palace of Love

Club Scrap: From the Heart 2008 Digital Kit - Template #1, CS01, CS02, CS07, Fbr01, Fbr06, Tag30;
Fonts: The King & Queen; Passions Conflict;

The photos are of an installation at our favorite local art museum from last year! I used the first template in the From the Heart kit on this one and warped a few sizes, rotated and resized the inked edges to add them to the photos, and altered the hues.

I used only the inked edges from From the Heart 2008 DigiTemplate #1, altered hues, and "die cut" the digital papers.

The Sentinel by Thomas Frederick Hoppin c. 1851, one of the first large scale bronze sculptures case in the United States and installed at Roger Williams Parks Zoo where it is a favorite of many children. 9/17/2006

15 Cards, 4 FFC Exclusive Card Kits

Club Scrap has recently created four new great 15 card Frame in Frame Greeting to Go kits! There are 4 color themes, Stratosphere, Time & Space, Games, and Asian Artisan, which each contain the same 15 card, envelope and die cut components, but in alternate color schemes! Each kit has 3 sizes of cards with 5 designs per size. Simply ink some edges and add ribbon or brads as you desire and you'll wind up with 15 great cards and a slew of extra die cuts and panels that you can use as alternates or on other creations... The die cuts are pre-printed with tons of great greetings, but you can also always flip them over and stamp your own sentiments onto them!

I've made the cards according to their instructions and have scanned some from each collection, so that you can see all of the designs, but won't have to scroll through all 60 cards! With each kit you'd only get one color scheme, but all of the designs!

More FFC Exclusive Kit Layouts, Reaching Out ALSB Kit

With two full sheets of tags, the Reaching Out ALSB Kit has so many options for embellishing your layouts, already within the kit! And each layout is very versatile... able to be rotated to any angle and to feature all kinds of subjects.

Scrapping Out of Season & Adding Beads to Your Work: Halloween Remix Kit's 10 Layouts

I have this habit of not only NOT scrapping the current season, but often one 6 months away! But the great part of it is, without looking at my blog, you'd never know just what order I did my pages in ;)

So, today, I bring you 10 layouts using the Club Scrap Halloween Remix 2007 Kit and its ALSB instructions. I've made note of anywhere that I changed the layout... but be warned, I've added beads to each and every page! There are a few different simple ways that I used them!
