FFC Exclusive Star Book plus TONS (over 85) of Free Instructions from Club Scrap

Today, Tricia Morris launched her webisode, You're a Star, on TVWeekly.com, featuring a wonderful new 6x6 Star Book Kit. Here is the very similar FFC Exclusive 6x6 Star Book from Club Scrap!







Star books are dynamic books with have the shape of a star when fully opened... plenty of space for hidden notes, slipped in tags, etc... and the Club Scrap books include a folding pocket on each page!


Tricia's latest webisode featured the brand new Military 6x6 Kit, but if star books aren't your thing, there are still plenty of books and papers by Club Scrap to suit your needs while scrapping about loved ones who are serving in the military! One of my favorites is the Handmade Gate Fold Flag Book using the papers from the Friendship 4/04 Kit! Please click on the images to see more photos and alternate colors that the kit is available in... and stay tuned! I have a slew of patriotic themed layouts and even a mini book that I will be showing on Memorial Day!





There are so many other Webisodes that Club Scrap has produced with TVWeekly.com, television episodes on DIY and HGTV, and more free instructions at the main Club Scrap Website! And then there are even more project or inking instructions given out with each Senior and Club Stamp Kit, as well as plenty of great digital techniques given with every Digital Kit! And... even more through FFC Crafters, like me!

Here are the links for all of the official instructions that I've found online!

Outdoor Crafter Classic Layouts

I'm such a sucker for browns and greens, add that to nature prints and you've got me! So, of course this Outdoor Crafter Classic appeals to me! It combines imagery from the long-extinct November 2000 Outdoor kit with papers from Be Still 9/07, Simply Beautiful 5/07, and Retro 9/06 for a wonderful new combination!

One other great thing about this Crafter Classic kit is that it coordinates perfectly with the images from the Centennial Casual unmounted stamps, which include the cat tails from the Outdoor kit AND some of the same imagery is used in the collage prints in the Centennial kit!

An Army Tribute: Gate Fold Flag Book

I have a bunch of these great little book kits hiding in a box! It's high time that I took them out of storage to start creating!

These dynamic books feature an overall Gate Fold design with Accordion Spines and Flag Pages. Check out the views from different angles, with the book fully opened up and flat, versus standing upright as a pair of 'trees." Plus, these great little books can hold SIXTY 2"x1.5" photos as well as one 5.5"x5.5" photo and a pair of 2.5"x5.5" photos on the inside covers! (I'm actually 10 photos short of a full book because I want to get a few more of my brother's Iraq photos and some with his medals on his uniform!)








The books that I have actually come in six different colors/patterns. The one that I've used is the Friendship 4/04 Kit, using a great textured marble cover and cream and khaki interior pages, just perfect for my brother's Army photos, eh?






There is also an Asian Artisan 1/04 Kit featuring shimmering mint green asian floral prints on a semi-glossy cover with speckled grey and brown interior pages. The To You With Love 2/04 Kit has a great postmark/handwriting motif on a kraft cover with printed pink letters for the interior covers and plain pink flag pages. The Evergreen 12/03 version has luscious handmade plum paper covers with interior pages in a mix of handmade cream with embedded floral elements and cardstock in plum and cream with a crosshatch texture. The Poetic 9/03 kit has gorgeous vintage tin tile and feather motifs in monochromatic blue covers with blue interiors and white flags that feature colored feather prints. The Hearth & Home 10/03 book uses rich brick cardstock with a collaged cover that features at home words and architectural elements while also using some very light, nearly cream, brick flag pages.
