8 Layouts using 10 of Spades ALSB Idea Deck Volume 2

Here is another multiple layout set, this time using the 10 of Spades card from the ALSB Idea Deck Volume 2! Each pair of layouts uses only 4 sheets of 12x12 paper plus 1 sheet of 8.5x11 paper (or three photo mattes)!

When we visited the Ben & Jerry's factory, in Vermont, the kids couldn't get enough of the cows that were grazing past the flavor graveyard! Luckily we managed to remind them that the fence might be electric before they got too close!

My son loves spotting cool cars everywhere that we go... yet somehow it took a trip to Montreal to see our first Smart Car on the road! Of course, it was in his favorite color, lime green!

No, sadly we didn't make these wallets, but we took phoos since we loved them and want to create some! But first we have to start getting paper cartons of milk and juice! These very cool wallets are available to buy in the gift shop at the Montreal Botanical Gardens.

My cousins had a blast showing one of their local playgrounds off to my children! We laughed, we swam, we climbed, and we even hunted in the marsh for cattails!







Bridging to Juniors ALSB Vol2 10 of Spades by Neith Juch
Club Scrap: ALSB Idea Deck Vol 2 - 10 of Spades; Mirror Mirror 11/09 - Robin's Egg Blue, Light Celery, UM Stamps;
Ranger: Adirondack Pigment Ink Pad - Espresso;
K & Co: Brownie Scrap Pad; Marcella by K - File Folder;

We had such a beautiful bridging ceremony for our troop as the girls progressed to Juniors! They each drew pictures of a favorite Brownie memory and these images, plus photos of the artist during brownie events, were in a slide show right before we called them up to cross them all over! For this layout, I paired up Club Scrap's Mirror Mirror kit with one reversible official Girl Scout print and made just a few extra cuts to help frame the artwork... And added in the printed folder that wasn't part of the Girl Scout line, but matched beautifully! (I've got tiny reprints of the girls' bridging certificates to tuck into the file folder on this layout!)



Easter 2009 Digital Layout by Neith Juch
Club Scrap Digital: Memoirs 7/09 - Plain2, Tag01, Tag03, BBFStamp7; Perfect Ten 6/09 - DBG4; Inked Edges Volume 1 - 4x5, 4x6c, 8x10a, 12x2, 12x12a, 12x12c;
PSE: Altered Hues/Saturation, Layer Blending Modes, Opacity;

This layout is indeed digital, but, by using transparent papers you can create a similar layout! I loved the quiet colors in the main photo and wanted to really set it off, so I took it a step further by creating three layers of the same photograph and desaturated a top layer of the photo, then used the Screen layer blending mode on that layer... then I used the Multiply layer blending mode on the middle layer and adjusted the top two layers' opacity and color until I was satisfied. Then I applied the same effects to the smaller images that share one matte.

Museum Visits, 1 Paper and 3 Digital Layouts

We usually keep very busy during the Summer with museum, zoo, and park visits . . . But this year we're been busy tending to sick children each week! Here's hoping that this new trend is over! Who would expect the flu and bronchitis during the Summer! Right now everyone seems on the mend and I even managed to find a little time to scrap during Club Scrap's PSL Summer Camp (Pro Scrapping League, where teams compete to score points by creating paper layouts, cards, or digital creations and earn prizes and discounts each week)!



Club Scrap: Perfect Ten - ALSB #8 (I used the same base cardstock, but with prints from the original kits instead of the Perfect Ten prints); Private Eye 10/08 - Green Print, Stencil; Gimme a Ring 1/09 - Bisque Print, Dark Maize;
Ranger: Distress Ink Pad - Brushed Corduroy; Ink Applicator Tool;

Uatchet really enjoyed scoping out the artifacts at the Boston Museum of Science with the magnifying glasses! I loved the look of this layout in the Perfect Ten Special Edition Kit, but couldn't bear to give up the prints, quite yet! Instead, I created the layout using the same ALSB instructions and the same colors of cardstock, but with their original kits' prints instead of the new Perfect Ten designs. I have a few more layouts coming that were approached in a similar manner!

We took a few friends with us to the Boston Children's Museum on a Friday night and had a blast! I still can't believe that Nekhebet did a slam dunk!

Sebek and Nekhebet teamed up to examine the insects embedded in amber at the Harvard Museum of Natural History!

After taking a free watercolor and chalk workshop at the Peabody Essex Museum, Sebek immediately needed new supplies for the week away from home! White the girls played, met new friends, and learned new things, Sebek kept sneaking off to create!
