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!

5 Digital Layouts, Featuring Blending Modes in Photoshop

I've been running around a lot this week and didn't get a chance to post! (My little brother got married, my girls were in a school play, I've been meeting up with old friends, and catching up on errands that were long overdue!) I've got a big pile of layouts to scan, but here are a few newer digital pages for you all!

9 Layouts, 1 Digital Hybrid Card, and Tons of Free ALSB Instructions!

I just had to share a few more creations before posting more FFC Exclusive kits!

The first is a Digital Hybrid Invitation that I made with the brand new Club Scrap After 5 Digital Kit... Log into http://clubscrapchat.com tonight at 7 PM Central for a live online class with Jacqueline Carney, using this kit!

After that, I have a bunch of layouts to share using my favorite ALSB instructions from Club Scrap's Pro Scrapbooking League Scrapper Bowl Scramble Challenge! In under two days, Club Scrap challenged us to create as many layouts as we could, using any of the 28 new ALSB designs that they released for the challenge! Download all of the layouts for free at http://www.clubscrap.com/08PSLScramble.pdf! In this post I'm just using the instructions for layouts 11, 12, 15, and 16!
