I'm working with the Bookshelves Digital Kit - first up, a layout…
While this may look like a fairly complex layout, it's really not. Each month's Club Scrap Digital™ kits comes with a few ‘clusters’ - these clusters are groups of elements that have been carefully created with drop shadows added resulting in a single element that looks like it took you a while to put together! This particular layout is made up of only 5 elements - background, photo, cluster and 2 text elements (the title and the date). I really love this type of layered paper cluster, since it easily adds a lot of complexity and richness to a layout, without having to do a lot of work - it really only tok a few minutes to create this layout - I love the instant gratification!
Next, I created a digital card! I love sharing digital cards because they’re easy to make and quite versatile - you can send them via email or Facebook, or even print them out and turn them into hybrid paper cards!
This one was pretty easy to assemble - after layering a few background pieces, I added the cat bookplate stamp graphic, removed the ‘Ex Libris’ and added the “Thank you” sentiment, and recolored the stamp graphics a nice rich brown. A fiber and globe element finishes this card off quite nicely.
Hope you enjoyed my creations with this awesome kit! Thanks for stopping by!

Ron I always love your photos and how you find the perfect one to place in your digital layouts. The elements in the kit are stunning.
And what a clever fellow, taking out the words from the digi bookplate and adding thank you! Great job!
Awesome page and card, Ron. I actually had to do a double-take on the page above...at first I thought it was a traditional paper page. (Maybe I need more coffee?)
Wonderful page and card, Ron. I love your sunset picture and those embellishments.
Your digi work is just outstanding! Just love that layout and your card is great too. Amazing!
Great card and layout, Ron. I need to carve out some digi playtime!
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
And I plan to imitate this layout and card - with paper.
Beautiful work, Ron.
Beautiful layout, Ron. I'm starting to really love those layered paper clusters too. Really gives a nice look.
Love that cat image, one of my faves ever I think from CS. Nice job!
Great work, Ron! I love how the digi embellies look so 3D.
Very nice card and layout. This kit is a good one, isn't it? The colors and graphics are perfect for so many photos and cards.
Thanks - a great idea for this weeks PSL challenge as well!!
Oh Ron, everything you do is so clever, classy and outstanding! Love what you do with this collection.
I love seeing what you do with the digi kits Ron! Thank you for the inspiration.
Darn Ron...I was hoping those gorgeous stones and doodads linked together were REAL. They look so gorgeous I want to wear them. Wonderful backdrop for your sunset photo and love the "easy" card.
Awesome Ron. Admittedly I have never used clusters!
I sooo love the real life look of the digi kit elements!!
Ron, this is gorgeous! I may have to use your layout as inspiration for a paper one this week!
Wonderful, Ron! Amazing Sunset.
Wonderful layout and love the cat bookplate graphic on the card.
you always make digi look so easy. Maybe someday - but I do love your ideas and lessons.
Ron, you do such great digi work. LOVE the cat bookplate card.
