I {heart} Club Scrap!

If you've followed my blog or visited either of my sites, you know I'm a huge fan of Club Scrap®! Club Scrap was the first (and IMHO the best!) monthly scrapbooking club around! The fine folks at Club Scrap produce awesome paper and digital scrapbooking, cardmaking, rubber stamping, and project-making kits each month. You can learn more about them and the different kit options by clicking here.

And I'm thrilled to announce that Club Scrap now has an official blog! Please take a moment and visit Club Scrap Creates! - and enjoy the inspiration!

I Love Paper and Digital Scrapbooking

I love paper. There, I said it. I love everything about paper - and I especially love Club Scrap® Paper. It looks awesome, and feels wonderful and I can make so many wonderful things with it.

But as much as I love paper, I also love Digital Scrapbooking. It's a different kind of creativity and just as there are things that I can do with paper that I can do with 'digi,' there are some things that I can only do with my digital tools. So, I do both - I work with paper when that muse inspires me, and I also work with my supply of awesome Club Scrap Digital™ kits and Photoshop on my Mac. It's the best of both worlds and I'm so glad I can do both.

Here are a few of my favorite digital layouts:

Mykonos, Greece (CSD™ Cyprus Digital Kit)

Venice Window (CSD™Solstice Kit)

Block Island, RI (CSD™ Castaway Kiy)

Scenes of Mykonos (CSD™ Simply Avant Kit)

As a matter of full disclosure, I'm a member of the Club Scrap® Digital Artists Team.

Another Club Scrap Project

Last month I made the April Club Stamp Project - the first time I've actually made a project the same month it came out! I was just so excited to get this terrific project - an organizer for ink pads, reinkers and foam applicators. I haven't finished decorating the front of it yet, but I hope to do that very soon (life just always seems to get in the way of the fun stuff!).

I will definitely be making more of these (since I've got more than 12 ink pads) to help me get more organized.

Desk Calendar

This is a photo of a desk calendar that I made for my desk at work. It's from the Club Stamp December 2010 kit, Vogue.




I really like how it came out and it was quite easy to make. Thanks to Kay Williamson from Club Scrap for designing such a great and useful project.
