countdown to christmas

 

Every day for the next few weeks we’ll be bringing you inspiration for christmas… in the form of cards, layouts, mini albums and gift ideas so be sure to check back regularly and see what our talented design team comes up with.

To kick it off Janine has used the stunning Scrapping Clearly Christmas Tree to create this beautiful album for her new born son.  Janine loves to use Hambly Transparencies when working with transparent albums and she has also used the lovely clear border stickers which are also perfect to be seen from both sides of the acrylic.

Finally she strategically used the Hambly Christmas stickers and some hand-cut flourishes from the SEI Christmas Mint range to finish off the album.

 

product focus: acrylic albums

 

Although sometimes tricky to photograph, there's something magical about an acrylic album that makes you want to look and touch it over and over again. For this challenge Mel used a 4" X 6" Scrapping Clearly mini album and various papers and punch outs from the Amber Road range (Pink Paislee). The small size is perfect for scrapbooking all those mini photos and each finished page helps compliment the next one, with little snippets showing through the acrylic album along the way.

On the front cover Mel chose to add some dimension by adhering the Twiddleybitz Love Bird (lightly sponged with ink), which goes beautifully with the autumn theme throughout the album.

weekend inspiration: scrapping clearly

introducing one of our newest brands..

Scrappingclearly is an Australian scrapbook supplier - specialising in acrylic albums.

Scrappingclearly albums contain clear, acrylic pages to which you can create depth, dimension and beautiful works. The acrylic pages can be embellished with not only papers but supplies such as rub-ons, stamps, florals, stickers, bling and many other scrapbooking supplies. You can also try doodling with permanent markers straight onto the pages!

The albums are made from acrylic - with holes drilled in for your convenience (so you don't have to worry about breaking or cracking).

The effects you can produce are endless; you can even create fantastic layering effects that can only be created by using these clear pages.

Obviously we can't wait to get our hands on them to play with and inspire and share here.  In the meantime here are some wonderful images of examples of their different album shapes and sizes, from a very talented line up of design team members, to whet your appetite and perhaps kickstart your creativity this weekend.
