Black Market Paper Society

by

Okay, this company wins huge in the “cool name” category! I was fortunate enough to score some sheets of this paper and well, I am impressed. Apparently, many others are smitten as well because it is flying off the shelves and local stores have a hard time keeping it in stock…..this, and, the company doesn’t even have a website up yet! I know that Scrapbook.com carries the complete line (that’s where I yanked the pictures from). What intrigues me about this line (especially the Ebony and Alabaster collection) is the quality I’d like to call, “The Little Black Dress Appeal”. I see so many collections that are more fad like than classic timeless design. This collection can be dressed up or down and will lookas good today as they will 50 years down the road. The texture has an air of sophistication and the weight is easy to work with. I am excited to see what they follow up with. Read other reviews here and here.

80’s Inspired Boombox Shaped Mini Album

I was a teen in the 80’s so this totally rad Boombox shaped mini album from Traci really speaks to me! She created a rectangle shaped black acrylic album with rounded corners, adding buttons and a handle on the top with a cover decorated to look like a real boombox with speakers, a tape deck, buttons and more. She used the Totally 80’s collection of products from Simple Stories that has lots of bright pink and teal colors with cool 80’s inspired patterns like black and white check and colorful graphics. There’s also load of fun embellishments like a Walkman, high top sneakers, retro TV, camera, hair spray can and more. 

I had huge hair in the 80’s and am embarrassed to admit how much Aquanet hair spray I used!

Traci has included her totally tubular signature flaps and pockets in the album too for some radical interactive elements too.

Visit the Artsy Album blog to learn more about this bodacious mini album project.
