Starting in January CK Media will publish a digital magazine called Paper Crafts & Scrapbooking. Current subscribers will receive two digital issues for each month left on their paper subscriptions.

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.

I don’t do digital stamping or scrapbooking and I have a hard time reading digital mags, so no, i don’t thing this is the way to go.
I’m sad to see it go, but not at all surprised.
I hate everything going digital. I like holding something in my hand. I like being able to do a project outside, which I can’t do if it is digital. So now, if there is a storm, I will not have access to any projects. Our electricity goes out all the time. And if a companies computer goes off line, nothing is available. Couple months ago, it took 2 weeks to get a paper signed by my drs office, because their computers were being worked on and they couldn’t get into my file. This sucks.
Sad and angry to see it go. Digital is NOT the way to go. I like to look through my paper magazine on the couch, the bed, or even in the bathtub…can’t do that with a digital device. Seriously. What the heck is up with this world??!!
