The Clear Book by Pine Cone Press

by

I have been hearing a lot about a new book called ” The Clear Book” by pine cone press which features everything you can do with clear scrapbooking materials.

Clear Scraps mentions it in their blog as they have 4 albums published, they also noted a error in a designers name where credit was not given to the right person.

So as I tried to find out about this new book which even made it as Book of the month in April at Scrapbook.meetup.com

As it is quite new and illusive online I decided to go straight to the source and go to pine cone press to check it out.  Only to find that 3 of the links on their website (the important ones)Â Shopping Cart, Books and Kits are all linking to a crappy link site.

So I am unable to report anything more on this book…. I will try and get my hands on one to give it a proper review meantime check your scrapbook store shelfs.

If anyone would like to share their reviews on this book (or any other book) add it to the comments section.

  1. I am the designer whose name was not properly credited by Pinecone Press, but I MOST CERTAINLY appreciate Clear Scraps posting the credit to my LOVE album on their blog! Most appreciated Janet and Jackie! Thanks!

    I can definitely say that “The Clear Book” is a wonderful book packed with many ideas and techniques to inspire all those scappers who desire to jump into the “clear” world!

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.
