Clear Scraps Blog Hop

Yay, it's time for another blog hop and I am hurriedly typing up this post. You see, the last time we had a hop I lost electricity for 12 hours, had a plan to come home from the Portland Trailblazer game and get my post written and prescheduled to post in a couple hours. Well, by the time we got home...no power and all of my photos for said post were still on my camera. Ugh! Now, flash forward to tonight. Another Trailblazer game and once again plans to get this post up when I got home. We're home and we do have power, but we also have freezing rain, our street is a sheet of ice (yes, witnessed first hand as we fishtailed it around the corner heading to our house) and there is a big accident j that just occurred a few houses down. There are firetrucks, ambulances and flares. They are turning all of the traffic around. So, long story short...I ran in here to get this posted before something else happened and I couldn't!!!!

As many of you know CHA-W (the Craft and Hobby Association winter tradeshow) is just a couple of weeks away. Clear Scraps is releasing a lot of new and fun things. The owners also owned another company that featured cast acrylic and they have now combined the two companies under the Clear Scraps name. This cast acrylic is different from the Clear Scraps acrylic in that it is much more rigid and sturdy, you can't punch, cut, emboss, or sew through cast acrylic. But, it is very cool because you can do things with it that the other acrylic isn't "tough" enough for, Such as make a 12x12 shaped album that has clear hinges and posts with normal refill pages!!!!!!!!!! 

You should have arrived here from Elise's blog, if not head back to the Clear Scraps blog and start at the beginning of the list of designers' blogs. You'll be getting a sneak peak of brand new Clear Scraps products that will be available on the Clear Scraps website soon.....

The project I am showing you tonight is one of those new cast acrylic albums that I mentioned above....I can't begin to express how cool these are!

First, no I didn't sew on this cast acrylic, I sewed the paper before adhering it to the album. Notice the little airplane? I stamped that on with StazOn ink. The orange mist is sprayed on the backside of the cover and then I used Super Seal over the top to keep it from smearing. 

Now onto your next stop........the very talented Rita is up next.
