Happy Memorial Day everyone! Hope you have had a safe and enjoyable weekend! I'm here today to share two patriotic projects I did in honor of the holiday! First up, I used the Half Scallop Send It Clear Card and colored the acrylic pieces with Red Pepper Alcohol Ink from Ranger.
After covering my card with patterned paper, I added a rosette and a Clear Shape Small Star in the center. I used Art Anthology's Dimension Crystal in Blizzard to create a border around the edge of the star.
On the left flap of my card, I used the 12 Inch Brick Wall Mascil and misted over the top with Dylusions in White Linen to create this fun effect.
Here is a peek at the inside of my card:
Next up is a layout I created using the 12x12 Acrylic Sheet and another Clear Shape Small Star.
This time, I colored my star with alcohol ink to give it dimension. I also placed a white doily behind so the red would pop out even more!
You can see additional photos by going to my blog. Thanks for stopping by today! We honor those that have given the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom! -Jennifer
additional products used: patterned paper and stickers: Authentique; chipboard letters and journaling pen: American Crafts; decorative pins: Maya Road; chipboard star and arrow: Pink Paislee; cardstock: Bazzill; misc: doily, sequins, thread.
Have you all tried using one of the large acrylic expression on a layout? Today, I would like to share a layout where I've used a large acrylic "Create" by Clear Scraps as the title.
I know that most of these large acrylic expressions are more than 12 inches in length. This actually makes it fun when you try to fit them into a layout. You could create all kind of styles and design using them.
This layout is just a simple example. You could go bolder and use it as part of the design of the layout. I think I will create one in future to share it here.
Here is a close-up picture of how I've decorated the acrylic expression.
I've covered part of it with pattern paper and rub-ons. Then, I detail it with trinkets, wraps and brads. Decorating the expression itself is so much fun! Try it!

Hello everyone, Elena is here with you to share a summer Layout, inspired by bright and yummy colors.
I used many layers of paper strips there and decided to add some acrylic borders. I cut Circle Punch into 2 parts and painted it with Marbling inks.
and made some stampint on it with Staz-On ink
I placed the borders under the layers , and it looks like the lace.
To add more transparency, I colored the tag from Mini Tag Album with alcohol ink, adheed the patterned paper and stamped on the tag.
and I topped it with my Title.
Are you ready for summer scrapping too?
Hello Clear Scraps fans! It's Irene here. Today, I would like to share a carriage mini album which I've created using Clear Scraps acrylic carriage album. In this album, I've also used some acrylic "best friends" which are rub-ons and overlay. These two elements are perfect combinations with acrylic as it helps to maintain the glossiness and translucent effect of acrylic.
Here are some details on the cover.
Here are some pages inside this album
This mini album is perfect for these pictures of Chloe taken with the princesses at Disneyland. Hope you all like this album and if you have any pictures like these, do not hesitate to try using this carriage album.

As the school year comes to an end and summer sports begin, I have a project for all the teachers, coaches and team moms out there. I have the privilege of coaching Jr High and High School Cheerleading, as well as a High School Dance team. I love giving the girls something to the remember the year by, but this can get pretty expensive when I need 25 or 30 of them!! And to make them something, I need something that can go together pretty quickly. Clear Scraps to the rescue!!!
Love is….
Hello my Clear Scraps family. Today I wanted to share with
you a very special frame that I made last year with our XL expression word
LOVE. It has a special meaning to me because I have come to be witness to what
LOVE means to me in my life. Four and half years ago I lost my mother and when
I thought I would not be able to breath, God took my breath away with His amazing
LOVE. I have come to realize that when we lose someone very special it is so
amazing how the LOVE stays here with us. Even though we no longer see them in
the physical form of this world, the LOVE we have for each other continues and
never goes away. If anything it grows stronger.
I love that! I believe
this is also God’s LOVE for us as well. There is nothing we can do to make Him LOVE
us more and nothing we can do to make Him LOVE us less. It is here to stay,
never fading… So for all of you who have lost someone special, know that you
get to keep the LOVE you have for each other on this side of Heaven right here
with you. It stays forever!
Thank you my Clear Scraps family for allowing me to share
this special project with you!
Love,
Susan Frase
Owner
Take the Expression word http://www.clearscraps.com/product_p/csltlove.htm
and lay it on your paper trace the LOVE word and cut it out. Next adhere the
paper to the back of the Love expression word after you peel the film from both
sides. Be sure to use small amount of Zip Dry (solvent base adhesive) on the
front of the acrylic word LOVE I used timber brown Staz-On to distress the outside
edges of the word. Then I finished with Viva décor glitter pens and dark brown
pearl pen, embellished with ribbon and mounted in a cheap wooden frame.

Good morning everyone!
Angi here with a fun girlie scrapbook idea!
I have tons of photos of my daughters. I'm putting some in this new album. I used the Clear Scraps 8 x 8 Tabbed Chipboard Album to make it.
I used an old greeting card to decorate the front.
The girl image was so perfect for this project and I got to recyle too.
Here are some of my favorite pages!
Be sure to check out the Clear Scraps store for loads of fun products.
Happy Crafting!

Hello once again fellow crafters! Kay here presenting one of my latest layouts. In keeping with May's theme of celebrating Mother's Day I decided to scrap this photo of me & my son taken when he was just 2 days old. This photo was taken at the hospital and I had absolutely no makeup and hadn't even combed my hair! Let's just say I'm very grateful for having the capability of turning any color photo into a black & white one! Thank you Photoshop!
With or without me looking my best--this photo holds a very special place in my heart because it was one of the very first times that I was able to hold my son!
For this page I've used a 12x12 Acrylic Sheet as the base for my page & an XL Acrylic Heart Shape.
I gave texture to the acrylic heart by applying alcohol inks along the edge. I used a combination of purple, blue & a little bit of yellow alcohol inks. Then with a small paint brush I spread a bit of clear dry adhesive along the border & applied Diamond Dust to the adhesive while still wet. This was the end result. These two steps ensured that my large acrylic heart stood out on my layout which is what I wanted.
I used stamps on this page as well...although I did not stamp them directly onto my page. I stamped the images onto a transparency with permanent ink (StazOn), cut them out & adhered them where I wanted the stamped images with a clear dry adhesive.
In keeping with the transparent nature of this layout, I've printed this quote onto a transparency, cut out the sentences and adhered it to the acrylic base with clear dry adhesive.
As always a big thank you for stopping by today. Enjoy the rest of the week.
