Trendwatch–clear albums
Clear albums are hot, hot, hot these days! So you can imagine how excited I was to open my November Home Scrap Club kit and find a Maya Road scalloped clear mini-album…be still my heart! I had the perfect photos from my daughter’s 4th birthday to go with it, and while they didn’t match the kit papers, I knew this was what I needed to use this album for.
What can be intimidating to many people about clear albums is what to do with the reverse side. For me, the answer was simple–I cropped my photos to the same size so I wouldn’t have to look at the back of a photo!
Another idea could be to only scrap the front side of the clear pages…or to embrace the ability to see your embellishments through more than one layer.
Oh yeah, another great thing about this album? I still have 4 pages left! I could make another album with them, but I think I might try to incorporate them into my traditional layouts. Either way, this clear album was good for an afternoon of fun, and preserved a special memory of my little princess.
this is truely fabulous!

Love this album! Thanks for showing how it can be done. Did you paint the edges of the pages with acrylic paint?
