Cosmo Cricket albums

[Shawna]

Have you guys seen these cute little blackboard albums (http://www.qbaroo.com/cosmocricket/main.cfm?categoryoid=1&productoid=25) made by Cosmo Cricket? These are just a few of the ones they have - Jack, Abby, Ruby, Kate and Ethan! I'm dying to find one of these and make something with it, especially the Jack album!

[BrattyMeg]

I THINK perhaps there might be some new albums coming soon :)

[Becca Bonneville]

[Shawna]

Ooh I hope there are some new albums coming to the shoppe! I have an album addiction too Meg! So you are not alone on that either lol! I won't say how many I have either but it's lots ;)

[Shawna]

Oh Manda you tease!! I'm good at keeping secrets so you can tell me ;)

[MandaBean]

Oh Manda you tease!! I'm good at keeping secrets so you can tell me ;)

What were we talking about again?? :p

[Amber1279]

I have seen them at my LSS .. but I have not grabbed one yet. I have HUGE album addictiong and my BF says I have to use the ones I have before I buy more ..... so I keep hiding the ones I keep buying (SHHHH)

[Traci Reed]

La La La La La? I REALLY like a couple of those ;)

[mrs_jb]

Those are adorable! I have a serious addiction as well! LOL

[aggiefamily]

Those might just bring me back over to the dark side.

[Sari]

Those are really cute!

[Penny Springmann]

Cute, cute, cute! :)

[Susan Bartolini]

Yeah....new albums? What new albums? I don't know ANYTHING about new albums. ;)

Those are available at Funky Playground now... I hope they come here soon too, but I thought I 'd let you know in the meantime where you can get them! (now that I'm a hybrid girl for FPD!)

[ColleenSwerb]

I'm pretty much obsessed with allt he blackboard albums. Especially Abby, the half bracket one. NEED it.

[Shawna]

I'll look for them at my LSS next time I'm there, but I'm hoping they come here too!

Haha - when I saw this thread I immediately thought of you, Colleen!

They're at my LSS and they look fab! I just can't justify buying it right now (I have a TON of blank albums stacked upstairs waiting to be jazzed up before I buy more.)

[my4boys]

I just saw those last week at Archivers but held back buying any...I did get these though
6x6 Prima Hybrid Embossed album
http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd16/my4boys_01/imagephp.jpg
3 x 5 Acrylic Tag album
http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd16/my4boys_01/ex211scaloptag.jpg
2x3 Acrylic Stamp albums
http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd16/my4boys_01/ex216wallets.jpg

The acrylic albums were NOT cheap so I stuck with the small ones for now...I though they would make cute gifts....The Prima embossed ones were 50% off of 8 bucks and they are REALLY thick too......I think I got 3 of those....got 6 more tag albums too that were super cheap-o!!!!!

Has anyone bought those acrylic albums yet...I have been waiting for them to arrive for a long time and now that they are here I WANT THEM ALL !!!!!

I will get me some Cosmo Cricket ones soon....hopefully from HERE:)

[Shawna]

Those are really cool albums Christine! I've seen the Prima ones before but not those little acrylic ones! I just got in the mail today an 8x8 acrylic tab album that I'm going to be working on in the next few days & it is really cool looking! I've never worked with acrylic before so I'm a little intimidated by it lol!

Me too Shawna, that is why I have not started yet !!!!! I just am not sure what would be the best adhesive to use either..I am thinking if I scratch it up a bit that modge podge should work really well but I am not too sure!!!

[scrapmonkey]

I'll have to post pictures of my acrylic album here, even though there was no digital involved. I used regular adhesive, but on the flip side where you could see the adhesive, I would put a flower, another paper, or a ribbon to cover those. I'm taking the Book of the Month (Pinecone Press) classes and this month was the Clear Book.
The acrylic albums at Archivers are made by Scrapworks, BTW.

[Amber1279]

there were 2 examples at my LSS with the acrylic albums ... she used paint to hide some adhesive spots and then used glue dots when it might show thru.

[pbumbaca]

I am dying to do an acrylic album. I only have the frosted ones tho. Here is a fabulous acrylic album a friend of mine made:

http://penny-candy.blogspot.com/2007/11/really-fun-new-project.html

She has a link to instructions on how to make them on her blog too. :)

I love that half bracket album and the fact that they are black! I will have to save my pennies so I can get a couple of those for sure!

That album is fabulous.....I may just have to go buy my own acrylic as well, I am sure it would be cheaper than these albums too....I have a scroll saw but not sure if it would cut that stuff???????

Oh wow her album is amazing Pam! But I tried the link to the instructions and the link seems to be broken. I tried looking around that site to see if I could find the instructions but couldn't.

[meganmecrazy]

OH Yes, I saw those CC albums at Funky Playground and LOVED them and was actually going to ask if they were going to get some here at Sweet Shoppe!! :)

[ColleenSwerb]

I really hope Robin gets them here. I do have one sitting in my cart at scrapbook.com though. Decisions decisions..... :p

Dear Robin,

I'll love you even MORE if you bring Blackboard Albums and Acrylic Albums to the sweetest spot on earth.

Love,
~Col :thumbup:

[Traci Reed]

I don't think acrylic albums make sense for hybrid stuff since we paste stuff on top...I love them though!

[kscwgirl]

Me either.. but I looooooooooooove those black CC albums. Love them. :thumbup:

[ColleenSwerb]

Now I'm gonna be on a mission to make it work :p

It'd be hybrid by messing with fun edges on the pictures to adhere them though. So I still win.

[Traci Reed]

no you don't...you just THINK you win :P

hahahaha

[BrattyMeg]

You could insert a digi page inbetween the acrylic pages :P There...we can make it work lol

[Traci Reed]

Meg's always out to get me :P

[ColleenSwerb]

LOL!

[BrattyMeg]

actually I didn't see your post when I posted...it wasn't there yet..

bawahaha but now that you mention it...

[scrapmonkey]

Col, I'm going to try to make it work, too, with acrylic. I've already got one idea I'm going to try this weekend (he, he, he)....

[ColleenSwerb]

Woot! Lol! I want to get some alcohol inks to play with now too.

[juliemarie]

I've got one of the Cosmo Blackboard albums I planned on working on it tonight with paper stuff. I think the half bracket shapes are so cute! I also have an acrylic album but haven't decided how to use it.

[meems]

oh I saw those black ones Archivers on my one trip there. They looked really cool. I was sooo close to buying one. I couldn't think of what do with one so I didn't get any.

i luuuurve acrylic too. And I believe they could work with digi.

but something tells me I should do something with the 10 little chipboardy things I have right now . . .

Christine, did you see that Archivers is having an acrylic album workshop? I so want to go. I just don't know if any of the times are workable for me. . .

Meems, Yes I did but I have no time for workshops now that baseball has started....we play almost every other night and Saturdays.....

MEG, I am totally on the same page about smooshing a double sided layout in-between two acrylic pcs....however, how would you keep the 2 pcs together ???? Would you use metallic tape or something???

That's how the sample album I saw at archivers was..had a cardstock layout in between two acrylic pieces..I wanna say they put holes in the LO and put it on the rings but i'm not positive

Shawna can you try this link:

If not let me know and I'll send you the pdf.

Col, you will love playing with alcohol inks.

[BrattyMeg]

Christine..the albums were like this with rings..they had a LO inbetween the pages Album (http://flickr.com/photos/9962368@N05/1087557079/)

[ColleenSwerb]

You would just glue the pages back to back, punch some holes, and put it on the rings. Easy peasy.

I decided to drive like 45 minutes out to a different scrapbook store this weekend to see what they have. Since Jordan isn't home this weekend I don't have to sneak anything in the house :p If they don't have any acrylic for decent prices I'm gonna go ahead and place my order at scrapbook.com

[aggiefamily]

I broke down and bought the Kate Album (scallop) today. Now I am staring at it and not sure what to do. It sure is cute. I might just leave it as is.

Pam can you pretty please send me the pdf? I tried that link too and its not working either, maybe cause I'm not registered there?

The acrylic album I have has 3 holes and the metal jump rings so it would be super easy to take the pages apart and put the regular pages in where you want them. Plus on my album the inside pages each have a rounded tab so those would be good for making sections to the album!

Maybe once you guys get married (and have been for awhile) Jordan will become more like Rob lol, he doesn't even bother asking what's in the bags I carry into the house anymore! So I don't have to sneak anything in now lol!

[meems]

anyone see the acrylic album in the latest Scrapbooks Etc? I thought it was so cute

(i feel like a loser now b/c I don't have photos on flickr)

Mimi are you talking about the one on pg. 117-118? I saw that one, it looks like the inside pages are made from transparencies but the cover looks like acrylic. Their instructions and supply list is kinda vague though :mad:
