[4peasinourpod]

 I am just finishing up my other class...so I will be here in a couple minutes to show you how to make this

[SarahA]

 Yay- it's what I've been waiting for all weekend!

[jaziscrapper]

 I'm ready.

I have a question:

Do you adhere the pp to the pages first and then go back and embellish them?

[Heidi1154]

 I am here!!!

[Hudson]

 At first glance it almost looked like a flip flop album --- this is really cute.

[4peasinourpod]

 I'm ready.

yes.

Since we are using double sided paper, this is very important!

[jaziscrapper]

 I've not used paper on an acrylic album, so I'm very interested to see how this is done.

[CaughtULokN2]

 This is si super cute.  I can not wait to see how it is done.  I have 2 acrylic albums I wnat to do, but am afraid of messing up!

[4peasinourpod]

 OK...here we go!

I am a firm believer that if you are doing an ACRYLIC album....some acrylic should show through...otherwise, go chipboard

So, to start off, I traced the page onto a chipboard piece, that I got in my shipment from ACOT.  I then cut out a template about a half inch or so smaller.

Ah!  Here is the secret I've been looking for! 

[Shanscraps]

 woohoo....

 I then used this template to cut the paper for the first page.  I chose the striped paper.

Now....I adhere the paper to the BACKSIDE of the front page.  This means that you are putting your adhesive on the stripes, and adhering from beind.  This protects the album, as the cover then is the acrylic.

Does that make sense?

[jaziscrapper]

 Hmm...interesting idea.

I'm with ya so far!

 makes sense

 Next, I took the "summer" oval sticker, and centered that.  I then picked a flower sticker (they are 3D and SO cool!), added a Kaiser pearl, and stuck that on.  I then took the imaginisce paper flowers, layered them, added a button and a rhinestone from my stash, and put that in the lower right.

Now...if you are wondering my adhesive of choice for this, it is the tiny glue dots for the paper, and Scrappy Glue for the embellishments.

gotcha 

[SarahA]

 You have an ATG, right? Does that work alright for these- that's what I have. Plus some Tombow, too!

[4peasinourpod]

 After I did that, I decided that I wanted the date on there, and used the date rubons from Little Yellow Bicycle.  My daughter Kiley's birthday is May 31, so I am going to give this to her to finish.  :-DThe rubons are GREAT.
