All the photos in this album mainly our candid photos and I have no time to develop the latest photos. But that's ok, there will always be next time and there will always be tomorrow. (Insyaallah). Each pages has a clear plastic sheet which I sewn the edges. I am so happy now I am sharing with you all the photos that I took yesterday night. Here presenting my latest creation for February 2011 and my first ever acrylic album title "true love". (please note that there will be plenty of photos to see at the bottom)
my album cover: I painted the 2nd page with Banana Turquoise from Americana that is how I get the base of this album in turquoise colour and embellished the front cover to desire...which has Webster's Pages flowers, some strip of punchanella, swirls, heart and wings chipboard which I cut using my new Cuttlebug, key, lace, door knob and whatever you can see...
I put peacock feathers and it is kind of blends together with the Webster's Pages flowers and the rest.
(can you see the plastic sheet on this front cover?)
(can you see the plastic sheet on this front cover?)
for me it is "over the top" look, but I kind of like it!
My trademark for my albums - added some spools, 7Gypsies handle which I embossed using turquoise colour and coincidentally matched with the front cover and embellished the side with yarns, ribbons, lace, muslin cloth and etc. Thanks to my swap buddies for all the yarns and ribbons.
love this Webster's Pages flowers and the peacock feathers
you can see one of the pages, I attached some old Kodak films rolls
Page 2: bird cage painted in white/pearl colours and I put some dangling beads
Page 2: I used my vintage typewriter and type those journal and some words and can you see next to the Webster's Pages patterned paper I painted another yellow colour on top of the turquoise
Page 2: Webster's Pages patterned paper on the right side, some bird cage and body form from the Hambly sheets, can you spot the tailor measuring tape (I love using that tape to embellish my layouts or albums)
Page 2: top of 2nd page
Page 3: punched some holes and weaved in the netting material at the top part. (can you see the plastic sheet on top of this page and look at the edges....some pink swirls stitching)

Page 8
Page 9: Painted the last page (page 10) with black paint and the effect is at Page 9, in this page I just pasted bits and pieces of ribbons that I have and put the stirrer on this page. Thanks to Lynnda for the ribbon flower.
the last cover (page 10): I painted black colour base of this page, put some Jo Sonja's crackle medium after dry I painted red on top and it immediately cracked. I just love the effect and pasted the old black record on this page. Handmade sign at the bottom.
I think this is the most "OTT" album so far that I did and I just love this album as I have used a lot of techniques, colours and I put a lot of notions as well. What do you think? Not your taste? but it is mine! Thanks for looking and have a great week ahead!
