Happy Valentine's day to everyone and I am back after missing for a couple of days. I am so happy yesterday as I managed to finish my first ever acrylic album which has been pending for almost three months. The problem is, every time I am done with one page I will put the album aside and will only touch it a couple of weeks later and so on and that is why it took me so long to finish the album. This album should be my last project for 2010 but I can't make it due to...I don't know??? However I am jumping happily yesterday as I am so happy with the outcome.
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?)
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: 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 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!
You know on my previous post I did an album for a friend, bought a box to fit the album unfortunately the box that I bought can't fit the album. I am kind of lazy to run to Daiso again, instead I found this empty box at home an I decided to use it for the album.
I coloured the box (top part) in white colour and stamped it with Donna Downey foam stamp and added some colours. First, I wanted to embellish the box to the max, but with aprons to work with, with my girl screaming for attention and so on...I opt to just do the simple one for this box. I hope this is fine.
