"Smile"- Clear Acrylic Album by Tania

Hi everyone, today I have some mini album inspiration for you in the shape of a butterfly!!! I've used a clear acrylic album, exclusive to Scrappingclearly, and you can find more shaped albums here:

These albums work so well, teamed up with a Hambly Screen Print Overlay, (I used 'HONEYCOMB') and some rub ons. (Rhonna Farrer for AUTUMN LEAVES).

On the cover, I've clustered some beautiful, Prima flowers, added some of the rub ons, and my title is from a Heidi Swapp word sticker pack.

For added dimension, I have put the little bird rub ons, onto a transparency sheet first and then cut them out & mounted with foam dots.

This month I am working with the pretty, Heidi Swapp 'Hello Gorgeous' range of papers. I have used them to mat my photographs, and for all of  my little embellishments. (I used my die cutting machine to cut out a heap of banners, tags, hearts and arrows.) 

The alpha stickers are from Prima!

These albums are great, and need minimal embellishments, because you can see all of the layers of the overlay and rub ons through each page!

To finish the album off, I used some paint around the edge of each page to highlight the shape of the butterfly, and tied some seam binding around the hinged rings. I am very happy with the result!

I hope I have inspired you to give the clear albums a go. I think I will be making a few more as presents in the future!!!

See you next time!!! Tania
