It's my life: Acrylic Mini Album featuring Cupid from Pink Paislee

I know that working with an acrylic album can be a little intimidating but hopefully I can give you some tips in the this post that will help you with your next acrylic album.

I cut out my title using vinyl. The Silhouette cut all the details out so smoothly. On the other side I applied adhesive behind the vinyl so my scalloped oval would stick but not adhesive would show through.

Here you can see that I cut out an picture to place on the other side of the scalloped oval shape.

One the rest of the pages I actually cut patterned paper for each page. I used the same template just leaving the length longer on each successive page. I cut the paper so that the scallops on the acrylic album were not covered retaining the look of the acrylic album but making it easier to hide all the adhesive. I loved this quote. I hid the adhesive on this underneath the gems and the button.

The blue heart paper is actually adhered to the page. The above page show the back side of this double sided paper. Using double sided paper is super handy when working with acrylic.

More vinyl and double sided patterned paper. I attached it to the back side of the album just to give the front pages more of the look and feel of the acrylic style. For the edge of this page I cut out a scalloped circle and then cut it to fit on the page. That way the edge of my picture wasn't so noticeable. Gems on the scallops was a nice extra touch.

Lots of scallops and gems. I just love the look. All of the materials used to decorate this album are from Pink Paislee's Cupid line.

Almost the last page. This time I cut out the vinyl and put it on the front of the page but picture on the back of the last acrylic page.

It's hard to tell but I sprayed some Smooch Spritz in Silver on the frame. It helped it match with the glitter sticker letters. Red letters from Making Memories and black letters from Pink Paislee.

You can find the Silhouette, the Maya Road album and the Cupid line from Pink Paislee at Scrapbook Mania. Don't forget to stop by the blog to check out the class calendar. We've got a lot of fun things planned for this month.

I hope you enjoyed this album. I know you probably have seen this pictures more than once but they just went so good with this paper and theme that I had to use them again. I guess I need to get Miss Lexi out for another photo shoot soon. :)
