When Julia asked me if I wanted to design an album for the blog. I jumped at the chance! Can you blame me? I could choose any album I wanted. What a fantastic opportunity to “play” with the new Bo Bunny Edgy Albums (clear and black) and one of the new lines!
Even better, my oldest son turned 8 on Monday. I couldn’t think of a better way to show him how thankful I am for the opportunity to be his mother. I’m not quite sure how I was so lucky to have him as my first-born, but I must have done SOMEthing good. It’s been so much fun looking through pictures and seeing how much he’s grown. It really hasn’t been that long!
I hope you enjoy this album as much as I do! I’ve added instructions at the bottom of this post so you can make one too.
Step 1: Choose your products. What is your theme? Is there a particular color scheme you’d like to focus on? It doesn’t matter what it is, you just need to narrow down your options.
I chose the new Bo Bunny “It’s My Party” line
Step 2: Combine chipboard and acrylic album. I used all 4 acrylic album pages and only 3 of the chipboard pages. Use as many or as few as you’d like. I’m saving the remaining 3 pages to use on layouts.
Step 3: Lay out your papers: to get a feel for how they will look on the album. Make sure you alternate patterns and colors.
Step 4: Adhere paper to album: I designed this album so that the adhesive on the acrylic is hidden. You can use the same adhesive for the chipboard and acrylic. My favorite liquid adhesive is Tombow Liquid Mono Adhesive (green lid). I apply to glue to paper, just rub with your fingers to keep it from warping. You can also use Modge Podge, Blue Roll-on Tombow Mono Adhesive, or Double Stick tape.
Step 5: Ink: Staz On ink must be used on acrylic. Any other ink will wipe off. I inked all edges (including edges of photos and acrylic pages)
Step 6: Embellish: Embellish with Bo Bunny rub-ons, Bo Bunny chipboard accents, Bo Bunny brads, photos, bling, felt, etc.
Step 7: Bind: You can bind it with metal rings (as I did) or tie ribbon through the holes.
They double & triple-teamed him, he hit his head on the floor twice, ended up on the floor too many times to count. He left "it" on the court … blood, sweat & tears. The entire team did … and still, they lost by 3.
