I've had this idea in my head for awhile now (4 years!) for a wedding album for my husband and I. I loved the soft colors of We R Memory Keepers line in combination of the clear album by Clear Scraps was just perfection in my book.

1. To start I used my Silhouette to cut my vine images.

2. Leaving the shapes in their place I spray Maya Mist straight onto the vinyl. Using a paper towel I gently blotted off the excess then let stand to dry. I left them for about an hour before using. The vinyl takes some time to set up so be careful of smudging. 

3. Next apply your vinyl to your album. I placed mine on the front, middle and end pages.

4. For the front cover I cut more images using my Silhouette. Layering my pieces with U-Cut Foam.

5. Once you have finished up your cover apply your background paper with Perma Tac and Extreme Squares. Keep in mind where you apply your glue as you don't want it to show through to the front.

6. I repeated my patterns inside the album pages creating a cohesive look. Copics are also a good way to dress up your vinyl and to change the colors to match your current scheme!

Supplies:

Glue Arts Perma Tac
Glue Arts Square adhesive (Perma Tac)
Glue Arts Ribbon Adhesive
Glue Arts U Cut it Foam
Pattern papers- Pink Paislee; Die Cuts with a View
Mini album and acrylic sheet- Clear Scraps
Embossing folders- Cuttlebug, Provo Craft
Paint- Plaid Enterprises
Letter stickers- (mini) Making Memories; (brown) American Crafts
Black frame- source unknown
Pen- Signo, Uniball
Buttons- Favorite Findings

Instructions:
1. Gather your supplies

2. Measure the inside of the mini album sheets and cut your paper accordingly.

3. Adhere the papers onto the chipboard sheets with Perma Tac.


4. Cut out a piece from the acrylic sheet that is ¼” smaller than the pattern paper.

5. Dry emboss the sheet with the star folder. 

6. Cut out 14 2” squares from the acrylic sheet. 

7. Dry emboss the sheets using the star, argyle and swirl embossing folders. 

8. Add some color to the acrylic sheets by painting it white. Lightly wiping some of the paint off the acrylic will bring the images to the forefront. Do the same technique for all the acrylic blocks and let it dry completely before continuing. 

9. I like to mat my photos and found that if I use my old paper blocks with white backs will save me money. I adhered them with Perma Tac.

10. Adhere the photos onto the mini album pages with Perma Tac.


11. I wanted to adhere a 2 ½” strip of pattern paper onto the middle of the back page of the album. I distressed the edge of the paper first before adhering with Perma Tac.

12. I then used some Mini Square adhesive to add the acrylic blocks onto the album. It’s a great adhesive to use which doesn’t show through the acrylic sheets. 

13. Adhere a piece of white cardstock behind the black frame with mini square adhesive. 

14. Because I was running out of specific letters from my pack, I altered some with white pen. 

15. I then added my letters to the inside of the frame. I use a transparent ruler to add it so that it’ll come out straight.


16. I then used some square adhesive to add the big acrylic block onto the middle of the front page.

17. Next, I used the ribbon adhesive to add a strip of ribbon onto the front of the album.

18. I then added some U Cut it foam adhesive on the back of the frame and added that to the album, along with a ribbon made with the same ribbon strip as earlier.


19. Then I added my letter stickers. 

20. I continued decorating the front of the book with buttons.


21. I then added some pattern paper blocks with lines on them in the inside of the pages for journaling blocks. 

22. Next, I worked on the back page of the album, adding some buttons and a pattern paper strip on the bottom.

23. I then hand wrote who made the book and when. 

24. After placing the rings onto the book to bind it, I decided to add some black buttons on the corners of the acrylic sheet in the front as well.
