OK - well this is a very late Christmas gift for my Mom in Florida. But she is also very creative so I know that she totally understands the process. Ya know - I have to have all my thoughts together - or somewhat anyway :) - before I began because there is way too much thought and planning that has to go into an album like this. As it was I did have to redo a couple of pages :) - but I am proud of the way it turned out and I hope that she loves it.
I wiped the edges of each page with Olive Green Stazon ink to define the pages which I thought gave it a pretty cool effect. I used alot of bling, some transparencies from Hambly, Prima and Fancy Pants (glittercuts). The patterned paper is from Basic Grey Mellow line. I used the awesome Cricut that my Mom helped me buy to do the die cutting.
Well - I will be sending this to her within the next week and surely wish that I could be there when she opens it. I know that she will call me as soon as she does and will probably be crying which in turn will make me cry too.
Enough of the crying - the clear albums really are a very cool project - and granted - do take alot of thought before you begin. In the end though - it will be a project that you will be proud of, so go ahead and give it a try. :)
