Barbara's My Life Mini Album
The Facts of My Life Mini Album. By Barabara Oros (a winner of our July competition)
I saw a lot of acrylic albums
on the 2peas website and decided to try one. I couldn’t think of another
subject, so I decided I would make it about me since I recently retired at the
age of 69.
How to make an acrylic album
I found 8 x 10 sheets of
Plexiglas at Lowe’s for $1.58 each. My husband had the proper saw to cut them
to 8 x 8 ˝ inches (leaving the ˝ for holes). He also rounded the right corners
with a sanding tool. Each page is a portion of my life and the highlights of
each. I used mostly black and white pictures and therefore stayed with black
and white embellishments.
Scrapbook products used to
embellish mini album
I
used are Hambly overlays, rubons, Stazon
ink, Stampin’ Up stamp, metal rings from Office Depot, ribbons (Michael’s) and
glue dots. The most difficult part is trying to match pictures on each side of
the page so there’s no white showing. I attempted to cover these spots with
rub-ons or stamps.
I’ve seen several albums where
people chose to cover the acrylic with paper. To me, that defeats the
“see-through” look of the album. I enjoyed making this first one and would like
to do more.
