I have been missing in action because.....

I have been busy creating this Acrylic Album for a good friend of mine that had a baby girl in December. I am going to her baby shower tomorrow and just decided on Wednesday to make this for her. I really hope that she likes it. She knows that I scrapbook and loves to go through my albums and such, but she does not scrapbook for herself. I tried to make the album easy for her to be able to add her pictures to it, so I did not do too many different sized photo mats. The only thing I could NOT resist adding to the album was the big scalloped circles that look like flowers. I guess that she does not have add photos to those, she could just leave them alone.

ANYHOO.....on to the album. I created this using CTMH's My Creations Acrylic Album and My Reflections Daydream paper pack. I kind of used a hodge podge of accents, but all are CTMH and are current if you would like to order any! If you like this but it is too girly for you, check out Vicki's version using the My Reflections Stardust paper pack! She even has super cute black and white photos of her son on hers!!

Front cover....


Pages 1 and 2.....


Pages 1 and 2 still, with the divider moved over to page 1.......


Pages 3 and 4......


Pages 5 and 6.......


Pages 5 and 6 with the divider moved over to page 5.....I thought that if she wanted, she could add a photo to this, or she could keep it just plain.


Pages 7 and 8 The "flower" on this page is a large Nestabilities scalloped circle with a regular Nestabilities circle inside.......


Pages 7 and 8 again with the flower flipped over to the other side.


And finally, the back of the album. I did not do anything with the back, just stuck a piece of paper on it and a scalloped circle. I did not think it needed much more!


Am I forgiven for not posting for 2 days?? I thought maybe this would make up for it!

Sneak peak of CTMH's new stamp set Happy Endings!

SSHHH Don't tell anyone, but I am giving you a little sneak peak of CTMH's My Acrylix Happy Endings stamp set! Isn't this princess just the sweetest thing? Just wait till you see the rest of this set! I really love the new My Reflections Daydream paper pack so I created yet another card using the papers from this set. Remember to check out my website on January 2nd to check out the Spring Idea book and see all of the AWESOME new paper packs, stamp sets, and embellishments that CTMH has to offer! I will say that I personally think that this is the BEST Idea Book ever!! But then again I say that about EVERY Idea Book that comes out! LOL


Anyhoo.....On to the card...... To create the dress for the princess, I stamped the princess onto White Daisy CS, Blush CS and then again onto patterned paper from Daydream. I cut out the dress bottom and each of the sleeves from the Daydream paper and then cut the middle of the dress out of the Blush CS. Once adhered to the image stamped on the White Daisy CS, I used my glue pen on the dots and then on the whole middle section and sprinkled Prisma Glitter on. The wand was stamped onto White Daisy CS, cut out and then glitter was adhered on with my glue pen. Like my last card, I used a white gel pen to put dots on the black cs. Thanks to Faith over at stampinwithmarkiesmom for the inspiration!

Close up of the details on the princess.
