Christmas Acrylic Book and Maddi's Frame

Morning!!

Technical difficulties over!! I can finally show you what I have been working on, these projects are for the fabulous new store in La Haska, Creative Inkling, I would love to know what you all think, the first is a scrapbook frame, using their beautiful new fall papers, and going with the fashionable idea of using scrapbooking for home decor,


What do you think? I love the strong colors, I picked out the glittered leaves from the paper and raised some up with glossy accents, the words are stamped with black archival on the glass so they can be removed or changed.

This is an acrylic album with photo's of our first family christmas, I'm really pleased how this came out,

This is the whole book, put together, it was coloured with alcohol inks and copics, the front I left clear and just stamped the "have a merry little christmas" and used puff paint to give the effect of snow tipped branches

This the the page behind, I punched the pictures and tied ribbons through them to make them look like ornaments


The next page was covered with pearl alcohol inks, it had a lovely shimmer to it, I used an inkadinkadoo snowflake stamp to make it look like a garland


The journalling is on vanilla cardstock and I used the distraa inks and blening foam to age them


This page is done with copics, using them to create a background, you will notice the effect is lighter than using alcohol inks.



The final page has a little bit of the green but mostly the copper alcohol inks, I put the journalling that it shines through on the previous page too,


On the back I hung a charm, this was acrylic too, I used the pearl acrylic dauber to make him look snowy and wrote on it with a copic


What do you all think? These are my first two projects, I am working on a Mum's Brag Book with the Kaiser Tabbed range, I'm off for now my spellbinders win from the sneak peak should be here later, maybe I can get going with that too!!

I think I need to make something very similar to your frame with pictures of my kiddos. What a great idea!! Thanks for sharing.
