What I did yesterday

I wanted to make an album for my CKC St Louis trip. I chose my Basic Grey 6x12 chipboard album, because I've never worked with that size before. I used regular acrylic paint as my background on each page, and the paper is MME Tres JOlie. Many of the page accents and titles are from that line as well. I have some transparency frames that are from MME too in there. Some of the other transparencies are acctually the clear plastic that you THROW away when you buy acrylic stamps and store them the way i do. I found so many things that i'd normally throw away that I kept! Also, one of the journalling tags on one of the pages (white, looks like a torn off sheet of paper) is also just one of the samples that comes with the SEE D's stamps. I've been keeping some of those things to use, and they're great!
I used up a whole BOTTLE of Mod Podge on this project, and tons of random ribbons, mostly from Michaels!
Here is my album...enjoy!

Front Cover. I love the back cover better, so I'm kicking myself!
title is cuttlebug die


Journalling is on a new prima overlay (I am in LOVE with slick writer pens!)


The bird is another prima overlay, i cut the paper behind the overlay in the package and kept it behind it cause i loved the color already! Journalling card is NEW from BIsous! (see famous Klo?)





Maya Road office sheers (omg they so totally rock!) The owl is the clear plastic that the acrylic stamps come on when you buy them. Ya know..the stuff you throw away! I've saved it all, and used a ton of it in this book, so from now on above each picture, if i've used the acrylic stamp plastic, i'll just put ASP (acrylic stamp plastic)


Another Bisous journalling card, "good times" (ASP) felt from the Kajinkers booth..the lady gave me two free packages of it! woo hoo!


"not so perfect" (ASP) transparency from MME (my minds eye) cuttlebug alpha


KI memories tag lines (in orange) quote is ASP


Flourishes are ASP and I painted on the back of them with blue acrylic paint =)

I'm totally excited that I took trash and made it into treasure. I have a whole drawer of that plastic from my acrylic stamps that I've put the stamps in cd cases and almost threw away the plastic they were on, until i realized that I could USE it...then i dug through my trash and recollected all of them! woot!
