{December Specialty kit} - "Dec 25th "

Supplies needed:

Basic tool box

Wet glue

Foam brush

Glue dots

Paper towel….(what ..why…to lay your album on while you are working on it so it doesn’t get scratched)

Ok..lets get started….{ at the end of the project…you will have a TON of extras…that was my main goal for this kit club…to be able to do a project and then have leftovers for other things like layouts cards….anther mini book. and so-on…}

**now remember when you are placing the photos in the book that it opens from the top..so the backside of the page the photos will look upside down…make sense..but not really because when you flip the book open the pictures are right side up…I know confusing.. ** also don’t forget to peel the plastic of both sides of the album.

Prep Work:

You will need 8 photos…you can use more per page if you crop them down…you will also need to cut 10 circles out of all that yummy pattern paper…I used my CM circle cutter…it is the largest circle w/ the blue blade..if you don’t have a cm cutter any circle cutter will work or even a bowl just trace it to the paper and cut..i sanded each circle … now adhere the circles to each page…now when you adhere the circle turn the page over and adhere the next circle over the one you can see…does that make since…and just repeat the process for the rest of the pages..

Cover & back cover:

(Supplies needed: album insert, hand made flower, letter stickers, rub-ons, pipe cleaner)

1. Take the cover and adhere your title. I used December 25^th..but this is your album so u can pick a title..

4. Take a pipe cleaner and cut in half and adhere to the top of the cover placing the end on the backside of the paper…curl up the top so it looks like an ornament hanger… repeat that step for pages 2,4,6,8

OK so you’re DONE…YIPPIE….now here is where u are at a fork in the road. (A) Go back through the album and keep on adding…it is yours.. I know I went back and decked it all out…w/ stamps I have and  I used white staz-on and added all sorts to it…or (B) keep it this way…I tried to keep the project simple but fun incase you were giving this as a gift…but what ever you do…you want to take a foam brush and wet glue and go around all the circles the edges and then dip them into the glitter…the GREEN glitter…now let me tell you…it is cool..It is hard to see in the photo..but the glitter around each page really makes it special…and also don’t forget the pipe cleaners at the top of the even number pages so they look like ornaments. SO LOVELY….also each page has a tag in-between.. decorate those tags w/ the rub-ons and doo-dahs…and then just layer it all together and put the rings in it…and tie the yummy ribbon…and your DONE…MERRY CHRISTMAS and ENJOY…I cannot wait to see you again in the NEW YEAR…. THANK YOU…
