{Feburaury Special kit} - "Sweet Spring "

Supplies needed:

Basic Tool Kit

Wet Glue

Paper Towel

Sanding Block

Mini glue dots

Circle cutter

Pop dots

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…}

Prep work:

Ok so this is tricky when working with acrylic. I always lay my acrylic on a paper towel when I am working with it. It keeps it from getting scratched. You can also leave the protective layer on the backsides when working on the front side. This flower album contains 6 pages, 12 total front and back. You will need 10 photos. I used my creative memories circle cutter to trim up my photos. Ok, so choose 12 pattern papers and trim them into circles for the centers of the flowers. I sanded all my edges but you can also ink them. I did my album so it opens like a book from side to side. Once your circles are all done, adhere them onto each flower front and back. The easiest way to make sure you are lining them all up is to lay anther circle on top of the previous circle and use this as your guide. (Does that make sense).

Ok let’s get started!!!

Cover and back cover:

Supplies needed: covered flower, wet glue, and alpha stickers (small pink ones) wire butterfly, wet glue and glitter.
