I've got a heap of peek-a-boos to show you for days 24 and 25.... and in this part of the post, you will see just a page at a time without the see-through to the next page as the next page hadn't been created at the time of photographing.
Day 24....
The page has been placed down onto a coloured background (not the best colour!) just so you can see where the acetate is..
Cut this part from a 12x12
Cut a doily unevenly in half and attached it to the back of the paper strip
Again placed on the colour background so you can see the now attached acetate ...
Just below the bottom doily, it was lifted and a santa rub-on was added. He looked like he was peeking around. The page was the 24th - with the words 'T'was the Night before Christmas' and the pic is of Hannah asleep in her bed.....
I'm always hesitant with rub-ons... but they do work a treat on acetate being seen from both sides.
Day 25
I've created a few pages for Christmas Day ....weeeeeell, because we did so much and had so many friends and relatives over for breakfast, lunch, and tea!
Found another great strip on a 12x12 (MME) and sliced it off to back the 'T'was theNight before Christmas' strip. It had this really cool sticky tape and doily affect in it- perfect! And the remainder of the 12x12's used will great for 10x12's etc, so nothing wasted. This side will be fully acetate other than the strip.
Even the rub-on Santa looks great on the reverse side and also perfect for the pic I had in mind
A quiet moment of Hannah with a gift....
The next couple of pages are diecuts,doily adhered onto cut acetate. The acetate just gives it that little more stability.
The quiet before the rest of the family arrive....
The reverse side... with some of the family and lots of strewn paper and laughs
Hard to see the acetate on the white in the next few pics, but it is there......
This gold doily is also backed with acetate (again hard to see...should have used colour behind it). It does give it stability. More family members......
The reverse side.... LUNCH! Outside in the beautiful sun... and lovely light cool breeze...
On the bottom is a little washi tab... these become useful when a heap of acetate pages are closed together....to chose a tab to open the next page.
Last but not least..... the Washer-Uppers!
A tidy kitchen!
This was on the last door of the album, gessoed to quiet the print and the yellow design underneath.
Using a red glitter scalloped strip, adhered it to the edge of the album just to extend it a little more and to finish it off. I've finished my album this year on the 25th and what better way with the washing up all done! LOL
Soooooo, now to see the pages in their peek-a-boo positions....
with what can be seen behind and through...
Just one last post on this album to come... the finishing touches.. the trimmings etc...
What a lot of fun. Most definitely the see-through pages have been a challenge, but completely satisfying to accomplish.
Definitely would tackle that again!
Totally fabulous, Mandy. The peak-a-boo pages are just devine.....love them to bits.
ReplyDeleteThis is simply gorgeous Mandy. Can't wait to see the finished album.
ReplyDeleteLove those aprons! Very cute!! The doilies throughout is just divine. And that first page is so sweet. They are never too old to enjoy Christmas!!
