My Acrylic Album

I was asked to guest design for My Acrylic Album this month. It was so much fun to work with their lovely albums! I was given a half-heart album, a bunny album and a few acrylic buttons to work with. This is what I did.

I used some of the large square buttons to make napkin holders/place cards for Easter. Pretty easy. My directions can be found on the My Acrylic Album website.




I took one page of the bunny album and made this Easter wall-hanging using Luxe papers for the fan. Directions to make this can be found on the My Acrylic Album website.


Materials List: MAA bunny album; Luxe pattern paper, Stickles, green alcohol ink, black cardstock; Tacky glue, ribbon, cardboard piece (for back), Doodlebug Designs hearts

I took another bunny page and made this collage using a quote from The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams.


A few close-ups. The heart is also from My Acrylic Album. I colored it using alcohol ink and Stickles.


I used that fake watercolor method that I demonstrated here to do all the coloring.


Materials: MAA bunny shape; diamond buttons and heart buttons; Pattern paper: Stampington, Jenni Bowlin, Webster’s Pages, Luxe; MM acrylic paint; Prima flowers; American Crafts slick writer; Gesso; black thread; Stickles; cheesecloth and pink velveteen

I took the half-heart album, flipped it upside down and it suddenly became a drop of water! I combined it with my summer pool pictures, some Luxe papers and transparencies and made a fabulous mini.


I stuck with circle pictures because I wanted the whole water feel.


That black dot over Garrett's face isn't really on the album. I lost his mother's phone number when my cell phone died last month so I couldn't call her and get permission to post his cute face.



The colors are pretty simple here. Lots of aqua because of the water, a little red, green and black and white.
