Beach Mini Album

I am so excited that I finished my new mixed media mini album by fancy pants. There was a combination of acrylic, chipboard and felt pages. It was a lot of fun and it is one of my favorite projects that I have done.
On the front page I added three chipboard circles and put paper over them. Then I added "by the" in white sticker letters and "sea" on the circles with Thickers.

This is my favorite page...I used the new fiskars border punch and cut little slits in it to put it around the circle.(the picture is under the paper) I cut the paper diagonally and then added eyelets and string to make it look like it was holding it together.

The page on the left: The waves on the paper have glossy accents over them, I used alcohol ink of the fish, and crackle paint on the bubbles, I also connected the two journaling papers with eyelets and string.
The page on the right: On the white frame I added white crackle paint around the edges, and used alcohol ink on the smaller frame. I used distress stickles on the word 'chasing' and distress ink on the word 'seagulls'

One of the acrylic pages I took their transparency papers with the sun and glued it on the page. I really liked the grid look the page already had over the next page so I didn't want to add any pictures on the page to cover it up, but I didn't want to leave it with just the grid design. I loved how it turned out, and the sun ends up highlighting my husband.

The page on the right: I love this picture of my husband playing in the water with the boys. I inked the ribbon to make it brown and distressed all the edges of the paper.

The page on the left: The orange paper has stripes radiating from it and on the darker ones I added glossy accents, I also put eyelets through the paper and tied sting through it and then weaved thicker string around it.
The page on the right: The boys didn't like the pool that much, so we only got a few pictures. I added letters that I painted with white crackle paint and then inked with blue distress ink, and then added distress stickles to the fish.

The page on the left: The was the last acrylic page and I decided to try and use a Tim Holtz mask on it. I had to use the Staz On ink and I applied it with an ink blending tool. Then I used brown alcohol ink all over the page and then added the paper on the back. I REALLY love how this page turned out. To finish it I painted the letters with white crackle paint, and added spinners to the clock for handles.

On the back page I used white sticker letter to add Lincoln City and June 2009
