Chipboard Wave Slimline Album

Hello everyone!  It's Jennifer here on the blog today to share one of the new Slimline Albums just released by Clear Scraps!  I  am a big fan of all of the mini books Susan and Jim design and these are no exception!  With Easter coming up next month, I    wanted to create a book that I  could put this year's photos into.  For my project, I  used the Chipboard Wave Slimline Album which measures 5.5 x 11 inches. 

I    also included the new  Scallop With Holes Chipboard Borders that coordinate with the Slimline Albums as well as the new Easter Egg Mini Shaker Shape!  I    painted each using a light coat of white acrylic paint and allowed to dry. 

I    backed the chipboard base of the shaker with patterned paper using my Beacon 3-in-1 Adhesive then added in some tiny, colorful sequins. 

Here is the finished result after adding a few stickers and die cuts to the front and around my shaker. I    found it was best to adhere the shaker again using the Beacon Adhesive; you know you will get a firm bond between elements and will not have to worry about items falling off. 

Using a light blue chalk paint, I    painted the outer edges of both sides of my chipboard pages since I    planned on covering each with patterned paper. I    cut each piece 4.5 x 10.75 to fit just inside the chipboard and to allow the wave edges to be seen. 

I    adhered my Chipboard Scalloped Border with the Beacon 3-in-1 Adhesive.  I    then used a Big Bite to punch my holes but you can also line up your border piece and mark with a pencil and punch before adhering.
