Penang Album

Making Memories 6x9 album. This time, my inspiration came from Ali Edwards. I combined the original, came with the album, 6x9 page protectors with 7Gypsie's 6x6 page protectors.


Instead of having the rub ons and embellishments on the layouts I had them on the page protectors! The effects are very much like an acrylic album. I like the idea of seeing thru to the next page.

All patterned papers used here are American Crafts. They are bright coloured and loud which makes the album fun and very colourful.

Used Ranger's Distress Embossing Powders, embossing each layer with different colours. With this distress embossing powders, it seasier to do the layering with different colours as it does not spoil or melt the previous colours, and does not have a shiny finish, its matte and I love it!

Most of the journaling bits are from Maya Road Sheer Collection. As I don't quite fancy my own handwritting (still working on it) so I added little chipboard bits on it. Tip: Buttons are best to stick on with pop glue dots. I used to use extra bond liquid glue but ever since I tried pop up glue dots, there's no turning back. They are super duper stronger and guarantees sticks well!
Cut Hambly Overlays to 6x6 and punched holes and added it as a page. Added shells the kids picked from the beach. These were the actual shells we picked during the trip. Tip: The next time you're collecting shells, look out for the flatter shells, just makes it easier to add to the page to prevent it from being too bulky. Again, use pop up glue dots, they work wonders!

More smaller and rounder shells, they work too!

Printed out Ali Edward's latest Fonts cd as journaling bits too.

Here they are again, printed out fron Fonts cd and inked with chalk ink pads, only wished I had such arty handwriting.


Added 7Gypsies Stickers and Hambly Studios rub ons.
