Maya Road Acrylic Butterfly Mini Album

Happy Memorial Day Weekend to Everyone ! Hope it's safe and fun filled .

For this project I used an acrylic butterfly mini album from Maya Road. You can get these fun little yummies from FlamingoScraps.com and right now there is a 30% off coupon code, kathleennmaya30, so you can receive a great discount on all your MR needs.

This is the front cover of the album. I used this colorful paper from my stash to cover it. An easy way to make your templates for covering the pages, is to trace a pattern on a plain white piece of printer paper. Scan the pattern. Trim your 12x12 paper by 3.5" to make it 8.5" so it will fit into your printer. If you use a patterned paper, be sure that you cut it so that the pattern runs the correct way, if need be. It's kind of like cutting fabric for sewing.Print your pattern onto the printed (or solid) paper you are using then all you have to do it cut.

Maya Road Tu Tu Tulle Trim in teal was used for the fluttery wings around the edges. A cut up Prima SIIC was used to create the antennas and paft of the body. Pink crystal circles on body were from my Webster's Pages stash.

 

 For the first page I used Maya Road Trinket Pins with Hearts for the antenna and a MR burlap rose in teal. This page will be used for pics and it allows me room to journal as well.

 

MR Tu Tu Tulle in Lemon borders this wing, Prima SIIC with small cream flowers in bottom left corner and a Prima wood veneer butterfly with bling completes the look.

A strip of blue dotted washi tape runs across this dotted Swiss embossed yellow  paper used for the covering. Along with the tulle, I use Websters trim in gold.

 

 

Blue dotted washi tape covers this page, MR lowercase CB letters spell out "Kisses" and a wood veneer Prima butterfly with bling completes the look.


I covered this page with black CS, then cut out another page, and cut that one into half, and put it aside. I used a white gel roller for the "stitches". From a laser cut piece of paper with butterflies, I cut one out,backed it with white CS, then applied it to the half piece of black CS. I attached that,which created a nifty little pocket. I used Stickles Crystal to make the wings sparkle, and cut up some Prima SIIP for the dotted accents on the wings.

More MR Tu Tu Tulle, this time in Cinnamon, makes this page very frilly and almost like Valentine's Day. The white swirl embossed paper was highlighted with red scrappy markers with a light coat of Crystal Stickles. I used ribbon sliders with flat back pearls for the body, and MR Trinket Pins Pearls for the antennas. The clothespin is from my stash.

 

 

This is the back page , and it's covered with a great black flocked floral piece of CS. I love this paper and couldn't wait to use it.
