To start, I took some Folkart Vintage White acrylic paint and painted along 1 inch border all around the edges on the front and back covers as well as all the album pages. Let dry.
Taking the 12x12 paper pack I chose some patterned papers to cover my front, back covers and all base pages. I cut my papers as follows:
Front/Back covers- 6 1/4 x 6 &1/4 inches, apply Distress Ink anadglue in place. See photos:
Front cover:
Back cover:
Side binding: 1 & 5/8 x 6 & 1/2 inches, see photo:
All other album pages I cut 5 & 3/4 x 5 & 3/4 inches. Here's how my first pages look, you can repeat this step for all remaining album pages.
I cut a piece of "Good Life" paper to measure 5 & 7/8 x 5 & 7/8 inches and with foam dots, I adhered on top of my front cover. Taking a piece of lace trim, I glued along the left edge. See photo:
Taking one of the paper dollies, I cut into 4 pieces. Inked along the edge. I also cut out one of the Journaling cards,I applied some baby powder on the back to remove the stickiness.
I tucked my small doily behind my journal card and adhered at an angle at the top using foam dots to add dimension. I arranged some Prima flowers and small white 49&Market flower and glued them on the left edge over my doily. I applied some of the sticker sentiments at the top and bottom right corners, added some Prima crystals! I covered One of the Tres Jolie chipboard tickets and covered the top with some scrap paper, distressed and inked edges. I adhered my Carte Postal card on the bottom left corner. Here's some closeup photos!
