Christmas Acrylic Tree Album

Hello!  Christmas is just a little over a week away! Today I'm sharing a mini album using the Acrylic Tree Album! This mini is so cute…I love how the book "cascades" and each page becomes a larger portion of the tree!

I used my Beacon 3 in 1 Craft Glue to adhere my patterned paper to each page and then cut and sand the edges.

For this page, I colored the acrylic using red alcohol ink and a cotton applicator. I cut a 4 1/3 x 9 piece of patterned paper and scored it at the middle.  This allowed me to not only add a photo to the top of my folder, but also inside!

Here is the folder opened on the inside…I cut my 4×6 photo into three inch pieces and adhered on the opposite sides.

Not all pages have to hold photos! The last page is a full tree shape so I used different sized circles (using hand punches) and created a garland across the page!

Here is the back of my album…I covered with patterned paper and then added a cute die cut!
