Yeah! I made it! hee... my very 1st mini scrapbook album.
I made this specially for the birthday of the man I love so much.

Always wanted to make an album but too lazy to start.
This time, in less than 5 days, I decided to make one for hubby's birthday (8 Aug).

Started off slow, just picking the right photos to include already took 1+ day.
Then need to choose the right paper based on their colors.
And the biggest challenge of the album is to deco on the acrylic cover.
Most ppl just use the acrylic cover as protection so no need to deco, but I liked the transparency of it so wanted to do something different.
Aiyo... first thing is how to glue pp on acrylic without seeing the glue marks.
I had to use glossy accents to stick but it was so ugly. Ended up got to put "pearls" one by one to cover up. Hmm... turn out acceptable lah.

It was fun. I get to play with Zutter, my new toy and that sense of achievement after completing the album was GREAT! Oh, the box that contains the album is made by following a template of a gift box. Heng never throw away... I cannot imagine that it is just the right size for the album.

Although in the end, i can't finished it in time on his bdae but managed to give him the next day.
So glad that he likes it.

Hmm... what is the next album project??
