6 x 12 Cork Album How To By: Jennifer Griggs (Lizzie)

With 6x12 pages becoming more and more popular and fun, I wanted an album that was as fun as they are!

Unfortunately, there aren't very many albums in that size on the market. What's the solution? Make your own, of course!

Supplies:
A 12 inch square cork tile
3 Metal Craft Rings (the kind you can open and close)
Razor Blade or VERY strong scissors
Hole Punch...Things to make it pretty!!! this is all your choice!

Instructions: Using the razor blade or scissors, cut the cork tile in half. Decide where you would like the holes to connect the album. I used a sheet of notebook paper to mark the spots. Use paints, stamps, or other embellishments to decorate the front of one half of the tile. Using the metal rings, attach the tiles as your front and back cover. As you create 6 x 12 pages, you can add them into the album. You will need to punch holes in them to fit them into the album. There are many other items that could be used instead of corkboard. Make this project your own...just remember to HAVE FUN!!!

How To Make an Acrylic Frame: By Sarah E.

I'm sure some of you have seen the great acrylic frames that are outthere.. and if you haven't, all they really are is a transparency material imprinted and used as a photo frame on your layout. I love them, but there's been a few times I wanted to use one and did not have the right color, design etc. Well, now I can make my own, with the added bonus of a little bit of texture too!

SUPPLIES:
Embossing heat gun
Embossing powder
Embossing ink/fluidStamp of your choice
4x6 piece of transparency
Paint brushes (Just to dust off the excess powder)

Step #1 - Liberally cover your chosen stamp with embossing ink, keep that in mind when choosing your stamp that this will frame a photo so your image should be to the side. Stamp the image onto the 'printable side' of the transparency. You should be able to brush your finger across each side and tell the difference.

Step #2 - Cover the image with embossing powder, take care not cover the entire transparency with the powder, cover just the image. Once covered, knock off the excess, and use a small paint brush to sweep away any remaining powder.

Step #3 - Heat the embossing powder as you normally would, using a smooth back and forth motion, as to melt it evenly and NOT melt or warp the transparency. Let cool, and voila! A custom frame! Very cool and a great way to use your rubber stamps!!
