My Brag Book-Let’s try it again

Thanks for joining me today. I posted a blog post during our fun Fancy Pants blog hop, and I guess photobucket just decided not to let me share some of my images. So I am going to redo it today with lot’s of photos. fingers crossed.a couple images repeat, but I think you will be glad you stayed for the ride. 🙂

When I was creating this brag book I  focused on sharing how versatile the Adhesive Sheets were. (My preference being the 12×12 size). There is no adhesive out there that compares to how flawless they adhere things and as well to being completely hidden. I use them for EVERY single transparency, vellum and photos.

Let’s begin with how to adhere the Adhesive Sheets to the transparency. At one end of the sheet is a little 1/2″ strip that peels off. I peel that off and then line up on the pp as best as I can. This is going to determine how well you cover the page.

When adhering it, make sure you slowly unroll the adhesive, rubbing the whole way to try and avoid air bubbles.

Once you are done, rub it all over to make sure the adhesive has adhered. You can see, I do have a few wrinkles along the bottom, just make sure you give a little extra rub.

Now let’s adhere it to the Kraft book. Yes! You can adhere it to coloured paper and still have the flawless coverage as you would if you put it on white.

When I cover transparencies, I ALWAYS cover the entire 12x 12 even though I know I might not need it. In this case I only needed 2/3 of the transparency, but it is super easy just to get it done at the same time. Now I have extra ready to go to decorate in the album.

Taking some of that extra,

I took my EK Success flower punch and punched some flowers. Don’t be rough as the transparencies could get stuck in the punch, just be firm.

Now see, you can’t see it at all on the photo page protectors. It makes it so easy to jazz up an ordinary photo holder album.

Now I want to show you a few more pages of this album. It’s a work in progress, my plan is to add photos from birth to ? (whenever it fills) featuring some of our faves over the years.

For the following page, I just needed to use my MyStik Permanent adhesive as it was just paper on paper application. Quick & Easy. You will notice that all the cardstock I’m using is Core’dinations. If the embossed pattern is large, I switch and use my Crafty Power Tape as it is a little more flexible to get in the grooves with a stronger hold as well.

This was fun decorating the pockets.

This page was created to some of the kids teeth. The different sizes of the Keepsake Envelopes is so AWESOME!!!! Perfect for small items like this.
I also know I want to put my favourite images on a disk so that we never lose them, so I made the inside back cover special and decorated it. That is my favourite thing about our CD holders, is that they have extra room to customize them.

Thanks for sticking around for this long post. I had so much fun making it and I hope you walk away feeling comfortable to try the little “Extras” that Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L makes. I find that is one thing they rock at, making adhesives perfect for all the different tasks.
