Great Chipboard and Acrylic Mini Album by Melanie Jarocki

Check out this fabulous 8x8 mini album created by Melanie Jarocki.  She combined both acrylic pages and chipboard pages in her book.  This combination creates interesting dimension and some cool effects.  Her project combines products from Cosmo Cricket's Lil' Man Collection, Crate Paper's Orbit Collection as well as accents by Sassafrass Lass, Jenni Bowlin, Basic Grey, Creative Imaginations, Scenic Route and 7 Gypsies.

 
The cover pages has the title on one side - and shows the background paper from the 1st page through the acrylic cover page.  Melanie added journaling on the back side of the cover behind the title. 








The pocket on the "Brothers" page is great for adding journing when space is limited.  This way you can get the full story in.  The next acrylic page features a die cut ring accented with buttons and a chipboard embellishment.  This acrylic page frames out whichever page it is overlaying.  The reverse side of the acrylic page has another set of embellishments to cover the back sides of the embellishments from the other side.  This adds great texture and a unique effect to the book.







 
The next acrylic page features a strip of orange plaid paper and some red ric rac.  It accents which ever page it overlays.







Love the little diecut border on the next acrylic page.  It runs vertically and gives the photos a different accent depending on which way the acrylic page is turned.






 
On the back acrylic cover Melanie adds some journaling and a couple of stickers.  These are covered on the reverse side by a couple of pieces of patterned paper.  Great book Melanie!!!
