I have wanted to do an acrylic album class for quite some time and finally got something designed for my November classes using the Holiday Collection stamp set from the Nov/Dec '08 Country Living promo. the vist shows the album opened up with the back cover on the left and the front cover on the right.
Finally had to force myself to haul out my BIA (which I bought last spring!) and figure out how to use it. Turned out to be not so bad after all, and I love using the white coils for the binding, doesn't it look great with the white StazOn ink?
Anyway, I got the sheets of the clear acrylic (it's semi flexible, not super rigid like an acrylic photo frame) in a 12x12 size and cut them down with my SU tabletop cutter. So far so good on that and the cut is nice and clean!
I took photos of the front cover. the inside pages and then the book "spread eagled" so you can see the back and the front at the same time. Clear transparencies sheets sandwiched in between the DSP provider an "overlay" so I stamped a few flourishes and snowflakes on the overlay, that way whichever way you have the page flipped, you can still see the images framing the photos. Well, if I had put any photos in it!
Let me know what you think, ok?

Let you know what we think?
FABULOUS!! ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!
Oh yeah, this is on my to-do list for the holidays all right!
I too got the Holiday Collection set from the Country Living deal, and they look perfect with the Baroque Motifs swirl, and stamped on the acrylic, they look even better!
Thanks so much for sharing!
Great Job! I just used my BIA for the first time last month. I have made mini albums so far. I have found a nice finishing touch is to take various ribbons and tie one on each spiral of the binding. Small charms hanging off are a nice touch too. These are awesome for gift giving! Thanks for sharing.
