peekaboo pages!!

Peek A Boo Pages can be used for a title page or for a multiple page layout within an album. They can be made for CM pages, post bound pages or top loading pages.

Materials:

  1. Album Pages or Cardstock
  2. Ruler
  3. Circle Cutter
  4. Circle Cutter Template
  5. Exacto knife
  6. Pencil



Peek A Boo Title Page (uses 2 album pages or 2 pieces of cardstock)
  1. Design your layout on page 2 with the photos that you want to peek through to the title page.
  2. Decide what shape opening that you want the hole to be for your "peek a boo"
  3. Use a window or a light box and a pencil to determine the placement of your holes in page one. Decide whether the hole will be round, square, rectangular or if you will use a template and make a 'fancy" shape.
  4. Trace the shape for the hole onto the page with your pencil.
  5. Use a circle cutter or regular scissors to cut away the paper for the peek a boo hole.
  6. Add the title and journalizing to all pages and add a page protector or slip it in your top loading page protector.



Peek A Boo Titles for a multi page layouts

This is a GREAT way to stretch special lettering, sticker art or a stamp design.

  1. Design your artwork or title on page 1 and page 4. (see example) Don't place your artwork too close to the edge of your page. Be sure to leave enough room to cut the peek a boo hole LARGER than the artwork.
  2. Decide what shape opening that you want the hole to be for your "peek a boo".The opening will need to be larger than the artwork that will peek through.
  3. Use a window or a light box and a pencil to determine the placement of your holes in page 2 and 3. Decide whether the hole will be round, square, rectangular or if you will use a template and make a 'fancy" shape.
  4. Trace the shape for the hole onto the page with your pencil. Again, make sure that the hoe is big enough for the artwork to be seen in its entirety.
  5. Use a circle cutter or regular scissors to cut away the paper for the peek a boo hole.
  6. Add photos and all the other finishing touches to the pages and add a page protector or slip it in your top loading page protector.
