I thought I would use some pretty pens and just draw some swirls on it, except the pens don't write so well on the slippery acrylic. So I'll be thinking of how to glue without the glue showing tonight, LOL! I might say eff it, and just use my tape runner. It doesn't have to be perfect

For pens, you should use "Slick Writer" pens by American Crafts - they write on photos and acrylic - I've tested this before and I swear by it.
As for the adhesive, you can put it sparingly in various places then cover it up on the other side with various techniques. Here are some I've tried: Prima flowers, word art strips, photo, ribbon, cutout hearts/arrows/stars, decoupaged guitar pick.

Unfortunately, I was so excited to even do that, that I failed to think about how I would decorate the back without the glue showing. :blink: I thought I would use some pretty pens and just draw some swirls on it, except the pens don't write so well on the slippery acrylic.

I ran into the same problem with my cover page. I forgot that I was waiting on one of those "new" purchases :blink: as a mat behind my tag on the cover. So now I've got this HUGE (in my best Monty Python voice) foam thing showing through on the wrong side of my cover. I think what I'll do is cut a mat for the back side and glue it in place where the tag is on the cover and put a quote on the mat on the backside. Does this even make sense at this time of night?????

I'm trying to just "Go with the flow"...but the anal/retentive in me is having a hard time with it

Yea, I ended up gluing it and saying screw it, I don't care who sees the glue. They shouldn't be looking that closely anyway, LOL! I covered it as best I could with some ricrac and called it done.

I started on one of the acrylic pages. It has a scallopped edge, so I used my crop-o-dile to punch holes in the centers of the scallops, and then I threaded 2 red ribbons through it. Love how that turned out Tonight though, I really need to sit down and make some actual PAGES, LOL!

I know what you mean. I spent a good part of the day yesterday working on my ATC spinner Twas the Night Before Christmas project instead of cutting actual pages I WILL make some pages tonight! I think I can! I think I can! LOL!

I've gotten a cover page finished, and also 12 pages decorated just waiting for pics, I'm planning to work on some more pages this week and finish up friday night. We are putting our tree up tonight which will be my pages for tomorrow I think I'm going to working a day behind so I can get up and scrap in the early am while the kiddies are still in bed.
