Peek A Boo Title Page (uses 2 album pages or 2 pieces of
cardstock)
- Design your layout on page 2 with the photos that you want to peek through to the title
page.
- Decide what shape opening that you want the hole to be for your "peek a boo"
- 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.
- Trace the shape for the hole onto the page with your pencil.
- Use a circle cutter or regular scissors to cut away the paper for the peek a boo hole.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Use a circle cutter or regular scissors to cut away the paper for the peek a boo hole.
- 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.

| Peek A Boo Die Cuts for a multi page layouts
Same principal but this peek a boo is usually done in the shape of a large die
cut at the center of the album. (see example).
- Choose the design for your theme die cut- this shape will show on all pages and MUST be
symmetrical. Also decide how many pages you will need for the layout. The layout as
shown is four pages or a double two-page spread. However, it would be easy to add a second
peek a boo and make this a 6 page layout.
- Decide where you will place the die cut shape and openings for your "peek a
boo"
- Cut the die cut out of colored paper and then cut it in half or if you have a purchased
die cut cut it in half. The die cut must be symmetrical for a peek a boo page.
- Using half of the die cut trace the shape onto your middle page with a pencil. Use an
exacto knife to cut out the peek a boo hole. If you are using a Creative Memories
scrapbook style page do NOT cut the jeeping, cut right inside of the jeeping so that your
page will be stronger.
- Use adhesive to place each half of the die cut on the appropriate album pages
- Add the photos, title and journalizing to all pages and add a page protector or slip it
in your top loading page protector.
