Cheryl's Madison Flip Book

The flip book I made for my friend's daughter. One of these days, I'll get it in the mail to her! So hard to get to the post office when they are actually open when you live in a little cow-town. I used Little Yellow Bicycle dsp and matching accessories. The card stock is Bazzill. Thanks for stopping in!!! I know I've been absent a lot. Working on classes again and when you add in regular work and grandbaby time, there isn't much time left over for personal pursuits!

Boy Flip Book

Today, I'm posting the second of the two flip books I made over my break. This one is for a boy. For this one, I was able to use papers and embellishments from my stash except for the buttons. I didn't have any buttons with me when I made the book, so it was a great excuse to buy some more. I really needed those buttons, because I am down to a mere 50,000 or so in my stash which puts me in severe danger of running out! :0) So here's the book!

I plan to see 2010 out by stamping and crafting and then bring in 2011 the same way. Headed of to the LSS (Priceless) both days to spend a little creative time with my stampin' besties!! Happy New Year to all!!

Baby Girl Flip Book

I had to make a couple of flip books over the break. Actually had these done before Christmas, but didn't have them photographed before they go off to their owners. Both are very late!!! I will show you the girl book today. It was made primarily in purple, with touches of green for a secondary color. The papers actually all match very well, but I couldn't get them to photograph or adjust correctly...probably all in the operator :0)

I really love making these books and they seem to be very well received when I give them as gifts. Most of the papers and embellishments are by DoodleBug along with some other misc. papers from the LSS. Had a hard time finding matching stuff in purples. I'm amazed I didn't have anything in my stash. Who says I have too much stuff? Obviously I don't or I would have had everything I needed for this project in my stamping room!! Thanks for stopping in today!!

Baby Safari Flip Book

I made two flip books last weekend when I went to play at Priceless. I am finally getting to post the second one! This one is for my friend's daughter who is expecting a boy.

This is the cover. I used a brad that matched the papers and piece of crafter's floss from Darice to make the closure instead of using ribbon. I think I will add a couple of safari-like beads to the end of the twine. The papers I used are by Imaginisce and have brads and dimensional stickers, stamps, and glitzy stickers to go with them....very cute! Below are pics of the inside pages.

 

And here is a photo of the book standing as if on display. One of the things I love about these little books is how they can be put on display when not in transit.

Thanks for stopping in. I started working on some Valentines, but Kyli is here now and all stamping and crafting has stopped until she leaves tomorrow afternoon. I will definitely be teaching her about stamps and paper as soon as she is old enough!

Girly Flipbook

I want to update on Zack Jones for those of you who may know him or his mother, Sue Jones. There has been no significant change in Zack's condition but they are beginning the process of taking him off the medication that has kept him heavily sedated and weaning him off the life support in hopes that his body will take over the process. It is also hoped that he will regain consciousness soon after the meds have cleared his system. Any prayers for Zack and his family would be greatly appreciated as his prognosis is still completely unknown to the doctors. He is being moved to the neurology department of the hospital, one of the best in the country. He is in the best human hands possible, and in God's hands as well.

I spent an enjoyable day at Priceless Scrapbooks yesterday. It was actually a productive day for me!! I managed to complete two flipbooks for my friend Debbie's daughters who are both expecting babies soon. The oldest girl is expecting a girl in February and so I worked on her book first.
This book was made using Bazill card stock and a paper stack from K and Co. along with some of the available matching embellishments. I very pleased with how this book turned out. I really struggle with the brighter colors when I'm trying to work with them, but I love the results. I uploaded the instructions to make these books on Splitcoaststampers a couple of years ago and they can be found here.  The directions are posted in a Word document in the first two posts of the thread. If  you are already familiar with the flip books and only need the  measurements, another SCSer was very sweet and converted the instructions to a PDF document and posted it as an attachment in post 39 found at the bottom of the same page.
