Summer Fun!

Hello, my friends! I have something a little different for you today! Well...not completely different since it is the second time I've done one...but not like this one! lol Okay, I'll just get to it, shall I? I have a slideshow for you!
I've just completed one of the bigger projects I was working on. It's this super fun flip book! I decided the best way to show you would be with a slideshow. Wouldn't you know Smilebox had the perfect template for it. I think it's just the cutest design and suited my mini to a T.
This flip book is for a dear friend and neighbor. She and her husband have the sweetest little boy and girl ever. So this was personalized for her to fill with their "Summer Fun" photos. I did have a different design in mind. Then one day when I was visiting my friends over on YouTube I happened to see Beverly's video for this Flip Book and knew this was the design I had to use. Beverly has the greatest videos, and you can see the inspiration video HERE...AFTER you've seen my slideshow! lol
The book measures 6" X 8 1/2 " when it's closed, and when it's fully opened it measures 24" X 8 1/2". Every flip and flap is decorated except for the very back. I used the Echo Park Splash Collection, cardstock from my stash, and a few unknown papers. There are some descriptions at the bottom in the slideshow. If you have any questions about anything, please ask! I hope you enjoy! :o)

Hi Nancy - I have been visiting your blog but not always able to leave a comment thanks to my poor internet connection!
Loved your mini and it makes a perfect gift too:)

Adore what you did with altering the photo of your girls in the last post, great way to alter that pic. Hope your darling daughters thought it was fun :)
