Sun Hats and Sunflowers

I have at long last completed my Flip Book, I followed a tutorial by Gloria Stengel to create the flip book base, I just added a few extra pockets to mine.  I used a combination of Graphic 45's French Country Collection and Place in Time Collection to decorate it.

This is the front cover, it mainly uses papers from the Place in Time collection, the sunflowers are from the French Country collection - the book is secured with a ribbon.

Below the album is opened to show the inside front cover with a folder in the pocket and the back page closed.

Next you can see the back page opened to reveal a matching pocket with another folder inside - you can find photographs of both folders and the tags that are also in the album HERE.  The centre page has a belly band, I have placed a journal card behind it.

You open the centre page to the left and there is a pocket with two tags in it along with another page with a belly band and a journal card.

You open this page to the right to reveal another page with a pocket and journal card.  In the centre are two half pages.

The two half pages open to reveal another pocket with a journal card and a larger tag inside.

These projects are quite time consuming but fun to create and they do use quite a bit of paper, so at least I am using up some of my stash!

French Country

I am currently working on a little Flip Book, there are quite a few pages so I thought I would share some of the tags and inserts that I have created to put in it - it makes the post very photo heavy if I share everything together!

I used a combination of the Graphic 45 French Country collection and the Place in Time collection to create everything.  Below you can see a couple of small folders, I used my Graphic 45 Folder die to create the top one.

Next are three tags, I used a Studio Light die to create the centre one, it has a pocket with a smaller tag inside, the two outside ones were created with a Hunkydory punch.

Time to Flourish Album

I decided to create a Mini Album/Birthday Book with my Graphic 45 Time to Flourish collection, I thought I would start with the Autumn Months.

I used a Graphic 45 Ivory Rectangle Tag & Pocket Album, I will create my own album in future though, it is much easier to decorate than a ready made one.

I'm not very happy with it so far and don't know if I will bother to finish it, I seem to run out of inspiration and get bored after a little while at the moment!

Trick or Treat

This is the final card that I have created with the October pages from my Graphic 45 Place in Time Collection - thank goodness for that I hear you say!

I have used up all of the little bits and bobs that I had left over from the other three cards on this one, the Trick or Treat sentiment is from an old Echo Park collection I think, everything else is from the Place in Time collection.

Pumpkin Time

Another Halloween card created with my Graphic 45 Place in Time collection, I love the vintage images in this collection.

Everything is from the October pages from the collection, all I have added are some flowers cut from orange cardstock using my Marianne CreaTables Sunflower dies.

October 31

This is the second card that I have created with the October pages from my Graphic 45 Place in Time Collection.

The spider paper is from the Graphic 45 An Eerie Tale Collection and the sentiment is from my stash along with the buttons and ribbon.  All of the other papers and the topper are from the Place in Time Collection.

Happy Halloween

I have moved on to the October pages of my Graphic 45 Place in Time collection now and I have created a Halloween card - it's going to be a very odd Halloween this year isn't it!

My inspiration came from a Graphic 45 Inspiration sheet, there are lots available on the Graphic 45 website.  The dotty paper, borders and topper all come from the collection, I added some cardstock, ribbon and a charm.

School Days

This is the second card that I have created with my Graphic 45 Place in Time collection, I used the September papers again.

I cut six small squares from one of the papers and arranged them on my card with a couple of borders across the centre, I then fussy cut all of the stamps and the little tag and added them using foam pads for dimension.  All I have added is a couple of layers of card stock along with some ribbon and twine from my stash.

Autumn Time

I decided to have a play with one of the many Calendar collections that I have, I love Calendar collections - I have the Graphic 45 Time to Flourish, Place in Time and Fashion Forward.  I also have the Authentique Calendar Collection so I thought it is time that I actually used one of them.

I decided to use the Graphic 45 Place in Time Collection and started with the September pages, my inspiration came from a card created by Kathy Clement but of course I made mine a little different.  There are two sheets for each month, they are both the same and have Cut-Aparts on one side and three different patterned papers on the reverse, I used several elements from the Cut-Apart sheet and two of the papers.
