Butterfly Kisses just makes me happy. I have fallen in love with the colors, the icons, the spring patterns... just everything! I couldn't wait to play with it! I decided to make a fun Tag Flip Mini Album to celebrate spring. Take a peek...
I started by making my cover. I cut 3 pieces of chipboard... 2 pieces 4.25" x 6.75" for the covers, and one 1.25"x 6.75" for the spine. I arranged and glued them to a piece of the Garden Gingham plaid paper leaving about 0.5" around and wrapped to form my cover. I covered the inside of the book with a piece of the bubblegum colored side of the Butterfly Kisses paper.
To decorate my cover, I added a rectangle of the Butterfly Kisses paper to the front, and lots of butterflies and flowers from the Bits & Pieces pack. I used some Beetle Black Alphabet Soup letters and a Chit Chat piece for my title.
Inside the front cover I added a photo spot, with some Odds & Ends and a Chit Chat speech bubble. On the right side, I punched a hole about 0.75" down and in the center to hold my book ring/ tags.
The Happy Thoughts Tag paper is one of my favorites! I cut all six tags from the paper to use as the pages of my book. I stitched coordinating papers to the back of each tag using my sewing machine. I also cut a few smaller tags using a die from my stash to mix it up a little. Then came the fun part... decorating the pages/tags!
For my photo spots, I used some stitched rectangle and square dies from my stash. I added some tabs to some of the pages using a tab punch. It was fun decorating all the pages! I used Chit Chats, Odds & Ends, This & That Stickers, Icon Stickers, Puffy Icon Stickers and the new Puffy Words! And let's not forget all the fun shaped sprinkles!
I also traced one of the tags onto the Butterfly Kisses Heavyweight Acetate and cut it to make another fun page. I added rectangle photo spots to each side and some This & That Sticker words. I lined them up so that they matched on both sides!
I love how this turned out! It's all ready for my spring photos! I created a video short flip through, I always think it's more fun to see things in action!
That's it for me today, thank you for stopping by to peek!
These are keepsakes
