THE FAIR FLIPBOOK/SIMPLE STORIES

Hello, friends. I'm excited to share my latest creation using Simple Stories' Fun Times collection. I was super excited when I saw this collection because I have carnival photos from when Edward was about 7 that I never did anything with due to not having the right supplies and well, this collection is just perfect!

I really enjoy working with the 4x6 flipbooks. They are super simple to use and it makes it easy to make a mini album in just a few hours.

I printed a variety of photos after I edited them in Photoshop. Some photos are 4x6 while others are 3x4. I like using different sizes depending on the type of page I am working with and I'm going to share a few of those ideas throughout this post. I take advantage of the white space on the photos to include die cuts, stickers and decorative brads. It's super simple, but it really adds a great deal of interest to the pages.

Sometimes, a little goes a long way...not all pages need to have a ton of embellishments. I layered the drink and pretzel die cut to the 4x6 card and added the fireworks die next to the title to fill in the white space.

I cut two journaling cards so they were connected vertically to create a flip page. Next, I added the stickers and layered the "yes" flag using foam squares to add dimension.

This is a simple spread. I cut the patterned paper to measure 4x6, matted the photo with orange patterned paper. I cut another strip of patterned paper to adhere across the 4x6 base. Next, I mounted the photo down along with the die cuts and stickers.

I created the flip page by cutting 3 3x4 journaling cards so they were connected. Next, folded the left side in to create the flip and added the cut-apart tag. I decorated the 4x6 photo using die cuts.

LOVE the ferris wheel 3x4 card! I added the decorative brad to the center to add dimension. Next, I added another flip page. I cut the photo so I would fit within the journaling card and added a few stickers. 

I'm loving all the interactive pages throughout this album. It adds a great deal of movement and it just makes the album so much fun, and playful.

I cut 2 3x4 journaling cards so they were connected and used the left side as a frame for the photo. Next, I used foam squares to mount down the balloons and added a few foam stickers and the decorative brad.

Isn't this album so much fun? The embellishments are so perfect and they just scream carnival! I also created a YouTube Video on how I put the majority of this album together. Check it out below and click on my affiliate link, here to shop for the Fun Times collection!
