Flipbook tag

I signed up to send a flipbook to someone in one of my groups. But, this time I decided to add to one someone had sent me. The base was already done, so I just added to it, I thought it had a bit of a fall theme, so I went with that.

Front:

 I added the good times popped up on foam tape,
First flip:

 I added the tree and sequins to the left page and the striped paper and flowers to the right page.
Second flip:

 I didn't add anything to the left page, and only added the quote to the right page.
Third flip:

 I added the flowers to the left page and the butterfly to the right page.
Left page opened::

I added the 'crown diamonds' piece and the washi.
Here's what I received in return:

 I'm not quite sure how it was considered a flip book. It was taped up, so I took off the tape and it was just glassine bags filled with goodies, there was nothing to flip. But, here are the goodies that were in the bag:

Interesting selection of goodies, but I kinda wish I had gotten an actual flip book.

More ATCs

I think I should up to make more ATCs, I forgot how much fun they are to make.
First up, summer ATCs:

 I used some cloud paper as the background, I added some grass I got in a swap, a snail sticker, a girl in a 'camp' shirt, a glittered butterfly and a jewel butterfly. I love that girl in the camp shirt. The second one I used rock paper as the background, added a pinwheel I cut from a card I added a toothpick to the bottom and a flat back pearl to the center. I also added a word after taking the picture.
Here's what I received back:
Random ATC:

Like the last few randoms, I just cleaned up my desk to make this.  The background is a journaling card. the middle piece is from a birthday card, the butterfly, hearts, stars and words are all stickers. I love how bright and happy it is.
Here's what I received back:

Isn't he cute?

And the summer ATCs:

These are very cute.

Sweet Treats Tag Flip Book

I've been wanting to try a tag flip, and when one of my groups posted one with a sweet treats theme, I jumped on it.
We had to have 4 decorated tags with the theme
2 pocket tags
1 quote tag
2 washi samples.
I had picked up some wall stickers at Dollar Tree specifically for this swap as well as some cupcake themed invitations at a garage sale.
Here's what I created.
The front:

 This is one of the Dollar Tree wall stickers.
Back of this tag:

 I stuck the sticker on some green cardstock for the top and some beige cardstock for the sticks. I cut down a project life card for the back.
Second card:

 I got these donut die cuts in a swap, the 'from the bakery' piece is from a paper that had a lot of cute sale sayings, the stickers are from my stash.
Back:

The ice cream paper has been in my stash for awhile. The two black pieces are from the same paper as the black piece above. The small stickers are from a sticker book from Walmart, The corner paper is a cut down project life card, and the big candy sticker is a puffy sticker from Hobby Lobby.
Third card:

 The macaroon piece is from Hobby Lobby, the macaroon stickers are from Walmart, and the 'totally yum' is a project life card.
Back:

 This is one of my pocket cards. The background piece actually has a donut on it. I just attached the front piece with washi and put some stickers in it.
A stamp set from Dollar Tree:

 Fourth tag:

 There's that ice cream paper again. I found this project life card in my stash and the stickers are from a carnival themed sticker sheet. I added some cupcake washi to the bottom.
The back:

 I was originally going to have this be the quote tag, but I wasn't sure if it was supposed to be a sweet treat themed quote, or just a random quote, so I thought this way I was covered both ways. It's actually a project life card, I added some gems to the top and the gem ice cream.
Washi samples:

 Fifth tag:

 Here's the invitations I bought, I made a pocket at the bottom, by cutting off the bottom of another invitation. I used some more of those donut die cuts to make a paper clip, and left the rest in the pocket.
The back:

 I covered it with some sprinkle paper and another one of the Dollar Tree wall stickers with some gems at the bottom.
Sixth card:

 This one has popsicle paper as the background and I just attached a sheet of stickers.
The back:

 A scrap of the sprinkle paper and some more of that black paper, it was covered in these cute pieces I just cut apart. I added some stickers that looked like malts and shakes. The sticker on the top is actually a scented sticker.
Last card:

 I found the 'tutti fruitti' piece in my stash and just added some popsicle stickers.
The back:

Again with the popsicle paper, I just added some foam stickers to it.
I had fun making this, I will definitely be making more in the future. I'm also excited I used some stuff that's been sitting in my stash for awhile. I'm *trying* to use more of my stash and not buy more stuff.
Here's what I received, it's beautiful. I was feeling great about mine, but this one is amazing. I love that she used doodle bug papers and embellishments. I love doodle bug, I just don't like paying the prices for them.

How cute is everything?
And the extras she sent in the package:

How cute are these? I love it when people make me rosettes. I love rosettes, but I feel my handmade ones are not as nice as the ones made with dies and punches.

Back to School pocket letter and bookmark

I had suggested in one of my groups that we do a back to school bookmark, so when the swap appeared that was a pocket letter and bookmark, I kinda felt obligated to do it. I feel like I don't have a lot of back to school crafting stuff.

 I used some grey paper that I thought kinda looked like a chalkboard with some 'note paper' layered on it. I found some owls that were in a school sticker book. I specifically bought the sticker sheet that had the scissors, schoolbus, and triangle thing for this swap. I had found a sheet of pencil, fountain pens and crayon stickers at a garage sale. The dinosaur just looked like she was studying, so I added her. The 'back to school' sticker is from a planner set. The crayons and easel are from the same sheet. I cut out the 'wise university' from the cover of the owl sticker sheet. The pencil is actually a name tag, I added another planner sticker to the top that says school supplies on it. The mouse die cut I got in a swap. The beakers are from the owl sticker book. I added some washi on each row: pencils, books and apples.
The goodies:

 stickers, school bus confetti, those pencil labels, washi samples and some sticky notes.
The back:

 My bookmark:

 The background is actually from a library pamphlet I picked up in St. Louis. The letters are from a sticker sheet that looks like chalkboard.
What I received:

 It's very cute. I love my partner's use of die cuts and that pencil.
The back:

She also sent me some die cuts of books, schoolbusses and a pencil. She included some apple ribbon, the same school bus sequins I did and some book paper clips as well as washi, some punchouts and some sticky notes.

September calendar tag

It's that time again, here's what I created for the September calendar tag:

I went with a cloud background. I added the cloud chipboard sticker to the top as well, along with an acetate tree, some chipboard insects and this metal word piece I found in my stash.
Here's what my partner sent me:

 I like the tag, did you see all the butterflies around that quote? The colors just make me think of Christmas.
Extras she included:
