Alexandra Morein (you are here)


In order to win leave a comment answering the question – “What is your favorite “can’t live without” craft supply or tool?”

Here’s the prize drawing widget:


Each of the blog hop participants is ready to share with you an idea for a project, which is both simple and yet effective.

My contribution and suggestion is creating an interactive flip book. 



The flip book that you see at the picture above was created not so long ago and (for a change) I decided to make it with a fabric cover. You can view the post with more pictures here.


There were several versions of Flip Books which I created before. You can make them either single or double, embellish the front cover to your liking and give away to the friends and the close people. I am sure they will like it, and you will have a ton of fun making them. 

A few examples for you to see...
Here is the double flip book which was created with the Bird Song papers by Graphic 45. 
It is 4.5 X 4.5":


Here is one more, using the Authentique "Durable" paper collection:


You can find a video tutorial for creating this book on my You Tube Channel:



Once you understand the way of constructing the 4.5 X 4.5" book, you can use my picture tutorial and to create a larger (6X6") flip book, using the measurements from that post.


Have fun hopping and good luck in the prize winning!!!

    Thank you for your ideas and inspiration with this flip book. Such a lovely present to give that can create lots of memories too. My favourite can't live without craft items are embellishments of pearls, ribbons and butterflies
