This week's post was so looong, I had to cut it into 2 parts. So part one is this week and part 2 will be for next week's hop.
The Blog Group I belong to is having a "Secret Owl Swap." We had to send our "owlet" something crafty to work with (I sent a set of {ippity} stamps, of course) and something handmade. This is my handmade project, a mini album. This is the cover.

Every page has a tag that pulls out:
Pages 2 and 3:
Pages 4 and 5 (here comes the {ippity} part):
The page on the left is actually a "flip flap album." The directions can be found here. I'll be posting the pages of the flip flap album page next week. I used images from "Now and Always" on the mini album cover. The bird on the right is from "Sing a New Song."
The tag for the page on the right:
Pages 6 and 7:

The "background" for the flower is the heart image form "Music of My Heart" stamped in a circular pattern.

This image is from Sweet Pea Stamps. I know its not an {ippity} stamp, but on my "other" blog I've been practicing coloring with Copic markers, these stamps were great for skin tones and hair color. Since my "owlet" has been very kind and encourages me to continue practicing I thought I should send her an image. Thanks for looking!
