5x7 Flipbook

I have been wishing and washing over what to make for my in-laws this Christmas. I have some lovely photos (their wedding picture, pictures of them in college, some pics of their kids when young, etc) that I want to incorporate into a nice project for them. I really wanted to make them a cool altered canvas.....but, I thought it might be a little too "artsy" for them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Along comes my "Queen in Shining Armor"....... Lisa Somerville! :) She posted a fabby flipbook project on her blog with a tutorial! It uses supplies I have AND I get to play with my Bind-it-All. Please see Lisa's project and tutorial here: http://lisasomerville.blogspot.com/2007/08/4-x-4-bind-it-all-flip-book-tutorial.html
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


My version is a 5x7 book. I am going to embellish with the photos I mentioned above. I asked my In-Laws for their favorite colors, their favorite photos, and some words to describe each other. (Their colors were blue, green, purple, and silver) All of these tid-bits will be incorporated into the final book.



Here is a sneak peek at the "un-embellished" book! I'll post the finished project (hopefully SOON!)
