A boyish happy mail

Well I know it seems like I'm wearing out this Authentique paper collection, but I promise they just seem to show up in sequential blog posts & none of these pages or projects appear together in a scrapbook!

Today I'm sharing a happy mail envelope flip book I created for a sweet lady named Fatimah in a swap group I am a part of on Facebook. She surprised me with an amazing happy mail all the way back before HALLOWEEN! And I unfortunately just had time to finish this response. These holiday times were super busy!

Fatimah and I both have two boys, so I created a boy themed flip book for her. Here I embossed a stamp on an old dictionary page, and I added some little boy themed/colored trading cards cut from the Authentique Darling Boy collection.

On the opposite side I made the paper clip with a chipboard piece from American Crafts.

 In the middle I have a quote card with a vellum envelope of sequins. One the last opening there is a shaker pocket.

The last envelope contains a few goodies for Fatimah to use in her crafting & some tea.

On the back I have a brown paper bag containing my note! The quote came from the branding strip off the paper.

Thanks for looking!

Happy Mail - My first FLIP BOOK!

Happy hump day, everyone!

Today, I'm bringing you the first happy mail I have made for my friend Cheryl!

I had a lot of fun making this happy mail, and I also learned a few things!

I will attempt sewing on my next book to keep the pockets together better.

I know some of the supplies included seem random, but they fit with projects Cheryl is currently working on, so hopefully she felt that when she received it! :)

Current obsession: Shaker pockets - I think we all know this about now. I got a big pack of this transparency paper. I'm taking suggestions of how to use it! :)

I'm also really feeling this cork paper right now!

I have also posted a very bad quality video of a flip through this book on my YouTube channel at Natalie Dill. I am also open to suggestions on how to get the quality up, as I am frustrated because I was using my DSLR on this one! I think it's an SD card issue, and I intend to acquire an HD video card and see if that helps.



Thanks for looking!
