Easter Flipbook

Hi guys! I hope that you all had a wonderful Easter weekend and that you treated yourself to lots of goodies :) I know I did! I have consumed a ridiculous amount of chocolate over Easter (and before Easter, oops!) and I still have more left to eat! I spent my weekend down in Derbyshire at my lovely friend's engagment party. Congratulation to the both of you! It was great fun and it was so nice to see some of my friends from university that I hadn't seen since we all graduated. I was also pretty proud of myself for going because it was a challenge to be around so many people I didn't know due to my anxiety, but I did it! 

I was supposed to get this post up by Easter Monday, however my body had other ideas and my insomnia has been really intense for the last few days making me too exhausted to do much of anything. So finally, it's time to show all my fellow crafty/stationery lovers, an Easter and Spring themed flipbook made by my very talented sister *pic heavy*. I wish I could make the things that she can! I hope you all enjoy reading :)

I absolutely love the layout of this flipbook; the pages are shaped like Easter eggs, which is such an awesome idea! Each side of the paper is decorated with a pretty floral or Spring design using an array of different ephemera. They all look super pretty! Much like a more traditional flipbook, most of the pages containing pouches/pockets filled with crafty bits & pieces for whoever it is being sent to. If you've never heard of or seen a flipbook before, check out my Birthday Flipbook post for more details on what they are, etc. The rest of this post is going to be filled with photos of this incredible flipbook!

How gorgeous is this flipbook!? I love it soooo much! My sister's penpal is going to be over the moon with this. I love all of the pages so much: the colour schemes and overall themes, all of the different materials used and the way they are set out. They are so vibrant and eye-catching, with so many pretty little details. I adore the entire flipbook, but of course I have my favourite pages. These are the blue polka dot page with the rabbit, funky pink pattern thing and the daffodils, as well as the lilac leaf print page featuring the super cute foamy lilac bunny and 'bloom and grow'. I also really love the page with the little garden gnome on and the pink flower-shaped button. How about you? Which are your favourite pages and why? Let me know in the comments! 

This flipbook really illustrates all of my most loved things about Springtime: flowers, pastel colours appearing throughout nature such as pink pale cherry blossoms, baby animals, new growth and sunshine. Looking at the flipbook made me excited to get out with my camera and capture the essence of Spring in photograph. I hope you all enjoyed today's post :)

Thankyou for reading!

Birthday Flipbook | Blogtober

Happy Tuesday! As many of you will know, it was my 24th Birthday on Saturday. I received some lovely presents from my friends and family, including something from my sister that I really wanted! Both me and my sister have a huge love for stationery and getting crafty, although she's a lot better at it than me! She makes and swaps the prettiest flipbooks! Ever since she started, I wanted her to make me one, and she very kindly made me some for my Birthday :) I wanted to share this lovely flipbook with all my fellow stationery fans. I hope you all enjoy reading! Also, today's Blogtober entry is my 200th blog post, like wow that many already?! Time flies when you're having fun I guess, haha.

When you think of flipbooks, you probably picture one of those super cool books that require you to flip the pages quickly in order to see a clever moving animation. However, in the crafting world, a flipbook is more like a multi-layered and intricate card or booklet filled with all sorts of tabs, pockets and fold out pages. Some flipbooks made by avid crafters can include all sorts of fancy decoration, such as the use of ephemera, which are basically all sorts of little bits and pieces used for scrapbooking or other crafty hobbies. Examples of ephemera are train tickets, old stamps, maps, playing cards etc. Flipbooks can be made using just about anything, and they are also like little scrapbook pages. 

The flipbook that my sister made for me has so many awesome elements, that the only way to show you is by filling the rest of this post with SO MANY PHOTOS! It's seriously so nice!














Seriously, how fabulous is this flipbook!? It has so many gorgeous stickers, emphemera, pockets and such. How adorable are those two mini envelopes that she filled with the sweetest card butterflies and hearts!? I especially love the little pocket on the left hand side with the little 'love ya' tag inside. My sister is not a particular soppy person so I really wasn't expecting that. I also really like all of the birthday references and the big 24! The flipbook also had a big pocket which she packed with the cards and stickers above. It was really nice touch :) She's so good at making these things, right? I am really really happy with my Birthday gift. Thankyou Nicole! 

 Thankyou for reading!
