Ok , scrappy friends I have a new project done and want to show ya'll. Now some of my friends from Shabby Chic Crafters on Facebook has done seen. I have made it for my Mom on Mother's Day.

 I made it out of a bottle rocker or bottle cradle, which ever one you would like to call it. My fiance got it from work, he works part time at a Liquor store. He is all the time bringing me goodies home for me. And that is just one of the things I love about him. But, anyways back to the project. It is a Shabby Chic flip book.

first got a friend of mine to drill the holes bigger in the sides where I could put the dowel,through it to hold the flip book, gessoed and painted each of them with warm white. then added texture with a brick stencil. 

Here are some other shots of the flip book.

Off to the side I made a swing out of chipboard and used Lindy's Stamp Gang to make it look like wood. used twin to hang it up. I also used a couple flowers  to put on it. And also used a Martha Stewart  punch for the butterfly. 

 Now the sides were embellished the same. Also used Prima Say it with Pearls cut and put up the sides.to make a vine.

 The flip book was made with chipboard and Graphic 45 Secret Garden paper. front and back. I embellished it with WOC flowers, flowers from my stash,pearl trim, and cut outs and cut banners from the paper.  

I hope to put a tutorial on YouTube soon of how I have made the flip book. 

 I hope you enjoy it, and all thoughts and comments are welcome.
