The booklet shows by folding back and forth. There are 6 surfaces one way, and 6 surfaces the other. You can either look at 2 pages at a time or unfold the whole thing. I've done each 2 pages with a theme, then additional pictures from that theme are on pull out tabs.
On this page for their birthday -- by the way, J.T. turned 9 and Hannah 6, and their birthdays are celebrated together because they are only a week apart -- they are with their cakes, and the tab shows some presents, etc. (To my friend Sue, the super cakemaker: Sue, close your eyes and pass this one by. Don't laugh at my cakes!) The cakes barely survived frosting with SOFT frosting, traveling 95 miles in the car in the August heat, sitting on the table all day, putting back together a time or two, not to mention little fingers that just had to taste. But, as funny as they look, the kids loved them. Hannah got the giggles a time or two. The frosting on her doll kept slipping off her "boobs" and down to her waistline. Hannah laughed that she had to push the frosting back up to keep her decent. Ha ha, Hannah, I had your number. You tasted frosting every time!
With this page I show how one of the tabs is done. The tabs pull out from under the pages. There are 10 full pages -- and a front cover and back cover -- so with the 5 pull out tabs I was able to incorporate 37 pictures and the highlights from most of 2011. My son will have plenty to show off -- if he likes it!
Today I am off to my craft room. I want to have a completed challenge for you tomorrow. I need to do a birthday card but, hey, what are challenges for? I should be able to do a birthday card AND a challenge all in one, right?
Have a wonderful weekend.
Crafty Hugs,
Sandy
