Circle flip-up book

I made this darling little circle flip-up book for my youngest daughter's 18th bday. I love love love how this turned out (it is so much cuter in real life). The cover is all items I had in my stash that I wanted to use up.
Split coast stampers has featured these and I had been wanting to try one. I made an svg file to cut out the base of mine. I made mine as large as the mat would hold (I think around 11.50" and then saw that I had saved a cut file from the cricut mb for one that had the designer paper cuts as well. The cricut file I have needed quite a few paper size adjustments so I had some hand trimming to do. Here is the website for directions on these:

This is the first circle. I used a child's year card feature for the hidden photo mats and the "18";
butterflys from stash; flat back pearls and sizzix closures; home decor for the tiara's and the flower/dragonfly group on the bottom left

this picture shows the hidden photo mats that are revealed when you slide the black sizzix closure.

top view looking down. the bottom half of these fold up into the top half when closed.

for the next circle I used a child's year tag feature and hid the hole in design studio to make them photo mats; graphically speaking for "she's all that" and flowers

for this page I wanted another interactive fun page so the top right is tied shut to hide another photo mat. All photo mats were cut using a file I created to resemble the ms double loop punch; all flowers and butterfly's were from stash.

here is the top right opened up to reveal photo mats.

this last circle I cut photo corners large enough to make pockets for the tags to fit in. I thought my daughter could use the tags for photos.

close up of the flowers cut from accent essentials and added heart buttons.

here is a picture of the album opened up. You can tie these open and display if you like also.
It is too bad that my pictures are not that great because this is so super cute in person!
