If you?re like many scrapbookers, vacations get you snap-happy, and you shoot tons of photos. When it comes time to scrapbook them, though, it?s easy to feel a bit overwhelmed. Hi, Stacy Cohen here, and today I?m going to share a fun idea for scrapbooking your summer travel photos!
With summer winding down and my kids back in school, I am now turning my attention to scrapping the photos I took on our family vacation last month. Because this was our first big family vacation, I went a little overboard with the picture-taking. I took hundreds of photos. Obviously I couldn?t scrap them all, so I wanted to maximize the number of photos I can get on a single page.
One way to do this is to create a mini flip book on a layout. The beauty of this is that you can use standard full-size photos (i.e., 4? x 6? or 3? x 5?), and it?s a really great way to use those adorable 6? x 6? scrapbook paper pads.

I created a vertical stack of tabbed layers that can lifted up to reveal the photo underneath.
My flip book has six layers. This is enough for six or seven photos, depending on whether you place a picture directly on the paper underneath the bottom tab. You could easily add more photo layers to your page by placing each layer closer together, and you can double the number of photographs by attaching a photo to both sides of each layer. Another variation is to create a horizontal flip book going across the page.
I got this fabulous idea from a layout in the September/October 2012 issue of Creating Keepsakes magazine.

It?s very easy to create a mini flip book. Just follow these instructions from the September/October issue.
1. Adhere one 6?x 6? sheet to the layout.
2. Adhere another sheet to the top edge of the first sheet. Repeat for desired quantity.
3. Add photos, tabs, and embellishments as desired.
I hope you?ve been inspired to give this idea a try!
