Hello...  I am Athena from The Stuff of Success. I am so pleased to be here today with Lisa on Lisa's Craft Blog! This is a great opportunity and I thrilled to meet you all.

My blog is the pride and joy of my kids and I!  The Stuff Of Success is dedicated to living life well, inexpensively.  Our blog was developed to help prove that success is not the result of wealth.  We focus on crafts, family, repurposing/recycling, cheap or free deals, with a bit of life's humor along the way. As an added bonus - every now and then my children do a "solo" project specifically for the blog.  Another aspect of our blog is that my children are all adopted with special needs. As a result, many projects are adaptations or solutions to everyday difficulties that may be helpful to families with similar situations.  I look forward to showing you all one of my project's - The Flip Deck of Photos!

You need a large binder ring, wallet sized photos, a hole punch and time… I also used a very heavy scrapbook paper for the front cover and a plain heavy scrapbook paper for the back cover. You can certainly use photos printed on regular photo paper but I printed these with my inkjet printer on the heaviest cardstock I could find. I selected photos from our previous full year with all of our trips, activities, holidays and celebrations.

I also made a set for my husband but that set was with 3 1/2 x 5 photos and required two punched holes for two rings. And for the covers on his I used scrapbook paper adhered to chip board - I wanted to add a layer of protection to the larger sized photos.

I hope you enjoyed this project and there are so many other ideas at The Stuff Of Success such as my favorites below.
