Did you ever come across a scrapbook supply that provided you with instant inspiration. I love it when that happens. On a recent shopping trip, I discovered these plain chipboard albums from the company Cloud 9. The coolest thing about these little books is that they also came with a box that the finished album could be stored in. In my hast to get creative, I forgot to take pictures of the before project but I have lots of after pictures to share. The shape of these little books were so unique I instantly thought of turning them into a counting book. And with the perfect number of pages provided, my mind was twirling with ideas. Some time ago I purchesed two clear stamp sets from Sandylion designs. I admit I have a thing for big chunky animal stamps and these sets were too adorable to pass up. There is a little girl set as well as one themed for little boys. After stamping the images on patterened paper, I cut them out in the appropriate number and created this fun little book.
This project was so much fun to complete. It takes me back to when I used to read counting books to Alex. I am showing the little girl version today. Check back tomorrow and I will post pictures of the little boy version. Have a Happy Friday!!!!

What a cute, cute book, and what a nice gift that would make too!!! I'm continue to be envious of your creativity!! :-)))
What a great book! So very cute!! I must ask what you use to do the little stitches of thread on the paper...I have been looking for a little sewing machine that does paper projects but have yet to find one. Your projects are so wonderful to see..thanks for sharing!

I am so in love with the mice....but then I like the bunnies and the duck/chicks, too! As always, you've done a delightful job that any grandmother would love to read to her grandchild. Hmmm-did I say grandmother?
Very cute--the book would make a great shower gift.

I love your little book and I will be back tomorrow to see your other book. I see so many neat things when I read other people's blogs and visit their etsy shops if they have one. have a great weekend.
How adorable. I found a couple of chip board books in Michaels at the dollar section. I needed some inspiration. Thanks! Mimi
Hi Mimi! Love all your projects. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of camera do you use? You always have wonderful photos. I am in the search of a small digital camera and was hoping you'd share your info with me. Thank you!
