Here's the cover. The picture & title are printed on printable fabric. You can't see in the picture, but the whole cover is covered with a hard plastic cover (which is great for teething babies!)
Here's the first page. On the right is a preprinted label written on with a fabric marker. On the right is the doghouse page. The dog house is made from two pieces of fabric fused together.
The dogs were made by fusing velcro to craft weight interfacing and then fusing a printed picture (printed treasures, for example) of a dog to that & cutting it out. Behind the dog is another piece of velcro so the dog can be removed & put back.
And under the dog house is another dog made the same way!
The next page is a lady bug inspired by http://thecraftingchicks.com/2009/09/tiffanys-quiet-book.html
With a picture hidden inside
This page started out being inspired by this page http://shannonmakesstuff.blogspot.com/2010/07/quiet-book-page-fishing-with-peter.html
But then the fishing men in her life were added into the picture (see, Daddy is holding the baby). The men, fish & cooler were all printed on printable fabric.
The hook has velcro on the back & the fish all have velcro on the top, so you can catch the fish. Of course, they are tethered down with ribbon so you don't lose them!
This chick in the egg started as an idea from here: http://thecraftingchicks.com/2011/01/beths-adorable-felt-book-for-baby.html
And then a page to practice lacing! Then "they lived happily ever after"
The back cover has another beloved doggie.
Also - here is a pig made of paper mache & then cover with scraps of fabric. The feet, nose & ears were all made from egg crates.
Love the book and the pig! Hooray for Aunt Kas!
