Well, I took my son to McDonalds the other day and they had this great little flip thingy in his happy meal. It's kind of like a waterfall card but with more and bigger parts. So I took away his toy to use as a pattern. And this is what I came up with!
I say it is like a waterfall card because you pull the left piece that has the pocket with "friend" on it and it pulls the other pieces open like a waterfall card. I'm listing everything I used to make this on this first picture description.

This is gorgeous!! I love all the detail and your color choices are great. I can't figure out from the pictures how it's made, though. Any chance you'll post directions :d ?

You are a stampin' super star! I just threw my DD's flippin' Mc-card in the trash with the Mc-Leftovers! I considered copying it for oh...about 1/2 of a second. You really made my day! I LOVE it!

this is so creative!!! I just love what you did with the stamp sets you picked. You got the idea from McDonalds toy???? guess it's been to long since I had kids that age. If you can share the pattern, I too would like to have it. Keep up the fantastic work! Teresa

Okay, I just e-mailed my moms' club group to see if anyone has the flip book and is willing to give it to me. They are going to think I'm crazy!!! If you do share the instructions I'd love to have them in case noone gets back to me. Thank you.
