Favorite Quiet Book Pages Yet!

I had a lot of fun doing these last two pages and I think they turned out as some of the best. I think I had the most fun with them because I did them all by myself and didn't follow any pattern or instructions.
I had seen the concept of flowers being buttoned on like this but I decided how to do it all. I made the flowers the same way I made the shapes on the first page so that there would be some consistency in the book. And then I thought it would be cute to do the stems out of ribbon, and I also made little leaves with the ribbon.

I got the concept for this page from Homemade By Jill where she made a rocket ship travel along a ribbon. But I wanted to change it and make a page in honor of Brad who is in the progress of getting a job as an Air Traffic Controller (the guys who sit in the tower). Brad also has his private pilots license and loves flying so I thought my kids would enjoy a page about there dad.
I have other things I need to be working on so I try to tell myself to finish and just put the pages that I have so far together in the book. But I just keep saying "oh but I want to do this such and such page, and oh I have to do this one..." But I definitely only have 2-3 more pages that I have in mind. So I am almost done!!!

Wow Janae! I am so impressed-- I would love to be as crafty as you! The quiet book is really cute-- I like your airplane page better than Jills. Levi is getting so big and is darling!
