Last weekend I went to 2 blog hops... I'm not sure in which one I got this idea - I think I actually seen it on both hops - but I am not positive! Either way - the following idea is all because of THAT - one of the hops! I went onto YouTube.com and found mysistersscrapper and watched the series of video's before I even started on the "creation". I have scrapbooked for 15 years but have never done a paper bag album...I am now hooked! This gal has a bunch of video's...you want to start at this particular one and go all the way through... I'm not going to give you the directions because of hers!
For the first page, you want to
start here! This is pages 8
and 9 - for the entire project I used the following supplies:
 |
| Page 8 |
6 paper bags

K&Company Grand Adhesions

| Page 9 |
Page 8 has the same pocket with a simple tag for photos to be placed on it, and a really neat tag with the corner that curls! On the bottom of the pocket, you have another fun tag, and then 2 envelopes with little books in them!
Page 9 has the large pocket at the top with the tag you can either put journaling or photos on! Another great hidden feature with the pocket that hold's the small book - again to allow for more photos or journaling!
With each of the two sets of pages, they end up looking "alike" but yet different! Each of them have the same pockets holding the booklet, and the pocket either flips up or to the side, depending on what mood I was in! I tried not to let them look "cookie cutterish" but tried to keep it cohesive all at the same time! I hope you enjoy the project so far and keep coming back to check out the rest of this awesome book! I am doing another one as we speak...a gift for my sister, who has done so much for me - her son is moving closer to me, so it will be fun for us to spend more time with her kids! Anyway - we aren't even half way done yet, so check back every day until next week for 2 more pages of the creation!
Thanks for stopping by,
