My Vertical Paper Bag Idea -

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 16 and 17 - for the entire project I used the following supplies:  

Page 16

6 paper bags

K&Company TC Cottage Garden paper

Colorbok white cardstock

Unknown brand red, yellow and green cardstock

K&Company Grand Adhesions stickers

K&Company Susan Winget die cut cardstock & acetate

Basic Grey Designer Rub-ons

Making Memories pockets

Pressed Petals real flower confetti

Dimensional pop dots

Family Treasures corner punch

Paper trimmer w/score attachment

Recollections rhinestone stickers

Misc. buttons 

Making Memories Decorative Brads (square and circles)

Page 17

Page 16 was a lot of fun to create, not only does the pocket have a space for photos or journaling, it also has the small envelope with the little book inside, and the piece on the pocket actually folds out allowing for 5 photos or a mixture of journaling and photos.  I love the little dragon fly embellishment in the corner - as a way to help open up the page, and the butterfly on the envelope as well!!!  
For page 17, has the same features as the other pages that have this style of photo matt with the piece opening up to allow for 2 more photos!  It also has the pocket at the top of the photo matt as well as the larger pocket at the top which allows for another 3 photos at least!  If you need to add more photos, you could always add them to the top with more larger tags!  
Now, if you scroll down to the next post, you will actually get to pages 18 and 19...tomorrows post will be for pages 20 and 21 - keeping in mind you can also see pages 22 and 23 in the same post!  By May 1st you should see the entire 24 pages in the album minus the cover!  

Thanks for stopping by,
