PAPER BAGS ARE NOT JUST FOR GROCERIES ANYMORE

Oh, how I wish I had taken pictures of this paper bag album before I filled it all up!! I really was flat and neat looking!


Back in January I took a class on paper bag albums that you can go back and look at if you want. That lesson inspired me to make this jumbo paper bag album out of large grocery bags. Inside I used various sizes of bags as well, like liquor and lunch sizes.

I also used lots of chipboard tags that I covered with papers and large sheets of chipboard that I put tabs on the edges (that you can see sticking out) . These large sheets are tucked into the open ended edges of the bags - hope that makes sense. Again...wish I took pics before I did the work!

As you can see, this book is WAY too full! I did not anticipate this problem when I made it.

I found great die-cuts at scrapyourtrip.com - including the country titles I used and this one for the "muster drill".

This is where I used the liquor bags and cut/folded them to make pockets. In each pocket are either 1 or 2 tags and even my post cards

These pockets are made from lunch bags and stand up instead of the previous ones that stick out. These have much larger tags. I think you can see them sticking out a little. The section does flip in the center.

I also found this neat life preserver border on scrapyourtrip.com

Here are some of the titles I got at that web site.

Last page - Yes, that's me with a drink...well, 2 drinks.

The End!

Thanks for looking!!
