Have ya' wondered where I've been :) ? I've never, ever made a paper bag album yet, and I've wanted to make one for a really long time. I looked online for some instructions and, WOW! Paper bag albums have come a long way baby!!! I found some awesome videos on Youtube by The Paper Trail for mini albums. I loved one of them so much, I set about to make one of my own :). That's where I've been... making paper bag albums! I had so much fun! I used the Everyday Enchantment DSP from the Sale-a-bration brochure. What PRETTY paper! This post has 19 photos so be prepared to be here for a few minutes :)...

| The top of the book |
 |
| The entire front cover (made with duck cloth that I painted with gloss acrylic paint) |
 |
| Close up of the rose (Very Vanilla, inked with Peach Parfait) |
 |
| Close up of the butterflies- added Dazzling Details |
 |
| First two pages- the left side has a pocket |
 |
| Pages 3 and 4- I used the Two Tags die and the Scalloped Envelope die |
 |
| The other side of the center flap on pages 3 and 4 |
 |
| Pages 5 and 6- I used the Top Note and Beautiful Wings embosslit |
 |
| Pages 7 and 8- used the Scribble Swirls Sizzlit and the new Hearts embosslit |
 |
| Pages 8 and 9- not done yet |
 |
| The last page and the back cover |
 |
| Each page is two bags and makes two pockets side by side |
 |
| I alternated punches to make the tabs on the pull outs that fit inside the pockets |
 |
| Here you can see the two pull outs in the two pockets |
 |
| Side view of the double pockets |
 |
| The duck cloth cover from the side |
 |
| The duck cloth back cover- the cover is all one piece and adhered to mat board covers |
 |
| The pockets from the side |
 |
The side view pockets and flaps. There is a flap between each page.

I used coordinating card stock and inks to the Everyday Enchantment DSP- Pool Party, Lucky Limeade, Calypso Coral, Poppy Parade, and Peach Parfait. I used lots of stuff, including several punches and several dies, so if you have a particular question about any of them, please fire me an email :). Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!
Blessings!

Barb this is absolutely GORGEOUS (yes I had to yell that!). I love this! You've inspired me for one of my Creative Crew projects for this month....we're supposed to make some kind of mini album and I love how you did the layout for this one! I love all the little details....punches, die cute, sparkles etc! Great job!
This is just beautiful! I love the colors and how you embellished all the pages! I recently made my first paper bag album, they are so fun!
Great project Barb. Love the book, think it would make a wonderful recipe book.. :)
