Paperbag Mini Album

I particularly enjoy making mini albums. This one I made ahead of time to keepsake a hiking and camping trip. One of the advantages of making this type of album is that if needed, one could add an additional bag or two to increase pages and pockets. (I used So Sophie by MME coordinating colored paper and letters.)

This album required two paper lunch bags, folded in half to make a book. I matched bag end of 1 to opening of bag 2 so there would be one bottom and one opening  on each side when folded.

There are two double-sided journaling cards which fit inside the pockets created by the openings of the paper bags. The tabs are staggered to allow both to be seen on the side when fully returned to each pocket.

The inner pages are layered with paper which has been inked ("More Mustard" by Stampin' Up!) and sometimes torn. I encluded a few  embellies here and there. The "boy meets world" sticker if from BoBunny's "Boy oh boy" (which is one of my most favorite collections ever!) The "M" sticker on the cards is by Pure Juice. I don't know which company made the epoxy sticker - it's been in my stash a while.

Two book rings were used through holes punched in the folded side. Then a variety of coordinating fiber and ribbon were tied to the rings.

I l♥ve the finished product!
