This is my first paper mini album made from paper bags. I used the instructions from Laura from
Following the Paper Trail. Many different features and new techniques for me this time. The theme of this mini is flowers and friends.
I covered the mini with green canvas fabric, another take on an example of Laura's. I took a lot of pictures...:)
The cover outside:
Inside the front cover:
The poppy flower seed packet is from K & Company. I used several throughout the mini as journaling tags. Most of the trims and designer papers are from scraps in my stash.
The first page:
I included the tags that go into the bags on each page picture.
The second pages (I used a light green mess fabric to cover the first of these pages):
The fan was made with a button and piece of a paper doily. The flowers are Prima.
The third set of pages:
I used one of the frames in Sentimental to make these tags. I love the music staff paperclip. Staples has them.
The fourth set of pages:
Both of these tags are the same. I used another cut from Sentimental and placed the frame on one side and the insert on the other.
The last page and back cover: (Bet you never thought it would get here):
This is my favorite fairy in the book. They were on a rub on sheet at Michaels called Fairies and Flowers.
I liked all the creative spaces this album style creates. I won't do another with paper bags from the grocer, they are very uneven and I don't like the side view of the bags. I will try another with better paper bags.
I hoped you liked looking at this. I want to say thank you to everyone who sent me well wishes. It's been a rough spring and summer for me, but I'm still here going day by day!
Hugs and blessings
Sue
