Better Late Than Never

Boy you would not believe what happened.  I told you yesterday that I would be sharing a new mini album I am working on.  Well yesterday I went to work on it and realized I needed chipboard.  I looked in a big box store and the only thing they had was extremely expensive and then was not big enough.  So I figured I would work on it today when I got back from my daughter’s and post it.

Well I got home later than I had planned and started working on it.  I am just now finishing it and posting it.  But I did get it done in time for my resolution.

I found the idea for this paper bag album on Kathryn’s blog.  I wanted to try it and plan on making this for Michaela’s album of pictures for when we went to San Francisco to find a place for her to live.  I am using white lunch bags for this one.  Since this was going to be her album I let her choose the colors.  She chose coral and gold.  I did not have any patterned paper with those colors nor was there any in the catalog – current or upcoming.  So I picked up some paper with her colors.  The colors I got did match the new In color Calypso Coral so I will be using that for her album.

Here is the beginning of the album.

The front of the first paper bag

 this page has 2 pockets – one in the bottom flap and the other in the side flap

 back of page – flap that lifts up

 back of page with flap lifted – pockets in the 2 plaid pieces

 Sorry I was so late in posting but I wanted to share it with you.  The rest of the pages will be designed the same way.  I will share the other pages as I get them completed.  Thanks for looking and have a good evening!
