Yellow and Gray Envelope/Pocket Mini Album

Hi Everyone,

So this post is a way to recycle the old into something new.  While Hubs and I were living in PA we were involved with craft shows/bazzars.  One item that I created to sell were Envelope cards that can be placed on gifts, used for money cards, etc.  Well I made tons of them and most of them sold but I still have a dozen or so left that did not.  So instead of throwing them away I chose to make a mini album out of them.  These minis can easily hold full 3x5 photos.  This is one of my favorite albums mostly because it is my favorite color, yellow.  Here it is...


I used a sheer gray ribbon for the binding and then used Deco Art Twinkles on the ends to stop the fraying.

Pages one and two and a sample of what all the tags throughout the album look like.
    


A tag tucked behind the fold out photomat.


Pages three /\ and four \/

Tags for pages 3 and 4.


Pages five /\ and six \/

Tag from page 5 and a fold out photomat with a pocket for tags.

So here is my work in progress.  I did make a video of this album.  You can see it here: 


Well everyone, that is all for now.  You know I am so grateful to be able to share these projects with you all and I am so thankful for each one of you!!  Thank you all for watching and I will see you in the next one...

Paper Bag Mini Album #1 - Paisley Fun

Hi Everyone,

So I have been wanting to do a series on Paper Bag Albums that I have created for quite some time now - like over a year - and I have finally been able to get my camera and the editing software to play nice with each other.  Well actually I just used my phone - it's a shame I didn't think of that before.  So here is my first Paper Bag Album.  I used a total of 9 Paper bags for this album.  ***Photo Warning and video at the end***













Well everyone here it is.  I really had a great time making this album and I know I will make another as I do like how this one came out.  So please tell me what you think of this album; I would love to hear/read your thoughts.  Thank you all so much for watching and I will see you in the next one.
