Paper bag album

This is a fun project
I used 2 lunch size white bags
I love the brown bags too :)



I fold the paper bags 
cover all surfaces with paper 
punch three holes along the folded edge
and tie ribbon and small tags and some buttons to make it fun!
It creates 6 pages to place photos 
plus the front and back.



I chalked the edges of the paper with a mini red ink pad
and rounded off the edges



I also inserted cardstock into the open ends of the bags to hide notes 




I added tabs to separate some of the pages and it also marked where I inserted the cardstock for notes.



This one is going to my husbands grandmother will photos I hope she will enjoy seeing since we aren't able to see her often, and we all love her so much we all wrote her notes on the cardstock and I will be adding the photos tomorrow (as I just received them in the mail ) and sending it off to her.


I've linked this idea up with Amy's Round Robin






I sure hope you stop by and see all the other great Valentine ideas that linked up too.
Thank Amy!

I filled in the photos and here is a glimpse of it
