Now that Christmas is over with, it is time to start organizing all of those Christmas photos. I thought that I would share one of these adorable little mini paper bag albums Lisa and I made up. We used black bags - $2.99 at Michael's over buy the wrapping paper. You fold 2 or 3 bags in 1/2 and then stitch down the middle with your sewing machine. You can also punch holes and hand stitch it together or tie it together with ribbons.
We decorated each page with a little photo mat cut from card stock.
Then we clipped in various little embellishments. I really like variety so there are stickers, titles, and die cuts in this mini album.
For the pull out pocket pages, we stapled a die cut onto a square of card stock. It makes the book look bigger and fuller.
For a final touch, I wanted a more vintage feel than ribbon. I got 3 different colors of raffia and tied that around the spine instead of ribbon. These make really nice stocking stuffers or little thank you gifts for after Christmas.
