Grocery Bag Album

Finally, I have some projects to show. I have been creating and scrapping like crazy with all the pictures that I took from vacation and some other fun stuff that I had done months ago, but just hadn't gotten done.

Have you ever wanted to make an album or a book, but didn't have one handy? I created this album by cutting and folding a brown grocery bag to fit my needs. There are lots of ways to make an album, but I liked this way because I could use something that I already had in my pantry.

This album was to capture the memories from our trip Up North in early July.

I kept the handles in - they are actually nice to have and they keep the original functionality.

Most of the paper I used comes from Bo Bunny's Flower Child and Roughin' It collections.

There are not too many pages, but just enough to be able to fit the number of pictures I had. That's another great thing about creating your own album - you can customize it to fit your needs.

Inside front cover:

Next page where I journaled about when, what and who:

Page dedicated to the nature shots I took right outside the cabin door:

And, that unfolded into a whole new spread:

The next page was about what I read while on the trip:

And I "stickled up" the design of the paper:

And the last page was dedicated to Carson's water skiing abilities. He loves to ski; doesn't matter if it's cold, rainy, wavy - you name it, he gets in the water!

Hope you are having a great Wednesday! I'll be back tomorrow with some more Bo Bunny stuff!

p.s. - if you are interested in how I made my album, let me know. I might be able to throw together some instructions!
