Tonight I’m turning something super unexpected into a keepsake you’ll actually want to make… paper bags! 😄
In Part 1 of this paper bag mini album, I’ll show you how I’m building the album base and creating those fun pocket pages (with a few “learn-from-my-mistake” moments along the way!). I’m also sharing the Valentine paper pack I’m using and a peek at how the pages will come together.
Next Monday we’ll finish it up with the cover and inserts, and I’ll reveal what I’m making this album for (it’s going to be so cute!). 💕
And don’t forget—February is here with lots going on, including Bonus Days coupons you can start redeeming, plus my Masculine Fun Fold Card Kit by Mail info.
✨ Come hang out, craft with me, and get inspired!
