PaperBag Album Swap Pre Ideas

[maria34a]

OK, tomorrow I am supposed to be posting the signups for the PaperBag Albums!!! I want to get everyone EXCITED About this!!!! Please don't be afraid!!!! They are so much fun!!! If you have a Target around you, you can find the GIANT size brown lunch paper bags and that would be the prefered paper bag we would be using. Not to worry if you can't get them, I can always mail some to you!!!! Or others can help out if necessary!!!! I like these, because they give more space for photos when they are folded and completed!!!! You get a nice 1-1.5 inch binding and a good 5.5x6 inch page size with these bags. so it ends up being a nice size book! You only use 3 bags per book, so your book is 6 pages. Plus you have 3 pockets in each book where you put either a giant tag inside which would have 2 sides for photos and/or journaling, or a file folder and that would have 4 sides for photos and/or journaling.

OK question is this-- I am thinking of keeping groups to 3-5 people. I need to know what you guys think you can handle... Groups of 3 or 5????

Topics will be posted tomorrow, I don't want to give everything away today!!!! (That's the EVIL in me!!!)

After looking at some of these, I'm almost afraid to try them So I'd perfer a smaller group since I've never tried one of these

 

[Downrivermama]

Either way is OK. I've only fooled around with my own. 3 bags sounds good. Can't wait you evil woman!

Oh please don't be afraid, they are so easy!!! I will guide you through it if you want me to!!! You will be a book maker in no time!!! They are so much fun!!!! My sister whips them out like crazy now!!! She can make 15-20 a day if she puts her mind to it!!!! She is nutzzzzz though!!!!

Rubber stamping is fun to use in them too!!!!

 

[Faerie]

I'm game for trying!

 

[rlovew]

I would like to try this but I would need our groups to be small.

[maria34a]

Yeah!!!! More brave people!!!!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I would be game for this. I would rather join two groups of 3 people than one group of 5 people.

This is Waaaaaay beyond me but I'd like to see instructions - I can print them out and add them to "projects I will do if ever I get manually dextrous and have loads of time and supplies" pile, along with the exploding box

Plus of course no source of paper bags! But I'm sure if you post the instructions I could improvise quietly in a corner on my own

 

[YodasMom]

I don't know that I will have time for this......depends on Due Date, but it sounds like fun! If I did sign-up, I would rather have 3 to a group. I'll be away during sign-ups though until Sunday night.

Although, I'd rather be where I'm going than in front of a computer!

Mazda, I'm sure someone could send bags over there to you. There very light weight!

Is this going to be general Disney? Specific? I need to go to J's and/or Mike's tonight so I thought I'd pick paper up while I was there

I would love to be able to help you with exploding boxes and PBAs...sorry we are so far apart.

Scrapping is not big in Sidcup - I have my tiny group of customers (3 - count them...THREE) who think they're being wild if they buy a packet of paper AND some photo splits (guess how I keep active as a CMC ) and everyone else thinks rounding the corners of photos is evidence of a mental disorder

So me making paper bag albums ain't going to have me running for mayor! I'd like to know how to do it for interest, but as I'm still only up to DS(7) learning to walk and I already do more swaps than is healthy for my bank balance I'll pass on this occasion. But thanks for the offer to send the bags! DH can't get over the goodwill on these boards - he keeps saying "but you did already know these people before,right?" and looking all male and confused at me

OK, OK!!!! But you just wait until you see the pics! That is when I learn how to post pics!!!!

I will be working tomorrow without access to any computer (I'll actually be outside teaching - hope for no rain!! ) I'd like to sign up too. I like the idea of smaller groups. Thanks!
