Paper Bag Album Swap Due July 30th!!!!!

Ahhh… What we have all been waiting for!!!! Drum roll Please… The big Event!!!!

OK…

1. Go to Target and purchase the package of GIANT lunch bags. If you can’t find them or do not have a Target around you, please say something and one of us will gladly help you out and send you some bags!!!! We only use 3 bags per album. You will put one down one way, then one down the other way so the opening is at the opposite end and then the last bag down like the first. So you will have 3 bags with a closed end, open end, closed end. Got it!!!!
2. Now you take all three and fold them in the middle. Keeping them together!!! Do not separate!!!!
3. Next you will take a sheet of Bazzil or similar thick cardstock and cut it 6” by 2 ½ inches this will be your spine. You will fold it over the spine and use double sided scotch tape (Which you can find at Walmart in a 2 pack) This is very sticky! You will use this tape for the whole book!
4. Now take your Crop-a-dile or your hammer and hole punch and punch the largest hole in the middle of the “spine” of the book. OK, so you want to go down the spine and find the middle and go in about ¾ of an inch and then punch your hole. You want your Spine to be about 1” or a little larger, not much. Then you go up towards the top and punch another hole about ¾ inch as well and again down the bottom. Now your spine will have 3 holes in it. I like to put 5 holes in, sometimes more. The holes are going to be tied with different ribbons, so you can put more than five or just five, it is up to you!
5. Now you may insert your Ribbon and tie knots to keep your book together! You can use the same ribbon, or alternate coordinating ribbons its up to you just have fun!
6. Now Measure your heavy cardstock for your pages with your book folded in half, you will have a cover and a back page which I like to use as a dedication page. So that gives you 10 pages of photo pages! So each page measures 6X5 ½ so you will cut 12 sheets of cardstock including your cover and backpage!
7. Next tape your cardstock on all the pages.
8. Now you have 3 pockets! Remember!!!! Now you have a choice to make either a large tag in a 6x6 size with 2 sides to it for pictures or journaling or you can make a file folder with the tab that sticks out with 4 sides to it for pictures or journaling! It’s your choice! Just have fun with it! Just use heavy cardstock or Bazzil!
9. Now you can embellish as you wish! Have fun! Use stickers, stamping, diecuts, Please no hand lettering, flowers, ribbons, whatever you want!!!! Enjoy and be creative!!!!
10. PM me or call me if you have any questions! I will send my info to you if you need it!!!! I am here to help, remember its easy!!!! I will open more groups if needed.
Thanks Maria

Maria: For someone so evil, you are rather thoughtful! (I won't tell anyone...)

Thanks for the Mickey book. Perfect! Also, could you add me to the summer books - a watery theme - useful for pools, beaches or whatever. Thanks!

 

[rlovew]

I want to make sure I understand. We are making the album and basically finishing it so that all people have to add is photos and journalling. Should the pages have titles and such?

Also do we just glue the page on top of the bottom of the bag or should it be made into a fold out type bag?

I am thinking about this I would really like to do a general Disney one with a dining theme but I don't know that I have time to make 3 in the next month with school getting out and the other swaps I am doing.

About how long does putting the album together take? (not decorating as I know how long it takes me to make elements and page kits)
