First Paper Bag Album

I saw Kathy Orta's video on paper bag albums and decided to give it a try.  I didn't have a premade album to use, so I decided to make my own.  There is a video at tvweekly.com on making your own books, and I have always wanted to try it, so I combined the two!  I am very happy with how it turned out.  I just have the basic album together.  I haven't decided what I am using it for yet, so I don't want to embelish it.  I don't know whether to go with a baby theme, girly theme...  Any suggestions?  I'm looking for ideas!!!!!

this is so cute :) When i first saw it i thought of a baby theme for it, it really could go either way gender wise but i would prob go more towards a boy one. HTH :)

It turned out beautiful, I love the colors you chose! It will be interesting to see how you embelish as you make such pretty things. I haven't had the time to watch her video yet, but it looks like its a must do.

Love it!
I vote for a baby boy's album. The paper colors are perfect for this.
Images from New Arrival and some from Everyday Paper Dolls would look so nice.
I'm sure this will be another terrific creation, so keep us posted!

I did print the papers.
The viseo was called "making the grade book" on srapbooklounge at tvweekly.com
