My favorite…today!

Have you ever made something and been so excited about it you wanted to show everyone?  Today, I want to show you one of my projects I am super excited about.  I had a big stamp camp today and this was just ONE project they made.  We made a total of 3 and they were super busy stampers today and they did an awesome job!  I had two brand new stampers today and while I challenged them, they were SPECTACULAR!  I was so excited for them.  Let me share.

This is a paper bag album made with the Glassine Bags.  I wrapped a piece of the Sweet Pea DSP around the bottom edge of 4 Glassine bags and then sewed a straight stitch along the edge so all the bags would stay together.  After that it was a free for all with embellishing.  Using the Friendly Words jumbo wheel, I wheeled the front cover and then added cardstock pieces on the inside of each Glassine Bag to give it more stability.  The ends are embellished with lots of punches.  I love using my punches and accessories to add wow to a project.  Of course there are lots of fun buttons, too. 

Today, this is my favorite project.  I will use this paper bag album to put pictures of my kids.  I can pop the pictures in the Glassine Bag pockets and journal on the cardstock.   I hope this inspires you to pull out your Glassine Bags and make something unique with them.  They are such a great product. 

Have a wonderful week!

Wow Kimberly… I love the colour combo of the pinks and browns … Sooooo soft.  Wish I could have been there but it would have been a very, very expensive project:-) You know, flying in from Canada to attend a Stamp camp, lol!  
Looks amazing!
TFS!
