I have almost finished my paperbag album I have been working on amongst other projects! It has 12 pages in total, 6 of each size plus 4 pull out pages. The large page is 12.5cm X 20cm while the smaller pages are 10cm X 20cm. I used 4 paper bags which started out at 20cm X 25cm. I then scored, folded and trimmed the bags, glued together, painted the edges gold then added the cardstock. The cardstock I used was the Duchess Collection by Kaisercraft. I then cut it to 12cm X 19.5cm and 9.5cm X 19.5cm, this allows you to show off a little of the paint.
Pages 1 and 2.
Pages 3 and 4. Page 4 has the pullout page, note the small notch cut out so you can pull out the pullout page.
Pages 5 and 6.
These are two of the pullout pages which I thought I would enter for a challenge for GPP Street Team, Crusade No 41 on Gridlock. I prefer the one on the left with the gaps.
Pages 7 and 8.
Pages 9 and 10.
Pages 11 and 12.
One of the other pullout pages.
The finished mini. Once i had uploaded these photos I realised my camera battery must have been a little flat and the flash had not been working too well. All I have to do now to complete it is add my photos and embellishments. Once all that is done I can then do the cover. I leave that till last so I know how wide to make the spine.
Edit; I have now completed the Paper bag album, to view the finished project click here.
Tracy - thanks for coming to play with us! What a great looking journal!! Those grid pages are a handsome addition. Thanks for sharing with our team. Welcome aboard!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Tracy, I'm a new crusader too... your grids are great. I love working on paper bags and have made a couple mini journals, but not with such cool pull-out pockets! Happy creations, tj in germany
ReplyDeleteThanks for checking out my work Girls. This was my first challange, but will not be the last. TJ, the extra pull-out pages are a great way to "get a little more" into your mini.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun journal and great grid pages too!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Sophie
cool colors! I can imagine this will be beautiful when completed.
ReplyDeleteThat is a super journal and I love the colours that you used in your grid.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great looking journal, the pull out pages are fantastic, good idea to make your grid on them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic project - I have never tried one of these but yours makes it look very tempting. The cardstock range you've used is such nice soft colours.
