New Video: "The 2 of Us" Mini Paperbag Album

Hi, everyone! I just posted a new video over on my YouTube Channel of a paperbag mini album I made for my husband for Valentine's Day.

This mini was made with the "Celebrate It!" brand paperbags found in the party supply section of Michael's. These bags are the perfect size {3.5"x6.75"} to hold #8 shipping tags {3.12"x6.25"}, and I love turning them into pocket albums by binding the bags at the bottom with my Bind-It-All. What is totally crazy about these albums is that I am neither a huge fan of paperbag albums or of my Bind-It-All but I use both of them together & suddenly I like them! Weird.

Here's the video:



The papers and embellishments are all from my stash and some of them are quite old. It's always fun to make an album from my stash papers and embellishments instead of just buying something new. I get such a great feeling of "using it up" and it's awesome!

Thanks for watching!

  7. Love it! I am loving your photos! We own the rights to our photos too! not b/c our photographer was nice but because my hubby spent the sleepless night before the wedding working out his nerves on the slot machines and blackjack tables! He won over $1,000 and bought the rights to our photos with it! Such a good man! Love your mini! You h=will have to tell us how Mr. Lifeguard liked it!

  8. Love this album...lots of great ideas. On the magnets from rare earth, which size are those? The smallest ones? I was going to order some but wasn't sure on the size. Also, I love watching the videos you put together. Very inspiring. Thanks for sharing.

  9. Hi, everyone! Thanks so much for your great comments ~ I'm so glad you enjoyed it! :D Those magnets are MagCraft brand and they are the 1/8" thick and 3/16" wide magnets. I will probably go smaller next time as these magnets are so strong it would be no problem for them to be super tiny in a papercrafting application.
