Documented & Romance Novel Bag Albums

Here are two paper bag minis. They are simple and quick to make using up some of those leftover scraps. One is using the Simple Stories "Documented" collection and the other is Prima's "Romance Novel" collection.

 The covers of both minis.

 Both albums hold wallet size photos.

 Lots of space for journaling.

 Both have a vintage feel to them.

 A pocket here to hold photos and journaling.

 More photo mattes.

Romance Novel Mini Album

This is an album I made using Prima's "Romance Novel" collection. I have to say, I LOVE this collection. It is absolutely full of vintage goodness. I hope to upload the video for the complete album on Monday evening.

The cover has some seam binding and Recollections bling.

French Country Recipe Mini

I love the new French Country collection from Graphic 45.  The colors are just beautiful. So much fun to work with.  I made this album to place your recipes as well as your photos in. The album measures 7" x 11 1/4".

 I have added some vintage recipes throughout the album.

Place In Time Paper Bag Mini

I love the "Place In Time" paper collection. We all can take at least 3 photos and journal something each month for a year. I know even I could do that.
I used brown paper bags from the Dollar Tree,  an 8 x 8 paper pad and the layout for each month is the same.

 The  front cover is very simple. A piece of seam binding is used for the closure.

The layout for each month is the same.

 I have placed to wallet sized photo mattes in each pocket.

The small calendar and a postage stamp clip on the side of the page.

 Here I pulled out the mattes to show you the page..

A postcard from the collection can be used for names, dates or journaling.

At the top of each page is a pull out photo matte for each month.

These two pages are embellished with a couple of small flowers. 

 December is embellished with the word "joy" made from felt.

File Folder Junk Journal

Heidi Swap has come out with decorative file folders and that is what I used to make this Junk Journal along with some old magazine ad clippings. I placed Olive Garden brown paper bags and a Starbucks bag in the Journal. Also coffee stained pockets and journaling paper.

A kraft envelope and some vintage tags make the cover.

A place for journaling on backside of cover.

 I love the color of these file folders.

 I cut up an Olive Garden bag and placed it in the Journal.

 Here is a Starbucks bag too.

 I used several pieces of the Industrial Chic vellum through out the Journal.

 Here is an original vintage ad from the 1940's era.

 Coffee stained paper for journaling.

 I did use washi tape through out.
