Hello, hello friends!  Jen from Tatertots & Jello recently sent me a box full of goodies from her new Home + Made paper decor line.  Seriously you guys, I LOVE every single scrap from this line!  It’s gorgeous.  All of the beautiful supplies in this new collection made creating this fun Paper Bag Mini Album a real treat!

Mini Paper Bag Albums are a fun way to save treasured memories or give a truly unique gift.  The pockets created by the paper bags are the perfect place to store mementos, personalized notes and photographs.  There are many different ways to embellish each album,  I had fun with this gold, black and pink theme!

Creating your own paper bag album is as easy as 1-2-3.  1 – gather a wide variety of coordinating paper craft supplies.  2 – sew six paper bags together at the closed end.  3 – embellish each page in your new book as desired.

I used these awesome paper bags from the Home + Made line as the base for my book.  I love, love, love the gold polka dots!  Jen also has a ton of fabulous patterned paper in her new collection.  It was hard to narrow my selection down to just a few coordinating colors and patterns.  I used fun puffy stickers included in the line to embellish many of the pages!

The possibilities in creating your own unique album are seriously endless!  I love the idea of personalizing this, maybe filling the pockets with packets of tea or scratch off tickets and giving it as a gift.  Or what about starting the school year off right with a back to school themed mini album for your childs teacher?!

One of the fun printed papers in this collection includes ALL of these tags!  I simply embellished them with washi tape, bits of ribbon and scalloped edges.  Then I inserted them into the opening of my paper bags to add interest, texture and a fun place to jot down personalized notes.

I hope that you love this album as much as I do!
