My First Mini Album

I made my very first paper bag mini album! It is made from some really small white paper bags. I think they are 3 1/2 X 6 3/4. The album measures 4" x 4 1/2" the cover, but the inside pages measure 3 1/2" x 4 1/4".

I made this as a bridal shower gift for my niece who is getting married in May. I wanted to make it fun and goofy, since it will be used to archieve her bachelorette party, which I will not be attending as it is a slumber party type deal and I LOVE my bed way too much to go a night without it LOL!

Please excuse the quality of the pics as I took them with my cell phone camera. I did not take pics of it before I gave it to her because I was actually working on it up until I had to leave to go to the shower. I had also sat up all night working on it, and did not go to sleep at all. I had started working on it about 11pm and quite working on it to take a shower at 11am the next morning. I only has less than 3 days to pump this little album out LOL! I was not told about the bridal shower until the Thursday before the shower which was on a Sunday.

I had a lot of fun working on it. Some trial and errors and not much frustration.

The ENTIRE album was made with my cricut, well 99% of it was. The only things I did not make with my cricut was the flowers in the album and the flower flourishes on the front of the album. Everything else was cut with my Cricut.

Album Cover - Titled "Infamous Bachelorette Party"

Page 1 - "In the beginning" suppose to be a group pic of all that attend while they are still sober LOL!

Page 2 - A card holder to put 2 pics and journaling on the back of each pullout. The writing on the flap to the right says "My brother paid a dollar last night to see your underwear. movie 16 Candles"

Page 3- Is a simple page that is for a pic of her with some lingerie she will get. It says "OoH LA LA". The "OoH" is glittered red & the "LA's" are glossy accented.

Page 4 - Another simple page for a photo. Above says "Trouble!". The flap to the right has a tag for journaling and the flower is Prima's.

Page 5 - This page is a double slider and on the front of it is says "Oh sexy girlfriend! Movie - 16 Candles" and has a tag for journaling tucked to the right of it.

Page 6 - Has a matchbook flipalbum which will hold 3 more pics and has a tag tucked in the left for journaling. The flap to the right says "What the..." and is glittered red and glossy accented.

Page 7 - This page... well... it was 11 hours later and I was getting tired LOL! I did not even notice I did not embellish the flap to the left until I gave it to her LOL! She can put a pic or sticker there LOL!

Page 8 - Another simple page for a pic. the flap to the right says "The Result" which is for a group pic of all them drunk LOL! And has a journaling tag.

I hope you like it! My niece claimed she loved it ;) LOL! I am probably going to make another one for her wedding pics. This time I will be able to put more work into it and realize when I miss embellishing a page LOL!

Thanks for looking!
