Paper Bag Mini Album

Well This little Paper bag Album has been on the go for almost a year.

I finished the Album then took awhile to find the right photos to go into it and make the mats for them all.

Its been sitting finished on my craft table for the last 3 months waiting for me to take all the photos and blog about it.

Well I had to move my craft room yesterday and bring everything from our spare bedroom down to the front room ( I will blog about the move tomorrow, with photos)

So I had the Album in my hand and thought Wendy Do it now before I forget again

So here it is

Front cover Handsome guy with the hat is our grandson Keaton.

Flower I made by cutting the petal shapes onto Brown card joining 4 layers together with a gold brad

Then spraying with gold shimmer spray and sprinkling with glamour dust.

The frame was cut on the cricut using a Penny Duncan file

 The paper I used for the Album came from DCWV Blossoms & butterflies stack.

I have made two pockets on each side to pop some mats with photos of Keaton on both sides

 Again I have made some more pockets to slip in photo mats staring Keaton trying to stand on his head and helping Bampy sweep in the garden 

 Another pocket added to the page with slip in photos and tags, the other page has another if Penny`s frames with my two sleeping beauties , Keaton and his daddy worn out after playing on the skate board that you can just see in the first photo

 More tags for Journalling and a little fold out button envelope

 More photos Keats with his lion puppet frighting  someone with a loud roar, the other after his bath

 Keats in the bath with bubbles on his hair and riding his train out the back last summer, since then he has moved up onto a bigger balance bike

 Mor pockets with him sleeping again, and him in his first summer cap like his daddy, he did not take it off all day

( very like his daddy whose hat is permanently stuck on his head  even in the house)

 Back view and the bottom photo shows the double sided mats that slip inside each page opening

These have some of my favourite winter photos of Keaton in his first snow just before Christmas.

Thanks for looking
