Custom Made paper bag album CHERISH- Sister

This custom made album is for a special family. I wanted to celebrate the vibrancy and magic of a life cut short. As i was making it i kept getting the feeling that Lara wanted this to be a celebration of her life and love of her family. With treasured times spent together.

I have made loads of hidden pockets where i thought it may be nice for everyone to write messages to Lara or even add photos.

I've used a bling bazzill pink cardstock that glimmers like pearl- along with a gloss varnished glitter butterfly paper. I have distressed all the writing for a vintage look and glossy accented over the top to make it shine. The butterfly charm on the side is solid metal.

Page 1 has an extra flap with room for notes or a smaller photo. The large photo area is also a hidden pocket. I have embossed the white bling card at the top for extra texture. Opposite is a pocket to add momentos and more notes/photos

View of under the flaps and the tags with the pocket

where you see a ribbon and charm i have attached them so you can slip larger photos underneath. Theres an extra flap here too!!

Sneak peek under the flap- note all the handstamping 

more flaps and some 3d details

under the flap more room

I couldnt help but add ANOTHER pocket- loads of space for writing and small photos too

under the flap

and again hidden area under the photo area to slip in memorabilia.
Or
"notes to my sister"

I've added positive words/ quotes about love and memories through out

This envelope i have embossed and added a little message inside

even the back has room for more photos and notes

Sneek peek- friends paper bag album

I am so excited to share with you a limited edition line of unique handmade paper bag albums. Every album is remarkably different and has its own “personality”.

This 6x6.5 inch Paper bag books/album is so versatile- its pages hold photo’s memorabilia and journaling. It has 12 pages, that’s 3 bags folded into 6 pages with 2 sides. Well actually it’s a bit more as I “add” flaps and fold out extra pages. These bags are pink.

The ends of the bags open to form 3 pockets so slip in extra photos, memorabilia, ephemera or what ever your heart desires :). You’ll find practical spaces with PLENTY of room for notes- nooks and crannies (pockets and a flip out page) for memorabilia too!I have already added 3 extra large tags to get you started!!

I have made it so easy for you, just crop your photos, place in the spaces provided using glue or double sided tape, then journal your notes.

Where I have added ribbons over the photo area’s, rest assured you can easily slip your photo’s underneath.

It’s all about making your photos come to life. When I design each album I always have in mind how the final piece would look completed. Every thought is about how YOUR photos will look on the page- rather than creating an unusable “pretty” space. Although the papers are so nice it will be hard to cover them!!

Instant gorgeous album-so simple to use!

I was so excited when these new designs were released- funky modern and vivid. Who could resist the butterflies?? The some of the papers also have pink “foiling” to them as well as a glossy varnish to make the flower pattern really “pop”!

I’m afraid I went a little mad with loads of extra space with flip out flaps and pages

My favorite part is probably the butterflies- I love love love their acetate glittery wings

 I’m offering this little sparkley beauty for $52.00!-
