Mini Album with Jen

Good morning Quick Quotes friends!  Jen here today to host the blog for you.

Hi mini album fans! I have a mini album to share with you today. I created the album using 3 paper bags, paper, ribbons and some embellishments. It’s a lot easier than it looks!

I started by folding 3 paper bags in half and alternating the direction of the bag openings:

Here is another view:

I then covered the front and back of the album with paper from the Beautiful Life Collection . I created the binding with a strip of cardstock that I wrapped around the front and back. I then used my Crop-a-dile to punch holes through the binding of all three bags.  To secure the pages, I threaded Ribbon through the holes. The front cover of the album was created using a vellum quote from the Family Quote Bundle.

 

I then started decorating the inside pages:

I used punches to created decorative borders to some of the papers:

I created a pocket on one of the pages to hold a tag:

 

I added several vellum sentiments from an Itty Bitty Vellum Box set:

I used brads to attach several of the vellum quotes and I inked all of my papers with Midnight Confessions PowderPuff Chalking Ink:

 

The openings of the 3 bags became pockets that hold inserts. The inserts can be used for more photos or journaling:
