Spa Retreat Weekend- Mother's day mini album

I hope you have been enjoying our Spa Retreat weekend on Cuttlebug Challenge!

Today, I am going to show you a Mother's Day paper bag album to display photos of you and your little girls. Or even a photo of you and your mom.

materials:2 paper bags (folded in half)

2 or 3 patterned papers

2 sheets of cardstock

Cuttlebug and Stylized Flowers embossing folder

misc items: ink, Glimmer Mist, flowers, pearls, gems, ribbon, Stickles, border punch, rings for binding

1) Cut 2 pieces of cardstock for front and back cover the same size as the paper bag pages, and also cut 6 sheets of patterned paper this size for inside pages. Cut 2 pieces of patterned paper 1/4" smaller than paper pag pages for front and back cover. Ink papers and spray with Glimmer Mist if desired. Adhere in the desired order to the paper bag album

2) Cut strips of cardstock and use a border punch. Emboss strips for the inside pages of the album. Ink embossing and add Stickles to the flowers and pearls to flower centers.

3) Cut 2 pieces of cardstock 1/4" to 1/2" smaller than the openings of the paper bags. These will be your pull-out tags that can be used for more photos and journaling. (I added white cardstock to the back of the tags to make journaling more visible.)
Emboss cardstock with Stylized Flowers embossing folder, ink, and add Stickles to flowers. Take white cardstock and use Glimmer Mist and border punch on one end if desired. Adhere to debossed side of the tags.

4) Adhere flower, sentiment, gems, and pearls to front cover. Adhere other embellishments to album if desired.

5) Carefully punch 2 holes on the left side of the album (make sure the fold is to the left, bag ends and openings to the right) Carefully punch holes for binding. Insert binding rings and tie lengths of matching ribbon to rings.

Now all you need to do is add your precious photos!
