If you are in the UK and cant get craft paper bags you can still join in using shopping paper bags.
I the video tutorial I will show you how to make this mini album using both methods.

The bags size I have used is 4.7 x 2.8 x 8.9 inches.
Cut the long side of the bag to measure 8 3/4 inches, then score this at 6 inches.
Cut 2 pieces of cardstock measuring 5 7/8″ x 5 1/2″ and stock both of these at 1″ and 1 1/8″
Photo mats cut 3; 4 1/4″ x 4″
3 3/4″ x 4 3/8″
5 1/8″ x 4 3/8″
Follow the video tutorial as I craft along with you to make this super brag Wallet.

file-folder-miniI know a lot of you are enjoying this File Folder Mini Series as you can make scrapbook mini albums out of a normal foolscap office file folder and freebie paper collection from a craft magazine.
