Paper Bag Pocket Wallet Mini Album

Here is my take on a Mini Album is a designed by Steff Miller, she did a free ustream class to show you how to make it, so all kudos to Steff for a great design and I have loved making this project.

The project uses 2 paper bags and some card stock.
As for the patterned paper the Ladies Diary one I made using scraps I had left from another project and the Noir Chic one was made using new sheets of single and double sided paper.

I was requested to make a video as some of you have found it hard to follow the Ustream method.
I hope you like my video and you too can enjoy making this lovely Paper Bag Pocket Wallet Mini Album By Steff Miller as it is a super cute mini!

It is hard to give measurements as everyone will have different sizes bags depending on which country you are in but what I have done is made 2 PDF sheets for the basic measures for the 2 paper bag sizes I have used.

Colouring using Spectrum Noir Pens & Pencils

Just wanted to share with you a couple of Christmas Cards I have made using Crafter’s Companion Vintage Christmas Papercrafting Collection CD.
The patterned papers on both cards have been printed from the Vintage Christmas CD.
The main image on each card is printed off from the Digi Stamp section of the CD.

The Christmas Bells image has been printed onto Neenah Desert Storm Card and I have used Spectrum Noir Pens & Pencils to colour this image.
The Pens I used are CT4, TN2, GB5, FS2, CG2, DG2, DR5, DR7. I followed by using pencils over the top 19, 20, 22, 4, 7, 59, 24, 33.
I have then blended the finished image with the Blending Solution and Paper Stumps and then shaded around the completed image with Spectrun Noir Pen IG1 to help the image stand out.

The Snowman image has been printed onto Neenah White Card and I have used my Spectrum Noir Pencils to colour the image.
The Pencils I have used are 64, 69, 21, 92, 13, 44, 46, 24.

Paper Bag Tag Mini Album

Here is a great tag book mini I have made following Stephanie Miller’s Tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNhsKVlIbtg.

After watching one of her other tutorials I love this idea and wanted to share it with you all.

The paper collection and bags where sent to me by my subbie Maria and I have really enjoyed crafting with them.

The paper collection is DCWV The Pets Sack and I used the 4 1/2″ x 6 1/2″ papers.
