This Paper Bag Scrapbook Album is a great project and the finished size comes in at 8 ¼” x 7 ½” x 3” this makes it a very substantial Album which can hold well over 40+ photos.
Using just 4 paper bags and a Prima paper collection, you will make a beautiful Paper Bag Scrapbook Album with a difference! Everything matches to make this stunning project so you can be creative along with me.

I decorative this Beach Hut at a Workshop that I attended at the MDF Mans Studios.
This was should have been a Money Box however, you know me!!! –
It had to have a Mini Album inside.
Rob (AKA MDF Man) made me a spacer for the roof so it would lift off easily and was the door for me to access the mini album.
The mini album is made using some of the papers and tags from the Prima Seashore 12×12 Paper Collection Pad.
I also used 4 white paper bags in size size 3½” x 6 ¾” x 2” which Maria kindly sent me from America.
The cover was made using a food packet box which I cut down and the rope handles are made from garden twine.
This was going to be a gift but I am finding it hared to give away, I think I may have to make another one. I do hope you like?
This quick tip video tutorial shows you how to use magnets on your paper crafting projects.
Rather than always using 2 magnets, why not replace one with a stainless steel washer to save on the cost.
I get my magnets here in the UK from my local supplier First4Magnets
I use size 12mm x 1mm
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.
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.
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 paper collection and bags where sent to me by my subbie Maria and I have really enjoyed crafting with them.
