I have been watching Kathy Orta lately on Paper Phenomenon, she is amazing and her techniques are next to none. One day I will try to make one of her pieces of art but they do take time and lots of effort. I do not have as much time as I would like to spend crafting for fun so I came up with the easiest way to make a paper bag album I could. It will hold so much and it is really simple, no hidden hinges (those things are magical by the way), no machine needed to bind it, not even a hole punch!

So here we go, you will need to watch all the way to the end because there is some scoring that has to been done on the binder to make it work just right. Let me know if you like it!

As to the dimensions, if you use 10×5.25 inch paper bags then these are your sizes:
5 paper bags
2 pieces of chipboard cut to 10.5×5.5
1 piece of chipboard cut to 5.5×1
2 pieces of chipboard cut to 5.5×1.5
1 piece of keflex or strong fiber paper or fabric cut to 5.5×6.5
1 piece of cardstock or paper to cover the binding cut to 6.5×6.0
2 pieces of cardstock or paper cut to 11×6 for covers
2 pieces of cardstock or paper cut to 10.25×5.25 to mat inside of covers
10 photo mats cut to 7.75×5
10 page mats cut to 7.75×5

Any additional paper is up to you, you will want to add pockets and other decorations as needed. Enjoy!

Hey Everyone!
I have some very exciting news to share with all of you!! (Drumroll Please………) I now have a new channel on everything not craft related! Woo! It will feature all of the shannigans that happen in my life! Be sure to check it out here! Please be sure to comment and subscribe! I promise that you’ll continuously be saying, “Did that just happen?”

I love ya’ll!

Hi Crafers!

Today is the day, Challenge day!

For those of you that have never done a challenge like this, I will attempt to explain it.

Okay, so you’ve played connect four before, right? Well this is how this works, you pick four squares but they must all touch each other. So in the example below:

The line connects, rain, spring, umbrella and funny. Therefore, my card must reflect each of these items. I might make a card with an umbrella on a spring with glossy accent dots to resemble rain and have a funny sentiment to go with it. That is just one example and it is pretty literal. You can stretch your card thoughts and go anyway with it. You can pick the direction your line travels, just be sure that each items touches.

This is a prize challenge! Just submit your card or video below and you are entered to win.

This challenge I will be giving away two stamps sets, Beary Sentimental and Mr. Big Ears for those of you that didn’t get yours while they were available.

Good Luck!
