A paper bag book




Well, given I called my new blog scrapchatterbox, I thought I might put some scrapping onto it.
Of course, scrapping is so many things to so many people, and this might come under the heading of papercraft more, but I learned it in scrapping, so here it is.



It is a paperbag book, and it is a gift for a friend.
I am going to take it along to her Hogmanay party tonight as a wee gift, along with the usual bottle and party nibbles.

It literally is a mini album made from paper bags (quite like the kind you buy mushrooms in at the supermarket) all decorated and inked and with ribbons etc. It has about a dozen pages, with little flaps to add in extra photos or journalling (handwritten memories).
They are fast and easy to make, yet still show a bit of imagination and effort.
