First paper bag scrap book finished!





Today I put the finishing touches on my first paper bag scrapbook! I had my pictures stored on my computer so I went to Walmart.com" photo shop and ordered 4x6 collage pics! That way I had varied sizes to work with and only had to pay the price of one 4x6 print! Anyway, my theme was my honeymoon! I am really pleased at the results and I am now working on one using wedding pics. That one will be done tomorrow. I am really looking forward to sharing this on project on April 19th!

Aprils's Paper Craft Project

Each month I will be attempting to have a project to share with my guest and in turn share on my blog as well. This months project ..................paper bag scrapbooks! We will be transforming lunch bags into adorable brag book size scrapbooks! A perfect size to fit into your purse! Paper bags are not acid free and will cause photos to fade over time......solution? Make duplicates of your pictures.....either photo copy them or have copies made someplace like Walmart or Walgreens. I personally have had great results using my 3 in one printer. I scan, edit and print, all from my home computer!
April's project will be a great learning experience for everyone! If you do not have duplicates of your pictures for this project, feel free to come early and we can run them from my computer...hopefully I remember to grab a new ink cartridge!
