Mommy's brag book

I have created a new scrapbook album for my Niece.  Now she can brag about her daughter in style.  I used paper bags for this and followed various tutorials I found on youtube. 


I like how it turned out and am excited to start another one for my sister.  It will be for the same little sweet heart, Isabella, my great niece.

This is the spine that my husband helped me with.  It was rather funny to watch him "sew" this ribbon for me.  I took a picture and as soon as I figure out how to get it from my phone to the blog I will post it.  




Well I finally figured out how to get the picture but I am having trouble with placement on this blog.  I am not computer savvy as you might be able to tell from this blog.


The lighting really stinks.  It has been rainy for several days due to tropical storm Debby. Therefore I have been unable to use natural light to take the pictures of this album.  If you click to view the pictures you get all the details.


The thing about a paper bag album is the fact that you create pockets to put tags for extra pictures and journaling.



This has a flap that I show in the next picture.




I tried to show all the tags and little things I put into this little treasure.


You might recognize the pink flower on the right.  I made it a while ago and posted it on my blog. I found just the right thing to use it on.


These are the tags that are designed for this page viewing.









Last page.  I know the picture quality really stinks but I know my niece was looking froward to seeing the album.  Please leave comments and/or questions or suggestions.
