My Halloween Paper Bag Album so far...

After creating my first paper bag album last week I wanted to try making a Halloween themed album for my ACEO's... I love Halloween, it's my second favorite holiday behind Christmas!

I have a few friends who wanted to make some kind of mini album too and so I issued a challenge on my blog - find it here!

I cut and glued all of the papers in last night... don't ask me what time I went to bed lol You don't want to know! And the back cover is the same black & purple as the front cover, I just forgot to take a picture of it!

I used the pamphlet stitch with orange and green ribbons, and if your going to use ribbons I suggest making big enough holes lol It was mighty hard to work with. I did small tags on the front as I thought that paper would make the perfect pocket!










This last page I messed up on... I was being so careful trying to get the 2 pages matching up... and this one I cut the 2 inches off in the middle by mistake lol Didn't want to waste paper and so I made a pocket out of it, the pocket lines up with the left page... the right page under the pocket doesn't but it will be mostly covered when I make something to go in the pocket!


The paper was a scrapbook paper pad I got at Michaels, $30 and I had a 50% off coupon. Then I bought some brads today, some Halloween embellishments and a stamp that was on sale! Can't wait to finish the book!

    Thank you Kathy! I modeled the tags after a thin bookmark I have, then just shortened them! And inked the edges with a stamp pad!
