November Mini kit and items I made.

Our kit this month is based around this 

Goldenrod Fall & End Of Summer Printable Scrapbook Collection — Traci Reed Designs

 I thought I'd try another paper bag album as I enjoy making those...instructions are here.

Julene By Design: A paper bag mini album

I started with 4 bags from a chemist shop (drug store). I trimmed so they're exactly the same length.

My theme is Halloween so chose this mini kit.

There are 5 papers plus 2 cardstock and my embellishments. That should be plenty.

I started with 4 paper bags of a similar size

I covered each bag both sides with patterned paper from my kit. 

SIDE A

SIDE B

Next, I carefully folded each bag in half.

I noticed on my instructions from before that I now decorated the pages. This time I have decided to pierce the holes and sew the spine first.

Using a darning needle, I sewed the twine through the holes to secure my pages together.

I intend to tie ribbon around the fold later.

I had 5 photos so matted them on cardstock and placed them on various pages through the book.

I added embellishments from my mini kit also.

The back cover is plain, but matches the front cover's paper.

There are spaces on some pages for future photos or journalling.

Here's the tags
