Paper Bag Album

This paper bag album is my version of a “green” project. For me being “earth friendly” means not only to recycle but also to reuse and reduce. Since our little cute nephew came to visit a few weekends ago, I had the perfect pictures to complete my album.

The album is made of recycled paper bags. All the cardstock and pattern paper you see in the album are scraps. I never throw paper away and I keep every piece to reuse on another project. The ribbons are also leftovers from previous projects and the same goes for the embellishments. For example, the letters “Cool Dude” have been inked black for another LO but I decided not to use them at that time. I really made a point of not using new goodies for this project. Finally, I tried to keep the album very simple in order to respect the “reduce” aspect.

Hope you enjoy!
