My new paperbag album :)

[sinead]

I've been busy while fighting a head cold/upper respiratory infection/day after day of migranes. :) In the times when I haven't been asleep, I made a paper bag album to keep me motivated on my weight loss journey. The first page's journaling is from the layout here (http://www.thedigichick.com/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/116839/ppuser/1958), and the last page's journaling is from the layout here (http://www.thedigichick.com/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/118519/ppuser/1958).

Thanks for looking!

(oh, and it uses papers and elements from Kelley Mickus' "One Fine Day" (http://www.thedigichick.com/shop/product.php?productid=18119&cat=0&page=2) and fonts from Taran Conyers--TK Doodle (http://www.thedigichick.com/shop/product.php?productid=18710&cat=0&page=3), TK Honey Do (http://www.thedigichick.com/shop/product.php?productid=18711&cat=0&page=3), TK Mouse (http://www.thedigichick.com/shop/product.php?productid=18712&cat=0&page=4), TK Smarty Pants (http://www.thedigichick.com/shop/product.php?productid=18714&cat=0&page=4), TK Turtle Soup (http://www.thedigichick.com/shop/product.php?productid=18716&cat=0&page=4), TK Stamped (http://www.thedigichick.com/shop/product.php?productid=18715&cat=0&page=4)

(so any tips about the paper bag albums, now that you've done it?)

Was it strange to work in square again? :giggle:

Stunning album Sinead!

[sinead]

I just followed Darcy's advice and did glue tape all around each edge. Then I used craft glue (Alene's tacky craft glue in that brown bottle) and spread it with one of those little sponge brushes. I spread the glue all over the back of each layout and even covered the tape. I did the cover last. Easy peasy. Oh, and when I first put the bags together, I stapled from one side to the other without any real space in between staples. It seemed to give it good stability. :)
