School's out for Summer

Welcome to the School's out for Summer Blog Hop.
I want to first thank Jessica  and Nancy for allowing me to be a part of this Hop.  


If you are coming from Jess then you are on the right Track and making your last stop here.  If  you just happened by and want to start at the beginning of the Hop please start with Jessica .  


Now for my project for this Hop.  I made a Paper Bag Mini Album titled Summer Fun.
it consist of 10 pages plus the front and back. It has 3 big pockets to add fun things like the ticket stubs to the Zoo or more picture.  All three of these pockets have a pull out to journal on or again add more pictures.   It has two small pockets on the inside as well. All the embellishments are hand made. I really loved making this little book.  I kept thinking about that first day of school when the teacher asked us to write about our summer vacation and viola' the pages were born lol.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it. I would so love to read your comments on what you think of this little mini album.  It is also for Sale just email me for info.  Thanks and here it is. 

The book is made with a #10 Paper Bag.  It is larger than a normal lunch sack and measures approx. 6 1/2 x 6

The Popsicle's were a rectangle and I used a corner Punch to round the edges  and then did a free hand center dip
(pop dots used here also)

The clouds are cut from Create a Critter and I used my gypsy to change the shape by stretching it  some.

The Sun and the Clouds are cut from Create a Critter and I just changed the size of the clouds to give a variety to it.
The Sun I just added Google Eyes to it to give it a little more character.
Clouds have been raised with pop dots.

Paper Bag Mini Album

Just wanted to post the pics of my Paper Bag Mini Album I finished.  I think it came out beautiful but then I'm a little prejudice.  Go figure lol.  I don't know why I picked the colors I did, but it all worked out so wonderful. I think it is classy yet a tad whimsical in spots.  Black, Red and White always look so nice together.  Well, here are the pictures of the album.
i have to give credit where credit is due.... my sweet Cousin, Sharon, was my "assistant/apprentice" on the mini album... she wanted to learn how to make one so i packed up and went to her house. After her helping me i told her she was my official assistant. Didn't know i needed one until then.... she was a great help to me. Thanks CUZ for EVERYTHING you do for me. (not just scrap'n)



The above page has a shallow pocket on it. The pull out is red with white polka dot. I added the black ribbon to use to pull the tag out.

 Above pic is one of the pages that has a slide out and you can see I did it in red. 
 The below pic is the back side of the same page and the back of the insert.




 The above and below pages are my favorite two, a side from how the front turned out lol


 more of my little flowers



 These two pics are a close up of the flowers on the front cover of the album.  You know I have to add my flowers some where. lol
