Paper Bag Albums

It all depends on the number of bags you use. I usually do three bags which gives me 12 pages plus 3 pockets for inserts where I use both sides of heavy cardstock to give me 6 more pages to use. That's 18 pages in all. I know several scrappers who use the larger colored party gift bags you can find at most party supply stores to make larger albums. But I like the smaller lunch sacks myself. If I'm going to make a larger size album I might as well just use an 8x8 album. Sandy

Welcome to RCS!

I thought I'd give you a link to two paper bag albums I've done. One is a Christmas one:

Good luck! M-C

you can peek at my paper bag albums if you'd like i use the large lunch bags from target. i ususally use three occ 4 bags. you can get a few pictures on each page and you have inserts for either more pictures or journaling. they are fun to make i'm actually gonna work on one this week end to give a friend for her birthday end of aug as far as a bigger size well i'd probably use a regualr album. these are unique little albums why follow the mold break out have fun with them. go peek and have fun

I have done several in 6x6. I did buy 3 large paper bag albums from ebay but I haven't used them yet.

I've done a few paper bag albums, as teacher gifts. I agree with MC, they're not something I would do as a forever-type project. You're right though, it's definately hard to fit lots of info and pics on a paper bag album! :-)
