Take a look.....please

That's cute Tracy. You did a great job. How long did it take you to make it? Now that you have it made, what are you going to do with it?

That is soooo cool!! And, very pretty too...I love the colors, papers and accents you used. I missed the discussion about the albums, where did you get the idea?? That is really neat! Arleen

charming. I think I might try one of these.

Hi Tracy!!!! That is really cute. Love the whole look. I'm also curious about the time it took and what you are planning on doing with it!

This is great, are lunch bags acid free?

Thanks Deb, It took me about 2 hours, keep in mind I had my 2 kids running around the house and it was my first time doing it, I plan on making a few more tomorrow, I will tell you how long they take now that I have experience. About what I am going to do with it, I am planning on giving it to my secret santa from another group I am in, Thanks again for the compliments Tracy K

so cute... love the colors. Now I want to try one!

The album is really cute! Thanks for sharing. It's a great idea for using all of the scrap pieces I just can't seem to part with. Sandy in Southern Indiana

Great job Tracy! Love the colours! I can't believe that took you just two hours! I think it would take me at least two days! :))

That looks great! I was thinking what a great idea for doing an album for little ones if you needed a quick project for them to do. I'm glad you made this one and showed us, gives me hope that I can actually make one! LOL

Looks great!! Love it!! You did a lovely job :) Thanks for sharing :)

That is just adorable Tracy! I think it's great:>)

Wow I love that you gals are diving in and trying this project. I really want to do one to and now I have someone to give me pointers. This turned out really cute.

Tracy your album is awesome. I love it! You did a wonderful job. I don't think I could have made it in one evening either. TFS!

Hi Tracy, I am also making one. I copied off the directions last week and tried on at home yesterday. Mine isn't quite like yours though. I am doing the one where you tear the bag open, cut the end off and fold it up. I will take pictures when I am done. I'm not done with mine yet. Almost. I also had two little kids running around. Very crazy. Especially when trying to do something I've never done before.

I have a few questions though. Did you use the regular grocery bags. If so do they have the writing on them. If not where can I get plain grocery bags with no writing. I have lunch size bags but they are too small. Also what did you use to get the holes on the side for the ribbon. And did you just fold your bags in half. And how many did you use.

This has been a really fun project. And it didn't cost me anything. I'm just using stuff I have at home. I'm giving mine to a girl friend. We usually exchange gifts at Christmas. I was wanting something inexpensive. And I did it for nothing. Now that's my kinds of bargain.

Thanks so much for the idea!!!!!

Hugs,

That is so cute Tracy. How many lunch bags did you use? I'm going to have to try one!
