Paper Bag Album - Celebrate Pink

October is still moving along!  Which means we are still in Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  So I decided to create a paper bag album using this theme.

I love the way it turned out!  The album is made from 6 paper bags, two pieces of chipboard, and is decorated with Breast Cancer Awareness scrapbook paper and embellishments.  There's a lot of scrapbooking potential packed into this adorable album.

There are 6 full sized pages (roughly 5" by 6") and 6 small tabs (roughly 5" x 3") perfect for placing pictures, embellishments, journaling cards, and more!  There are also 12 pull out cardstock cards for you to utilize however you choose!

This paper bag album also comes with a few stickers/embellishments paper clipped to the first page for you to further personalize your album.

The cover measures approximately 7" x 6".

6 Free Hat Patterns to Knit!

Fall is in the air everyone!  Living in central Florida means waiting and waiting for Fall to come around.  Everyone else has been welcoming the beginnings of Fall while we Floridians wait around pretending that we will soon experience the change of season.  But let's be honest, Fall here means the temperature drops a little and that's all.  But we can still pretend and celebrate the coming of Fall with everyone else!  And what better way to do that than with a round up of free knitting patterns?
