Leeanne, this is so beautiful! I have watched this video like 3 times trying to get ideas for my first mini (also a paper bag mini). I have a question- did you use regular lunch bags or did you use the nicer ones from Michaels? (I am using the regular ol' cheapo ones but am afraid that they might be too wrinkly.) Again, love this!!!!

Lee!!!! What paper pack did you use for this? I LOVE these colors together! I'd love for you to make something for your house. Something that you could put in a frame and hang on the wall. =) LOVE your work! I love Laura, too!

[Luvleescrappin]

@britmh77 Thanks so much sweetie! I'm glad you like it :-) Most of the papers are from the "Meadow Lark" collection by My Mind's Eye. LOVE those papers! Yes...a house project is coming sometime hahaha...I wish I could have all the time in the world to craft lol!!! I have made decor paintings and canvas before three paintings are in my master suite and a 4 peice canvas in our living room...it's so much fun making your own decor...and cheaper too! TFW girl...hugs ~ Leanne :-)

[jacob3boys]

i think this is my favorite mini on youtube. i will be using your ideas for mini's i'm making for grandaughter's cheer. do you know if the circle punch you used for letters were 5/8 and bottom circle 3/4 inch??

[jhoclueless]

Wow Lee!! Absolutely amazing. This video still amazed me and awed by it even though I've seen the sneak peek! I love how you got to use my dies and punches to put in this mini!! Love love love this mini! Best one I've seen! Did you mail it to your Sis already? Can't wait til our class next Saturday!

This album is really beautiful. I'm sure your sister will be so happy to receive it. I really like your style. You are very talented. TFS - Lynn

[anhannaford]

how did you bind this mini??

[Luvleescrappin]

@anhannaford Thank you so much for your sweet comment. To bind the mini album, All the paper bags are adhered to eachother using Provo Craft's Terrifically Tacky Tape (I used Laura's: FollowThePaperTrail paper bag mini technique) with a chipboard front/back cover. I then covered the entire album with canvas and then embellished it. I added a "D" ring to the side to tie ribbons etc for an added touch. I hope that makes sense lol. Let me know if you have any further questions TFW Hugs ~ Leanne:-)

[anhannaford]

This mini is simply amazing! It is just so beautiful! It is the pefect combination of paper and embellishments and it is truly elegant!

[livartnow]

This is just gorgeous!! Love everything about it, lots of space for pictures and journalling and such wonderful details!!!

[humkamesh]

Hi lee. Lovely album. Your sister will be very happy. I was wondering what size paper bags did you use and which brand? R they black paper bags?

[Luvleescrappin]

@humkamesh Thanks you so much for your comment :-) The paper bags I used were from the dollar store, they are black and measure 10" x 5 1/4" I was going to use black bags from Michaels...but they smaller and with the folding technique of the paper bag album, it would have decreased the size even more. Anyway...thanks again :-) Hugs ~ Leanne :-)

[jolac46]

Gorgeous mini.  Love the color combination. Thanks for sharing, Johanne L.

[sba0529]

This is beautiful! I love all the pear charms and the pocket book mini inside. I have not tried a paper bag album yet but would like too. How do you keep bag from opening up so wide inside the album?

[Luvleescrappin]

@sba0529 Thank you so much for your comment :-) I sealed down the side gussets of the paper bags (I really don't like them opening up a lot). This prevents the main pocket of the bag from opening up wide. I hope that makes sense...if not let me know :-) TFW Hugs ~ Leanne :-)

[JBLdyScrapper48]

Lee! This is amazing! Just gorgeous. I love how you included memorbilia from the wedding, which will make it extra special to your sister. I can see the love in the details. They will treasure this I'm sure! TFS :)

[Luvleescrappin]

@JBLdyScrapper48 Thanks girl!!! It was so much fun to create!!! I can't wait till my sissy gets it! Hugs ~ Luv Lee :-)

[nschriefer]

I must tell you that I've watched a gazillion videos on beautiful mini albums people have made, but I think this is the most stunning one I've seen. The colors are great, all the little pockets, etc. are just wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing it with everyone.

[NewlyWedz06]

[Luvleescrappin]

@paperdrama Thanks so much for your comment! I got the pear charms on eBay...I don't remember the sellers name...but if you put "pear charms" in the search bar on eBay...a wack load will show up. I just chose the cheapest (including shipping). TFW ~ Hugs Leanne :-D
