You made this easier than I have ever seen it done before- Thank you and beautiful books.

[sil2289]

@luckycharm031 ~ You are so kind! I'm so happy that my tutorial was helpful to you....your feedback was greatly appreciated!

[ilovepookymonster]

i love the pet album where did you buy your paper for the pet album?

[sil2289]

@ilovepookymonster ~ Thank you so much! I purchased it at Joanns ~ it's called The Pets Stack. You can also find it one their website

[nickki64053]

Thanks for sharing how to make theses! I like the finished look they have over the other paper bag albums that I have made before. I like the one that has the the over tab, how did you make that? I promised my cousing a scrapbook about her daughter, and I think I'd like to use this kind of book to make it!

BTW, your other minis are great!

[TamiDawnA]

TFS .... Your mini's are pretty.  ;o)

[sil2289]

@TamiDawnA ~ Thank you so much! I really appreciate your feedback as well as the compliment. : )

Big Kuddo's. I have been searching you tube for paper bag scrapbook instructions and this is the best and I have seen a lot. I love each album. I too do not like the ribbon look as the binding. I like your idea about the extra card stock for binding. Please continue to share your great ideas!

[mica1120893]

what are the materials that you used please comment back!

[sil2289]

Aww! Thank you very much! Yes, the inserts are made from cardstock, I used the same paper line that came from the paper collection.

[fwcfalcon81]

This is so GREAT! I've seen other videos and yours is by far the best. The extra pages with the tabs attached, are those made from just regular cardstock ?

Thanks so much for creating this video. My young teen daughter has just started scrapbooking and loves to watch a video class and then create her album. Yours is perfect for her, just the right speed, good instructions and speaking voice and nothing inappropriate for young ears. She'll be so excited to see it and follow along. I'm going to check out your other videos now, too. Thanks so much!

[sil2289]

@cathmomofsix - Aww! I really appreciate your feedback. I'm really thrilled that you liked my video and that you feel this will inspire your daughter. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment.

I LOVE these albums! How did you create the flap on the dog mini? I love that look! TFS Lily

[acanadiancandy]

Thanks for your explanation on the paper bag album.. I like how you finished them.. and not necessarily have to use the D rings on the ends.. Great to see different takes on these paperbag albums.. Thanks for sharing.

[amylucimar]

the one with the flap to close it, is that an extra bag added to it?

[sil2289]

@amylucimar ~ Yes it is. It's facing the opposite side, so that the bottom of the bag is what I used as the closing flap.

[amylucimar]

@sil2289 cool thanks!

[mstephens405]

How do you make the inserts? Thanks for the wonderful Ideas!

[kimcobb6]

Thanks so much for such an excellent tutorial on these albums. You make it look so easy. Great Job!

[sil2289]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[mysugarplumcottage]

This is the most absolute complete video ever made for paper bag albums! Thank you so very much! Although the volume was low, I got out my earphones and could hear you loud and clear. Thank you for precise instructions!!! I love your albums! - Joyce

[allibyogirl]

great job explaining it. i made some earlier today. i was on a roll. i really like the one with the flap best.

[sil2289]

I'd love to see what you created....you should post a video.

[dmwadley74]

Love your books! Do you know where you got the clasps for the puppy book? Or what they are called? I've been looking all over the internet for them to no avail. Thanks and keep up the great videos!

[phoenixxjea]

I've seen those thingies on the back of picture frames. They hold the back part of the frame together. Haha.

And this is a great video! I bought those target bags also! The smaller ones, I've started on an album, but I love the way you did it with the binding! I made mine way too complicated, haha. Thanks for sharing. :)

[mommunson]

awesome books

great job!!:)

[sil2289]

Thank you! I'm glad you liked them.

[sil2289]

Thank you! It's not the volume, it's my voice, I've been told all my life that I speak so softly and it's hard to hear me....I've always been told "speak up"....so that is what I will have to do. : )

[melslifeart]

Hi!! Love your videos. Your a real inspiration! One little thing, could you try to increase the volume of your videos? It is really quiet and I don't want to miss one word you say, LOL! Thanks and keep the videos coming!

[Craftdogfun101]

^_^

[sil2289]

Thank You!!

[Craftdogfun101]

yr welcome hope yr having a great day

[onehappywon]

I love these albums. I've never made one before, but you explained it so well, so I made one this morning. I only glued the bags together so far, but can't wait to decorate it. Thanks for the ideas and clear instructions!

[sil2289]

Thank you! I would love to see the finished product. You think you would be willing to share it with us on a video?

[onehappywon]

If I can figure out how to post a video, I will, but unfortunately, I'm not that technically gifted. :)

[ajballetslippers150]

thanks so much ill maybe start a new account and do my own scrapbook tutorials ill just tell it to you if its open keep on scrapin!!!

[ajballetslippers150]

can i ask how long did you work on it ? where do you buy most of your materials ?

how many paper bags did you use and what kind hope we can be friends my name is angelica and im 11 years old i love scrapbooking!!!!(and mini albums) hope you reply

[sil2289]

Hi Angelica, well, to create just the paper bag album itself (without applying the paper and embelishements) it took me probably around 5-10 min to gather all my bags, crease them, and glue them together. I used a total of 6 bags. I purchased them at Target. I'd love to see some of your work. I think you should make a video of some of the pages you've created or any crafty thing your done.

[desdichaedo]

Cool tutorial -- thanks for sharing! I especially like your dog album -- very cute! Those metal clips you used to keep the flap on the dog album closed are called "photo turns" by the way.

[sil2289]

You are very welcome!  Glad you liked them. You should give it a try, with you creative talent, I know yours would be as nice.

[smileysockmonkey96]

Thank you so much for sharing! I was always curious about how to make those. They came out cute!:)
