Paperbag Mini Album

A Paperbag album is something I've always wanted to try. I finally finished my mini album, again, with American Crafts Papers and the self adhesive fabric papers.  Completing the album didn't take very long but thinking of what the album is going to be about took the longest time. 

I decided to dedicate this album to a compilation of all the little information about all my babies from the meaning of the names, to time they were born, the products they used, their favourite toy, etc. Its a keepsake containing all the little things of their lives.

Nadia means the beginning, the first.

The papers go very well here, little bees, green green grass. I added a safety pin (alright, they never used a safety pin but just for going with the baby theme, we'll just play along).

Nadira means rare, extraordinary, precious.

Ariff means knowledgeable, authority

Nasha means scent, perfume

Being a paperbag album, there are pockets for every page, which works out perfect for me to add little notes to every page or little keepsake.

My paperbag album spine. I've used the fabric papers for the binding of all the pages inside and out. 

I dunno about anyone else, but the paperbag album has always been the thing for me, everywhere I look there has always been a desire for me to make one. Maybe because of the texture, or maybe we make it from scratch or maybe how amazing it is we can make something out of something else, this would be an altered mini album.
