shabby chic paper bag scrapbook album

When I was really into the shabby chic craze, I made this paper bag album. I used brown lunch bags folded in half and stitched together for the base of this album. (There are many ways to bind a paper bag album).
I used primarily pink, rose, patterned paper; a vintage book for its rose sketches and vintage greeting cards for their rose images; charms; paper clips; playing cards; buttons; vintage photographs (reproductions); book pages; beads | beaded trim; silk flowers; coffee stained tags; and various fibers (yarn).

The gorgeous photo charms in this book were made by Dawn at Tomorrow's Unknown.
