I truly enjoyed working with crocheted flowers as I've never worked with them before. Paper and silk flowers, yes, but not crocheted. My mom was kind enough to make them for me. I stitched throughout this album, which I think makes it look warm- almost like a quilt.
I added my favorite embellishments: charms, lockets, buttons, vintage like keys, etc. I included vintage pictures (copies), so that the buyer would see how their pictures would look in the album. I used mostly pictures of couples. It felt like such a romantic book. The book might work well as a wedding keepsake.
Stunning!! I have never seen such a beautiful paper bag book! You can't even tell it is made out of a paper bag. You are so talented!

This is amazing. You must do your minipage then stick it on the paperbag page. I have made a couple for my kids but feel like I haven't quite mastered it. I love love love the colors and details.
