I love mini albums. I love making them. I love receiving them. I love giving them as gifts. I just finished a vertical paper bag mini album as a bridal shower gift for a young lady in my church. She also happens to be my step-daughter's Sunday School teacher, so I put some extra love into it.
This 6 page mini album is made from the black Celebrate It lunch bags from Michael's. I used this tutorial video by Mysistersscrapper on YouTube to help me create this mini album. I used My Mind's Eye Lost and Found 2 Sunshine as my paper choice for this project. I used a 12x12 paper pad, 6x6 cardstock pad, and some assorted solid colors by Recollections.
Here are a few photos of the cover and my favorite pages from the inside.
I also made a video flip-through of this mini album. This is a new video set up for me and I did go out of frame a few times. Sorry! I just got it last night (Thank You, Darren!) and had to record the video real quick this morning before we left for the bridal shower. I need to get something down there to use as a guide to make sure I stay in frame for future videos.
I love this style of mini album. I think I will make several more! The most time consuming part is building the base of the album and making the pages. That took at least 6 of the 12 hours that I spent working on this.

| It's a little chunky! I only used a 1/4" gusset between my pages...maybe I should have made it wider! |
