Something Else again....

 2nd paper bag album

This one is 4x5 

and will be perfect for my ACEO Collection

 all the pages have a pocket 

with a card stock insert 

 I really like the neutral paper

the varied ACEOs 

will really be the focus

Couldn't resist adding a couple leaves 

Decided to bind it all with hemp

and it worked out! 

The bow is totally unneccessary

and I am not sure I'll keep it.

Something else...

My First Album

made from paper lunch bags

 I saw one made where the bottoms of the bags are glued together and make little flaps 

or pockets inside the album.

The bags provide an accordion effect that allows 

for bulk inside the album without strain on the binding.

Yes Blue is my favorite color

so I went with a winter theme.

Here you can see the ribbon I used to bind the bags together to make the book.

I used 6 lunch bags 

In pairs

Back of the book

Here you can see a little of the binding. 

That part took me awhile to figure out.

I am happy I gave this a try and even started another one that I like a lot better.

I like Halloween

love to see the kiddos 

and see what the popular costume is

Nothing like a teenie weenie 

painting to mark the season

School Bus?

Bug Bus

all about being 

a bug

baby caterpillars 

hitching a ride

Celebrate Fall!

 Back to School

Just one of the fun things that happen each Autumn...

 Burning Leaves

My favorite Fall scent - Zap! 

I am a kid again 

running and jumping 

in piles of raked up leaves

until they are lit 

and begin to smolder

Autumn Gifts

Fall-ing Leaves

Hot Cider

Wow!

Ted is a gymnast, too?

Ted performs on the rings

he looks a little strained

hope he can do it :)

Olympic swim!

ted e bear on the olympic swim team?

Look who was at the Olympics in London!

I didn't see him in the group photo

but here is Ted

suited up and ready to swim.

I see he wisely chose the full leg speedo

hope that cuts some drag from his furry little body!
