Paper Bag Albums?

[Bellegirl]

Hi! I've been searching and looking at MANY paper bag album tutorials. Gosh...there's absolutely a TON of them and they're all so different as well! PLEASE, someone who's made some of these, could you suggest / list your favorite way of creating these? Would you be willing to point me to your favorite tutorial / assembly method? Also, from what I've seen firsthand, the cheap paper bags are not the best to work with. Would you suggest using better made (heavier weight) bags from a craft store?

Thanks again!

I found an excellent tutorial from Follow the Paper Trail on Ustream. Here's a link: Archived LIVE Videos of Following the Paper Trail: Scrapbooking with Laura on USTREAM, page 3 of 4 - Captured live broadcasts and Streaming Video re-airings. Its called "Stack the Deck", and there are a couple different ones. This was very easy to put together. I really like the tutorials they have on their Ustream and YouTube channel for the mini albums. I'm not much of a mini album person, but I've made a couple with inspiration from her tutorials.

I got the brown paper bags and the pink ones in kits from my LSS and I either bind them with my BIA or I sew them together...I use what ever sparks my fancy or a line of seasonal paper...Create tags to go in the bags and have fun! I love to alter what I get with them and add other items to embellish them!

There is no *right* or *wrong* way to do them...
