Dude Paper Bag Smash Album

Several years ago paper bag albums were all the rage. Today I'm sharing a different take and incorporating the handsome "Bro & Co" Collection by SIMPLE STORIES

 I also have a YouTube video available of the steps to create this unique album!

For the cover, I laminated patterned paper and strung the spine with round elastic cording to hold the pages in place.  

Moving to the inner pages:  I took four standard paper sacks and removed the bottom from two of them so they measured 7.5" wide.  The remaining two sacks were left in their original size and folded along the bottom gusset to create a pocket (see video).  

Between the paper bag pages, I added journal cards in various sizes to make the pages staggered.  Tags were tucked inside the pockets.

This is such a fun take on a classic album and I love the kraft paper look mixed with Bro & Co.!  Again, don't forget to see a complete tutorial on my YouTube Channel.  

Happy Sunday!
