Description:

Thought folks would want a Valentine Scrapbook to either keep or give to your someone special, For this swap you will use three brown paper bags (equaling 9 decorated pages plus the front and back). (Typically leave the back plain as it isn't seen usually and makes it easier for storage.) Bind them together with either brads, ribbons, or similiar. Each page should have most of the page covered so that not much paper bag is showing.

You can make pockets, use tags, and so on for your partner to place photos to it. Things to use can be as simple as scraps from your craft basket, room, or box. Mine are made completely from scraps in my room. Some ideas/instructions are:

  • 3 Brown Paper Lunch bags (Close to a 6"x6" size or similiar)
  • Vrious ribbons
  • Chipboard Letters (i. e., "L", "O", "V" and "E")
  • Valentine's Day embellishments/stickers or stamps
  • Inkpads to ink the sides of your photo matts
  • Embellies / Diecuts and so on
  • Brads/eyelets
  • Valentine photos (e.g., cherubs, hearts, bouquets, chocolates, puppies, and more)

All are welcome to join; however, if you have a one or no sends, it will be a case by case review.

Although it is a short mail turn-around-time, once you join, start your bag and have it ready to mail by the due date to ensure Valentine Day delivery.

@1Scrapper did you make the album above? It is beautiful!

Yes, I got a picture from a friend of this one and duplicated it - don't you love it. If I get a picture or one like it, I can make it. I have a few others I have made for private classes I teach and they are adorable too!
