Paper bag fun.

Ryan's having a sleepover with her Nanny tonight and Jason is across the street bonding with the neighbours (I can hear him laughing from here) so I thought thought this was a great time to update.

I wanted to make something special for Ryan's teacher this year because she is such a wonderful person and Ryan will soon be moving on to the next age group very soon.  I've made one of these paper bag albums in the past and loved it so I thought I would give it another go.  It's a great way to capture a memory all the while being economical and using up scaps.  It was also the first time I really got to make use of my Big Bite - I gotta say it was fun!

I used binder rings to tie it all together...

And a little bit of ribbon too...

I used 4 paper bags all together and on the open end of each I made a little tabbed page with some hidden picks.

There are five kids in the class including Ryan and each child had there own 2 page spread.  There have been enough events at the daycare that I was able to get lots of pics to complete the album.

I gave Val the album on Friday along with an 8x10 framed group picture of her and the kiddos.  I left it in the morning and when I picked Ryan up she said, 'I just don't know what to say - the work that must have gone into that!'.  I love it when a labour or love is appreciated :o)  Thank you Val!
