Paper Bag Scrapbook Purse & Video #60

I know you've ALL been waiting for me to post this one ~ this is one of my favorite projects I did for the booo-log party but had a flat tire on the way to YouTube and couldn't get it to load right. Sorry about the delay but I hope you enjoy it now.



I start with 4 brown lunch bags, alternating the ends. Using various pattern papers, embellishments and "stuff" - just pretty it up. The ribbon is the black swiss dots from papertreyink.com and I just LOVE their ribbon. It is very high quality and very easy to manage for me.



The flowers are 2 different pink prima flowers and the glass brad hold the center. I just used my paper piercer to make a tiny hole big enough to put the brad through and secure.



The purse does have several "pockets" but since this is a purse if you put a gift inside or momentoe's please use some ribbon to secure it to prevent your goodies from falling out.



The possibilities are endless with these paper bag scrapbooks - just endless.



I had so much fun making this one and do have lots of room for improvement so I can't wait to do another.

    Hi Tracy, I love your purse idea. I am going to make it for my next door neighbor, Susan. She teaches a Ladies Bible Study group on Tuesdays and I think it will be perfect for her! I am going to ask the another lady who emails the others to see if she can get me copies of pictures of the ladies in our group. I love that you made a girly one knowing you have 2 adorable boys. Thanks, Ginny
