Paperbag Scrapbook: First page & Velvet Hard Cover Application
I've chosen to create a paperbag scrapbook. I went to Michaels and
bought the Celebrate black bags because they are of higher quality. As
you can see the front and back covers are done: I used red velvet paper
to cover the two mattes I have cut out. I folded the paper bags to
create pockets and pages. I then glued the folds that I wanted to keep
closed. Surprisingly this is really time consuming!
My First Scrapbook Project
It has been forever since I've updated. I created this space online
to document my research, design process, and execution. I have had many
art blogs (like this one) but I have lost my photos and links of my
other past projects. And some I have not even updated on here (polymer
clay creationgs). My current project will be a gift and when I give it away I
would like to have it here for my future reference.
Below are the general steps I took to arrive at my final ideation of my first scrapbook. It is a lot of trial & error since it is my first time but it is very fun to do. I've ALWAYS wanted to create a scrapbook but didn't really find the inspiration or reason to. I searched youtube and found so many inspirational videos and decided it would be perfect to make for my bf. When my co-worker mentioned she scrapbooks, I was even more inspired and determined to start. I am creating this scrapbook for my sweet boyfriend for our 365 days anniversary.

Steps I took:
- Research. Find out about the many options to create scrapbooks..too many...ahhh..
- Think of a theme or how I want the finished look to be - not too girly, no pinks, and romantic.
- Visit art stores and see what is available. Pick and coordinate patterns/colours and all material. (hardest part..)
- Figure out how to put together the pages and binding of the book.
- Go back to the store to find embellishments to add to the project...go back again...
- Finally START making it. (and keep it a secret from Boyfriend)
