I decided to make a paper bag brag book out of lunch bags. I have lots of pictures to share!

1. I cut a large paper bag section for the cover. 2. I stitched the cover and pages together. You can use adhesive, but I wanted the book to be a little more tidy, so that the flaps would stay shut.

3. I used brown ink and sponged all over the album to give it an aged look. 

4. I used my wood burning tool on the edges to give it a burn look.

This brag book was made using my daughters pictures of her with her 3 horses. It was the perfect opportunity to use my horse stamps. 

I used die cuts to cut the flowers out of fabric.

The inside front cover has a pocket.

I used the wood burning tool on the wooden star and the suede 

that I stamped on.

I stamped and heat embossed the "Howdy" stamp on a piece of fabric.

I created my own frames using a fancy frame stamp and 

little stackers rectangle die cut.

I used the wood burning tool on suede to create this flower embellishment.

The back page also has a pocket.
