In this month Creating Keepsakes magazine, someone sent in a layout that they did on Spring Break at Myrtle Beach. One of the pictures in the layout is Jimmy Buffet Magaritaville. This is one of the views right outside my store's door. Unfortunately, not one item in her layout was from my store.

I did some more work on my book and I'm actually almost done. I haven't decided if i want to add photos or not though. I may though if I have some empty pages leftover.

Anyone have suggestions for a very simple scrapbook that our 6 year old cubscouts are suppose to make? It's all "from scratch" meaning we don't have a book to start with. I could have have the parents get a cheap three ring binder or I could staple construction paper together. Should I request a certain number of photos that the boys bring? Should I request certain shots (ie one of each kid in his uniform, one of his parents, one of his pets, etc.)? I want to make this easy, though I would also like this to be something he could keep. If I had the parents have each boy write something for the book, what should I have them write? Any ideas would be way appreciated. TIA!!

Julie, I have been thinking about your post. That is tough - 6 year olds! Whatever you decide to do, it must be very easy and fast. I like the idea of the construction paper. Maybe you could have titles on each page and they just add the picture and some stickers. Sorry, I do not have any suggestions, but I am curious to know what you did decide to do.

Julie, what did you decide for the book? I wish I could have seen it sooner... Knightpatti- it's been a while! we need to talk! things have changed and I will be doing custom scrapbooks instead! I still want to do the store but now it's not for another 2 years or so...I still have all the info saved though and I have started a project notebook writing all my ideas,e tc....for when the time comes. How is the store going?

Kearie, I went to Search on MSN and typed in "paperkins" and it brought up lots of different places that carry them including ebay. Don't know if that helps, I hope so though!

Thanks BABY. I still don't feel comfy shopping on line. Maybe I will check them out. For anyone interested, I posted pics of my latest paper crafting adventure in my folder. Take a gander and let me know what you think.

I'm working on a 12x12 paper bag album to give my secret pal at work. I've made up thank you notes after every gift and I'm going to put them in the album. It's going to be a very simple book but I'm trying to find a way to cover up the paper bag area where the holes are. On a 6x6 one I just used strips of ribbon. I wanted to try something different with this book since it's bigger but not sure what. I was going to glue some beads in the space but I'm going to need alot more than what I have. I would've had some real pretty black and pink beads but some so and so outbid me on ebay dammit.

War, it's an album made out of paperbags. They're very simple but you can be very creative. Let me look for somme pics and when I get hope I'll post a copy of the one I'm working on.

Yes I want to know too Mocha. My daughter is a scrapbooker too and I think she would be interested in what a paper bag album is too.

eBay also has kits to make the albums yourself or you can buy them already made. Of course already made ones cost more lol.

No fun if you buy a kit, lol. I think I'll see if I can do one. Need a gift for my great aunt who really doesn't need anything but loves pictures of the kidlets.

Ok here's a pic of some of the pre-made ones I bought:
And this is a pre-made kit that I put together and the circled part is where I cut up some ribbon to hide the brown bag part by the holes:
And this is the 1 page I have started for my secret pal and I circled the area that I need to cover with the beads or something:

Come visit Mocha, we'll go to the bead store and search for something that'd work for your book. Not sure if you'd be interested but here's a bead site that's pretty good (this is one of the sites Secretsmile gave me, I know there's several more but I don't seem to have them saved to my favorites.) aunties beads They've got pretty decent prices. Hope you'll post pics when you have it done, I'm interested to see what you do with it.
