Vertical Paper Bag Album – CTMH Babycakes Version

I had a great time making the Vertical Paper Bag Album featured on My Sisters Scrapper web site at mysistersscrapper.com. I located the fantastic youtube videos and followed along with these magnificent videos to make the album. I did not complete the album exactly as described but found the videos a great guide for the project. I used CTMH Flip Flaps,  CTMH Babycakes paper and CTMH Babycakes Picture My Life cards to complete vertical paper bag album. WARNING: this is a picture intensive entry that shows all the pages and interactive elements.
