It was my best friend's birthday last week, so I made a paper bag book for her. She always asks to look at my work whenever I see her and she's one of the few people to actually appreciate how much time and effort things take, so I thought I'd make a little present just for her. It's made up of photos of her little boy when they came to stay with us last year.
It's made from 3 brown paper bags. I folded them, punched 3 holes about half an inch from the fold and then threaded ribbon through to bind them together.
I printed the title onto acetate and I used my favourite Basic Grey Papers to decorate and embellish it.

Inside the bag openings I inserted 3 pull out photo pages.

She left a message on my answer phone while I was away to thank me. I'm over the moon! She said that it was the nicest present she'd ever received and that she cried when she saw it!
