Mini scrapbook album (3) - in a bag

Hi there,

Inspired by our recent move, I made this mini scrapbook album in a bag. It's all contained in the bag, easy to re-place. See picts below:

Simple paper box-bag was covered with patterned paper, ribbons decorating the handle.

These tags are the 'pages' of this album.


On one side of these tags I placed our California last visit to Seaworld, on the other side our visit to The Rock in New York City, with room for more adventures to come:)

Hope you're all well and seizing the moment!
Sarit.

About Color

OK, it's time I wrote something about my passion for color. I LOVE color. I can spend forever and a half at the paint isle in hardware stores, collecting the little swatches along with my kids; When it's time for clean up I volunteer to put the crayons away because it's such fun doing it :) I can stand in front of the nail polish stand at the nail salon long minutes, until my friend protests or help me choose one (why pick just one?); and I haven't even got to what happens to my budget at the scrapbook stores, with all those rich, vibrant cradstock variety, the yummy patterned papers and embellishments. I usually spend more than I should and buy more than I need...and that leads to stocks of scraps! Scraps I stash and vow to use one day... That day kept slipping by and the stock of colorful, patterned papers piled up too high for my space so I had to do something. In the layout below I used some of my colorful scraps to create a colorful layout of our trip to Maui, Hawaii.




Sorting through all those Maui photos I suddenly realized the light there is just great and the lushes nature scene colors every photos in vibrant, live colors.
Until next Friday, stay healthy and Happy, seize the day and keep scrapping!
