Description:
I love paper bag Albums I think they are fun and easy to do. I only saw one swap on here for a "love" theme album and well, I'm not in love and thought since I love paperbag albums that I would host a swap for a paperbag album of any theme! Well, any theme your partner might like. Here are the details: 3 paperbags MUST be used (no more, no less). They can be any color, but they must be the typical lunch size and you need to make sure they are bound (either by brads, ribbon etc.) They must be fully decorated with no blank pages. You can leave blank areas for your partner to paste in their own pictures, but no paper bag should be showing. Please be creative and use fun embellishments, pull outs, eyelets, brads, tags etc. Please pick a theme or color scheme that your partner would love to receive. Do a little research on your partner! If you have any questions please let me know. I would like to get this swap up and running as soon as possible. I know it will be fun! If you have a preference on colors or themes, please post them to let your partner know! ~Happy Swapping~ NEWBIES: if you want to enter this swap, please write to me and tell me why you would be a good canidate and not a flaker. I WILL be checking profiles What is a paperbag album? check out this page: http://scrapbooking.about.com/library/weekly/blpaperbagscrapbooks.htm

I can't read the whole description of the swap due to a glitch in swapbot... does this have a theme of love, or is it an open theme? thanks!

That's weird. I was relaying that I DO NOT want to do a "love" theme (as there is already one listed). The theme is up to you, but you need to keep in mind what your partner would like to receive. If she is into unicorns and rainbows, a goth theme might not be appropriate. LOL

I will have to keep this swap in mind. I love the idea. Never seen it before today. Thinking this would be a great thing to make for my MIL for Christmas -- with different theme's throughout the year of my boys and thier activities!

I'd love to join this one, but the turn around time is too short. There's no way I can do one that quick..Thanks for hosting though, and thanks for a great idea!!

How are they to be bound?

aonbelay 01/ 8/2009 #

You can bind them any way you like. Some people use ribbon, some with metal rings or brads. The choice is up to you.

I extended the swap date an extra week to give people more time. Hope this helps

Are you talking about the big grocery-sized bags, medium bags, or lunch bags? Does it matter? Please advise.

The standard brown paper lunch bag size. If you would like to go bigger that's up to you, but the lunch bag size works the best to keep them easy to ship.

Are you making the standard brown paper lunch bag size a swap requirement? If you are would please add it to the swap description so there is not confusion or hurt feelings?

aonbelay 01/10/2009 #

we are officially announcing the lunch bag size. Any bigger (like the grocery bag size) becomes hard to ship. If you would like to make this size to earn hearts that's up to you, but not required. Hope this helps
