Love Themed Paperbag Album

I have to admit, I love making these!  They're so much fun, and super easy.    I started by buying a bulk selection of bags at my local restaurant supply store.  I took along a 6x6 piece of paper to select the right size when these bags are folded in half.  I think I spent like $30 on 500 bags.  They even had white ones too!  Most of the papers I used were from the Immortal DCWV stacks, with a couple other miscellaneous ones thrown in.

I picked three bags and put them together with the ends alternating directions, and then used my sewing machine to stitch them right down the middle to create the binding.  All the flowers I inked using Tim Holtz Distress Inks and Glimmer Mist, and I inked the paper edges with Distress Inks as well.
