Paperbag Scrapbook

Two weeks ago I had my monthly Daisy (Girl Scout) meeting with A. The girls created paper bag scrapbooks.  I put together little kits which consisted of one paper bag scrapbook, patterned papers cut to size, matching embellishments, and a glue stick for all 16 girls!  They were super cute and I wish now that I had taken some pictures of them.  My co-leaders and I gave the girls a quick lesson on how to use the papers and embellishments to create the scrapbooks and asked that each girl bring one picture.  We showed them how to crop a picture and to use the paper and emellishemnts to enhance their photos.  We discussed "journaling' or telling the story behind the pictures.   I believe the girls had a great time and felt proud of their creations.  Each girl received a fun patch to put on their Daisy tunics.

Of course I wanted to have some fun too!  Here are a few shots of the scrapbook I made.

Notice how I used the "pocket" of the bag to place a notecard for journaling.

I will share here a tutorial on how to make a paper bag scrapbook soon.  They are super easy to make but I've come to find a few things that make them even easier.
