Those colours scream romance and with Valentine's Day round the corner I thought i would make a Valentine's card with a bit of a twist for my hubby ... I made a paper bag album. These are really easy to make and great fun to decorate and embellish. I used 2 lunch bag style paper bags, folded them in half and stitched them down the middle. Then I decorated them ...
Inside page 1 ... I created a pocket for the tag and I will add a couple of leaflets I have kept from the trip (when I find them!!)
The middle page ... just needs some bits from the wedding ... menu, order of service adding to the pocket ... need to scan and shrink them first!
And the final page ... I couldn't believe this was the only photo of the four of us ... it was taken 5 years ago!! Need to get that sorted!!

That's fabulous Cathy. A whole album for Dave. Andy will be lucky if I remember to give him a card lol xxx
Hi Cathy, how fab is that! Never tried a paper bag album before.
Love the image, which is wonderfully coloured, and so lovely to see the pictures (I do like a good nosey at other people's pics - because I'm a nosey sort of person!) ;-)
You got married a few months after me and my hubby - we were Sept 03. We've been looking through our wedding pics at the weekend, because the theme this weeks at our daughters school is weddings so a trip down memory lane was in order!
Hope you have a lovely Valentines day!
