Now for my project for today!

I posted the teaser pic above yesterday on my facebook page, I know, that was mean of me, huh? ;-) Well, now you can see the full album! I used papers from Graphic 45's "On The Boardwalk" line. Now, if you know me, you know that I'm not a big fan of making vintage albums... well, since I've discovered Graphic 45, I have fallen in love with vintage! Their papers have such beautiful colors and are so easy to work with! These are actually the first Graphic 45 papers that I purchased, I wasn't sure if I would like them or not, so I only ordered an 8x8 stack. That was probably not my best idea! While making this album I think I cut up every single piece of paper in the paper pad! I had a little moment and cut a few wrong sizes... OOPS! So I guess I will use the scraps for some other projects in the near future!

Here is my Beach themed cascading paper bag album, I hope you all like it!

I hope you enjoyed my little project for today! It is now up for purchase in my Etsy Shop!
