Hi There!!! I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. Kids are on spring break this week and we're having fun which is probably why I'm not around as much as I normally am... But we're having fun and they're only little once so I am soaking it all up :)
So today I have a free printable mini album! These are the perfect size to create a paper bag mini album too! I measured them to be 5.5 x 5.5 .... Depending on the paper bags that you use, you may have to simply trim a little bit to fit.... There are paper bag tutorials everywhere if you google one, but if you can't find one, let me know and I will do one... I would do one for today's post, but "surprise - surprise" I can't find my batteries for my camera.... lol... Kids!
So here's the directions....
1. Get a few paper bags...
2. Fold them in half
3. Punch holes along the side. Some people do 3, some do 5. I typically do 5.
4. Stack the paper bags on top of eachother lining up the holes
5. Put ribbon through the holes and tie together (this is how the album will be held together)
Here's an example....
Now here are a few free printable pages for you to add to your album.....
Here are two printable pages with shipping tags behind the photo mat....
There's one with greens and blues and one in sepia...
And this one has reads "Easter Fun"
Here's one with a brown and aqua houndstooth pattern in the background.... Crowns...
Ribbon accent and a doily at the top and bottom, lightly added....
The same above layout but in pink!
This one is one of my fave's that I made with the robin's egg blue and polka dots on vintage red....
The same above layout with pinks....
The same one as above with the word "Family"
This one is in aqua's and blue's....
I like this layout below with "My Favorite Things."
Add a small photo or memento to the side of it along with your favorite things....

The same layout above but in pink... Including the pink shipping tag...
Cherished... Blue butterflies, the word "Cherished" and a few baubles :)

How about one in greens? Including a checked ribbon and layered papers + flower....

Template below for you to add your own colors too!
Pencils, markers, chalks, etc. :)
I hope you enjoy and were able to find a few pages... I tried to keep them simple so you have plenty of room to really do what you would like to do to them. Add embellishments, journaling, etc. And this way they may coordinate with anything you already have in your stash :)
XOXO

Use washi tape to make bunting. I think these would be cute for so many things. I really like the idea for the packaging too.... Thinking about using these for my orders that I ship out :)
