Cub Scout Paper Bag/Envelope Book

This is a very theme specific paper bag/envelope album that I made for my son.  I will be giving him this at his Arrow of Light ceremony next week ... he hasn't seen it yet!  

Front cover hosts his council patch and a ribbon around the outer edge of the book because it's so full it doesn't close properly.

A journaling tag tucked in the envelope, the bottom is his whittling chip badge & the photo that is tucked in the pocket contains a knot that my son tied.

Another page of badges & another journaling tag

Photos attached to pages, a photo in the pocket with a photo on both sides...one side is his first Pinewood Derby, the other side is his last Pinewood Derby

The square piece on the left has journaling on it and gets tucked in the flap. The other side is  more journaling and some cub scout stickers

This flip flap cascade will hold all of his rank badges (the others are still currently on his uniform)

A flip flap cascade of the cards that he received every time he achieved a new rank

His arrow points (achievements) that he earned as a Wolf are stapled on a paper & tucked in the pocket on the left. The right side has a camp patch tucked in the pocket

Photos, his arrow points from his Bear year and a photo tucked in the pocket with another knot that he tied

The yellow pocket has a message from me.

More flaps & envelopes

A horizontal cascade with some 4" x 4" photos

Flip flaps stacked one on top of the other

The photos on the right are a removable mini album that holds six 4" x 6" photos

Another cascading flip flap display (LOVE flip flaps for adding extra photos without the clutter)

The piece on the right is an envelope. Inside contains a handwritten message from his Den Leader who happens to be his Dad :) 

Some extra 4" x 6" photos attached to the back page of the album

I have a class scheduled at The Houston House to teach people how to create their own paper bag album. For more details, visit www.marysvilleartleague.org 

**I will have many flip flaps in a variety of sizes available at the "Embellishment Bar" at the classes.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Scrapping!!!

First Paper Bag Album

I created this paper bag album using craft paper and teal embellishments.  This one was made for my daughter. I have yet to add pictures to it.

Tag in the pocket, additional tag in the fold that will pull out & hold a photo

More hidden photo tags

This is a cover page that flips up & holds a 4x6 photo

When you pull the small silver tab ....

A 2"x 2" flip flap waterfall cascades down

Some stamping and more flip flaps

Same photo as above with the tags  pulled out

More hidden tags with flip flaps :)

4" x 4" flip flap page

Hidden tag with bow embellishment

All sorts of tags! These will be for journaling 

Tag on the left slides out of the cover. More flip flaps on the right with a hidden tag tucked in the pocket

Same photo as above with the tag pulled out of the pocket. This will hold a photo

This was SUCH a fun album to put together!  All pages are made using paper bags adhered to a custom made binding, and attached at different parts of the spine.

Thanks for looking!

Happy scrapping!
