Paper Bag Scrapbook

I first seen paper bag scrapbooks about a year ago, I liked the look of them ever since. Well I have Finlay bitten the bullet and started making one. I'm intending on making this for my Mam from my kids, for Mam's Birthday on the 20th of this month. The kids have done letters and pictures for there Nana which will be going inside the pockets with in the book.

This is the front of the book. Don't know if I have gone OTT with the ribbon, but I like the effect. The flowers were also not originally planned there, but I slipped with the gold marker, so the flowers where a happy accident.

This is the first two pages of the book. I want to try and carry the natural colour theme through the book, but adding hints of colour. I chose the blue for this to match my sons blue outfit. I think it works, Not perfectly but enough.

I do think the rings need more ribbon on the inside as it looks SOOOOOOOOOOO boring without. But wondering it it will be tooooo bulky if I add to every inside bit.... Will have to think about this a bit more. It definitely needs something else.

Unfortunately I am limited with photographs to scrapbook, as my mother has always hated her photo taken, I have literally found eight photos and that is it, six with my kids and two of Mam on her own. Ok I hate my photo taken also, but now I'm into scrap booking I see how important photos are.

Hopefully will have some more pages to show tomorrow, maybe even finished it off.

Thanks for looking.
