CAMPING Themed Paper Bag Album/Mini Album #2





We made another 'Camping' themed paper bag album and used chipboard on the front and back covers for added support, and we tried something new by using silver rings to hold all of the paper bags together instead of tying ribbons. We tied a few ribbons and some denim to the silver rings. This one is really simple and we didn't include a lot of extra embellishments. It was a lot of fun to make and experiment with the chipboard and silver rings!

We have a video on YouTube showing how this little book opens and the tags as they are pulled out of the side pockets. Thanks for watching!!

VALENTINES DAY/LOVE Paper Bag Album Video



Hey everyone!! We made a short video to show you how a paper bag album looks with photos added. Our family has loved this little book and anyone that stops by will notice it sitting on our coffee table or end table and they just have to look through it. I made it a few years ago and after everyone has looked through it over and over, it is holding up well.
We love these paper bag albums! They are fun and unique and fit perfectly in a bag or purse so that you can have a brag book with you at all times :-)

Thanks for watching!!

THE CABINS at Bear River Lodge/Fishing at Lyman Lake






September29-30, 2017


My husband took me to stay at The Cabins at Bear River Lodge so that I could take some 'fall' themed photos for our upcoming 2018 calendars. We rented a Razor to drive up into the mountains to do some fishing at some of the lakes and to take pictures of all of the gorgeous colors along the way. We wanted to get to the Lyman Lake first, to do some fishing, and then stop at different spots along the way back out of the mountains to take some nature photos.
Unfortunately, a storm was brewing while we were fishing at Lyman Lake and we didn't notice it until we got up to the main road after fishing for about an hour. We could see the storm off in the distance and as we were driving down there was a light rain which turned into big drops and then light snowflakes hitting into our faces as we drove.
My husband caught about 5 fish with and I finally reeled one in just as we were getting ready to leave.

'The Cabins' are beautiful with gorgeous views and sounds of the river behind and below, as well as the beautiful mountains all around!
