I’ve been wanting to make a paper bag scrapbook for the longest time. My local scrapbook store always have the cutest paper bag scrapbooks on display and I finally got it checked off my to-do list!
Since my daughter and son-in-law’s anniversary was coming up, I decided to make a paper bag scrapbook for them using 4 x 6 prints of their wedding photos. And, since paper is the traditional first wedding anniversary gift, my procrastination worked to my advantage!
I used a pack of 12 white paper bags from Michael’s.
After punching two holes at the closed end of the bags, I lined them up and threaded some leftover ribbon from wedding DIYs through the punched holes and tied them tightly to make the binding.
Then it was time for the fun part. Going through the dozens of photos and putting my favorites on the pages.I kept the pages simple for the most part. Just adding some ribbon here and there and a few beads that were leftover from wedding projects. My favorite thing about paper bag scrapbook are the open ends of the paper bags!
I filled the inside of the pages with keepsakes from the wedding: a handle from the programs that I made, a response card and envelope from their invitations, their save-the-date magnet, a bag from the cookie table, and a piece of tulle from her gown. I’m sure I’ll find more momentos to tuck into the pages as I finish this scrapbook.
Here are a couple more pages from the scrapbook:
It was fun to get back into scrapbooking! I love how it turned out and how it is so uniquely theirs, not only because of the photos, of course, but special, since I could include items from the wedding DIYs. Do you scrapbook? Have you ever made a paper bag scrapbook?
Linking to these fun parties!
Clever idea!! I’m speechless. Another point for versatile paper bags. 🙂

I’ve been wanting to try a new way to relax after a busy day, and during a late-night scroll I randomly came across the royalstiger casino in a forum. I started playing Sweet Bonanza and went through a few rounds of small losses that almost made me quit. Then I raised the bet slightly and triggered a bonus round that gave a solid payout and really lifted my mood. With the bonuses for Spanish players it was easy to get started, and I’d recommend it if you want a fun way to unwind after creative projects like scrapbooking.
A paper bag scrapbook is such a creative and budget-friendly way to preserve memories while adding a personal touch. You can enhance it further by including themed pockets, tags, and journaling cards for better organization. For those who also enjoy documenting real-life stories or records, resources like Kentucky Arrest Reports can offer structured reference ideas for archival-style layouts. Mixing textures and meaningful inserts really makes the scrapbook more engaging and unique.
This scrapbook idea is really creative and inspiring! For those who want to stay informed about local safety updates, you might also find it useful to check out Tennessee Arrest Records for easy access to recent incidents and law enforcement information in your area.
