*home for the holidays* OOAK Handmade Vintage Christmas Paper Bag Album

This handmade Christmas paper bag album would be ideal for those of you spending the holiday season at home this Christmas and wish to scrapbook the season in style. Or maybe you wish to record a previous Christmastime at home.

The album measures:

• Cover: 6.25" x 12" (16 x 30cm)
• Paper Bag Pages: 5.9" x 11.9" (14.7 x 30.2cm)
• Inserts to paper bags: 5.25" x 10" (13.3 x 25.4cm)
  

Format of the album:

• The album is in a vertical format with front and back chipboard covers and contains 4 decorated paper bags. 

• Each paper bag has one machine stitched letter in the bottom right hand corner, which when taken as a whole spells out the word *home*.

• Each paper bag has two pull out inserts, the front of which are decorated with patterned papers and the backs are plain textured bazzill cardstock. The plain back allows you to write down your memories if you desire to. Each insert has  piece of lace attached so that you can pull it out from the bag easily.
  

• The album is ideal for adding both portrait and landscape photos and the inserts have been deliberately left undecorated so that you can add larger sized photos or other memorabilia.

• Due to the expanding nature of the paper bags, there is plenty of room for storing extra memorabilia inside the bags and each one comes with its own fastening so that nothing should fall out!
