"Family" Mini for SIL

I never imagined when I married my husband that I would acquire such loving, caring in-laws. Each one of them are very special to me and I am so blessed to have them in my life. 

I wanted to show my sister in law just how much I treasured our bond that we immediately had once we met and how much I truly enjoyed having her as a "sister". I made her a scrapbook mini out of paper bags. Just regular, plain jane, paper bags you can buy at Wal-Mart to put your children's lunches in. When I first seen a tutorial online about using paper bags as pages...I was like NO WAY! I couldn't grasp how in the world it was possible. Well, turns out it's very possible. So, I had to rush to the store, buy me some paper bags and get started on this immediately!

I used Colorbok's Anthology paper, Walnut distress ink by Tim Holtz, paper bags, glitter (lots of glitter!), buttons, Scrabble Tiles, Jolee's Boutique butterflies & gears embellishments, green & brown ribbon and green liquid pearl. All the sunflowers I made by hand (from tutorials on YouTube). The fonts used are from the "Type Candy" Cricut Cartridge. The saying on the front - "Where Life begins and lover never ends. Family" I found free on the internet. Most, if not all, of the techniques I used in this book are from tutorials that can be found on YouTube.
