Description:
The theme for this book is TWILIGHT. It can be any team, character, family, group, movie, book that you want- the only requirement is QUALITY. Send something that you would love to receive. Please have a minimum of 8 pages. You can bind your book with ribbon, brads, you can sew it, etc. Just make sure the end result looks nice :) I'm giving a month to send this out so that we have time to put in some time and effort with this. Here is a great tutorial: http://scrapbooking.about.com/library/weekly/blpaperbagscrapbooks.htm If you need more help you can google paper bag books for more ideas and help! The book is senders choice for theme, but sometimes it helps to have a well filled out profile in case the sender wants to personalize it to you.

I am Team Jacob, so I love recieving Jacob themed stuff, but I also LOVE Edward & Bella... And I definelty love the rest of the cast as well!

Are there any size requirements? Paper bags come in a variety of sizes. I'm a Team Jacob fan as well, but I also really like Alice and Jasper. I'll sign up once I've finished my other commitments. Hopefully, they'll go in the mail this week.

Celticblue- For these I am thinking of the brown lunch bags- the ones I have are 51/2" x 10" apprx.

If anyone needs some, PM me and I can send some out to you :)

Just finished my paper bag book and what fun it was to make! I've never done one before, but I hope to get a chance to do more in the future. I did learn a lot about putting it together and I'll admit, I started mine as soon as I signed up. Actually, I started some...not all worked out so good. I do think that sewing the spine together works the best, or maybe I just haven't found the right glue or tape, but I had problems with getting them to stick together but sewing seems to be the way to go, at least for me. Anyone have a good glue or tape suggestion?
