The rest of the directions will be given to you at the next blog in the hop...which I will post below...after some photos of  a  new
...Project I have created.
A Sweet Americana Paperbag Mini Album that I created 
using some Fabby Americana Images from 
Gecko Galz and my Silhouette SD!
I used GIMP to alter some of the images (just check the GIMP tab at the top of my blog for tutorials on how to use it).
I created this fun shaped Americana Ornie using two of the Gecko gal images...and a small "air mail stamp" which I got from the
Created these shaped pockets to hold some tags..photo mats and journal cards :-).
Here are two little bookmarks I created.  The little girl and boy images are diecuts I created from Gecko Galz ephemera.
The patterned paper is from My Mind's eye.
This is a shaped Journal spot I created with the die cuts and pp..and on the flip side there is a spot for a photo...
Here is one with the little patriotic boy
The flip side...
Another photo of the inside...
The stamps I used are ones I carved myself.
I just love the vintage feel of this mini album!  I did this..and then found the new Star Spangled Collection from Gecko Galz
so I will be creating some more goodies with these!!
The Patterned Paper was given to me by 
Scraptales one of my Local Scrapbook stores, you can see this mini album there...and then it will go to a good friend of my
Jenn...whose bday is the 4th of July.
Here are the back of the tags
I just inked these on this side..left them as is..and added the little stars and graphic fairy images.
Tags that fit in the shaped eagle pockets...
and the flip sides...
Journal spots..and photo spots....
What fun Americana!!
Finally the back of the book...
I hope you enjoyed my looooong post and that it inspires you to
create some fun Americana Project!!
