So...who is interested in making a PBA for a challenge?

If there is still time..I would like to be counted in Maggie...If not maybe the next one.TY

Thanks Maggi! I am so looking forward to this challenge!

You're in!

Ok, you are going to need a fair amount of pps for this as there will be 12 6 x 6 pages and then you'll want to make lots of tags etc to tuck into the PBA openings. This is a time to go wild, lots of flowers, laces, whatever strikes your fancy! I love the looks where they are just crammed full with stuff just hanging off the pages. That's hard for me to do, have to admit, I guess I'm a color inside the lines kind of gal! LOL! I am excited that we will have so many different PBA's to look at!!

I'm thinking mine might be a dog themed PBA, vintage style. Can't make up my mind though, how typical!!

OK... I just loved throught the links you gave us, and yours too!, and wow.... am I ever challenged on this one! But it will be a blast... already getting ideas to. Might need more retail therapy for this! LOL!!!

Yeah, those gals do some incredible vintage PBA's!! I just got a new line of BasicGrey, Max and Whiskers, it is adorable for cats and dogs LOs so I am torn as to whether to use that or do somethingelse. I don't think Max and Whiskers lends itself to vintage style and I'm kind of stuck on doing something vintagy!!

Oh yeah, retail therapy is good!!

Hey gals, what are thinking for a theme?

Maggi I would love to do a vintage "PBA" is it to late?

I would love to join this as well!!

I am a little unclear though (go figure - lol)

1. I have brown paper bags already - do i just make one album? or am I making 10 for a swap and get 10 back?

2. am i supposed to mail to you and then you send them out? so dbl postage?


3. do we all have to do vintage or can somedone do a birthday one, girl, boy, autographs, zoo...?

4. how many paper bags are we supposed to use - stack 4 - one on top of each other?

5. when making these - don't we leave spaces so we can add our own photo's? and the tags could be used for journalling?


Thanks for doing this Maggi - uber excited - love the links you sent us too.... maybe this is something that will clear off the other mess spread all over... fun, fun, fun!!

LOL LInda!!

I will send you as a RAK a plain PBA unless you want to make your own!! it will be 3 paperbags sewn together and hole punched which ='s 12 pages front and back. Each page will be about 6x6.

You will make yourself a PBA, any theme you want, any way you want.

The challenge is to simply make a PBA for yourself. Inserts into the paperbag sleeves can be for whatever you want!!

So I will sign you up and you to Sonya!

Oh, what the heck, I'll do it! It's not like I'm going to get any busier or anything - LOL!

So here's a little poll for today -

1. Have you ever made a PBA?

2. What theme are you thinking about?

3. Are you going to use matched pps?

4. Are you going to use ribbons and laces?

5. Do you plan to shop for supplies for this and if so, what?

6. Are you going to make it for yourself or someone else?

1. Have you ever made a PBA? Yes, I made only one.

2. What theme are you thinking about? Either dogs or girlfriends, can't make up my mind.

3. Are you going to use matched pps? Mostly yes, at least I think so! LOL! Thinking about using G45 if I do girlfriends. Not sure what I'll use if I do dogs.

4. Are you going to use ribbons and laces? Oh probably, I love them so!

5. Do you plan to shop for supplies for this and if so, what? Can't think of anything I need but I'll probalby shop anyway!!

2. What theme are you thinking about? Vintage/Victorian using Clipart images and scans I have here from my own collection

4. Are you going to use ribbons and laces? Definitely

1. Have you ever made a PBA? No never....

2. What theme are you thinking about? I'm thinking vintage (of course)

6. Are you going to make it for yourself or someone else? I think I am going to make this for a dear friend who is going through a terrible messy separation right now!

What G45 pp did you get? Love that stuff!!

Does anyone know where in the world I can get G45 paper??? I can't get it here at all! And OMG, I soooooo want some!! I love their papers!

I'm in!! This sounds like fun! I haven't made a PBA in three years. I think I have one in my stash!

Oh good Tanya, the more the merrier!

1. Have you ever made a PBA? Nope, I tried putting the album together once and got frustrated and stopped.

2. What theme are you thinking about? Probably pictures of my kids

3. Are you going to use matched pps? Not sure. It will depend on my mood that day :-)

4. Are you going to use ribbons and laces? Probably ribbon because my son will be in them so no lace.

5. Do you plan to shop for supplies for this and if so, what? I will try to use up some of my stash since I will be printing pics

6. Are you going to make it for yourself or someone else? Now that I think about it, it would be a good gift for my mom. She would love a pba about her grandkids!

Maggi, I got some of the Commuique Collection, some of the Romantique Collection,A Paper Gentleman Collection, and a couple Fashionista Collection! LOVE it!
Also got 8 sheets from the Avignon Collection from 7 gypsies! LOVE it too!

Lynn.... I had a heck of a time finding it around here, but finally found a store in Brantford, The Learning Centre" that had some! I would try on line. Check their website and they may have a section that says who sells... I think there is a place in Edmonton that does!! Hope this helps.

That's kind of what I have too Helen, I have a paper apd of the Romantique and odds and ends collected of the others. Also have some Domestic Goddess which I think I might like best of all or maybe Fashionista, or maybe...LOL!! Hard to pick a fave!

thanks Maggi on answering me... couldn't understand why you were sending the PBA's... that's cool though now... How can you tell I was alwys in Swaps!! fun, fun, fun...

so we have to have our album done and completed - ready to upload only - on the 20th? my only thing is that i will not be back by then. Probably not back up and running until the 23rd or so.... i would love to say i will get it down before - will try....

1. Have you ever made a PBA? Yes - fun

2. What theme are you thinking about? hmmm not sure yet, whatever theme comes to me while creating - lol

3. Are you going to use matched pps? never know - i at least have one color throughout!

4. Are you going to use ribbons and laces? uh,,, YES

5. Do you plan to shop for supplies for this and if so, what? no, only because there is no shopping around here - would be nice if some of my parcels of goodies i ordered would arrive - but honestly i have tons of stuff that needs to be used!

6. Are you going to make it for yourself or someone else? i am probably going to keep for myself... who knows though - my mind changes like the weather!
