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

PBA ='s paper bag album. They are soooo soooo fun. Post here if you are interested and I will RAK everyone who is interested a naked PBA!! Gotta give me time to get the PBA's so let's say this challenge needs to be done by May 20th. So yeah, you are thinking, girl are you crazy, what's with this random date??? LOL, we are leaving to go traveling about May 22nd so want to close it up before then. My RAK offer closes on April 7th so let me know who wants in!!

So now if you are interested, I think the best PBA's are made with a theme in mind, so start collecting your pps, pictures etc. Consider doing a vintage PBA, They are so awesome!! Go check out this link, her work is awesome. Take a look at this one, she makes some incredible PBA's!!

Come play with me!! If you've never done a PBA, now is the time , we can learn together, I've only ever done one myself. We will have sooooo much fun!!

I would love to try it out! Those ones you posted are gorgeous!

I would love to do a vintage type one, with just some vintage clipart I have.

Would it be too much trouble to send to Oz? I dont want to put you out.

Would love to send you one AnnMaree. Just hope it doesn't take forever to get it to you!! I have to order them too, want to see how many want to play with us before I order.

I always wanted to make one but you don't get these kind of bags down here, if you do choose me i would love to create one about teddy bears!

Why not? xD

Oh I think a teddy bear PBA would be so awesome!! Wonder how long it will take to get PBA's to Australia and New Zealand!!

Awesome idea!!! I have 2 pba's ready to go. So you wouldn't have to get one for me. But I'll make one when everyone else does!!!

I'm so in for this! Thanks

Depends, i had a camera come from canada to NZ in less than four days! [a very nice rak a few years ago!]

I would love to try this Maggi! Count me in please!!! How totally exciting!!!

Oh and BTW, the PBA's will be approx. 6 x 6 so keep that in mind as you are gathering. I want to do one on girlfriends in a vintage style. I'm on the lookout for vintage images of girlfriends, any age. LMK if you come across something. I think I am going to make about 5 PBAs if I don't bore myself with them for my HS friends that I eat lunch with on Thursdays.

You got it Lynn!

Yippee, I am so excited about doing this that I went ahead and ordered the PBA's so I can get them off down-under!! Hopefully they will arrive at my house this week, they only have to come from Pennsylvania and then I will get them out to you ASAP. It is the tail end of my tax season so do be patient!! It will be over April 15th though!!

How???

Well that is intriguing Evinta, what do you do to them? I'll have to see if I can get a group shot of all of us. That woudl be fun. I know how to make them sepia but that's about all I can do.

I make them sepia then i add some "distressing" it can be done via digital files, i have photoshop CS3.

Oh man..... I so need to get ps...... I only have a stupid little program that came with my pc. Crop and brighten are the only things it does.

I strongly recommend PSE for you then, its cheaper and more simpler. Its because i want a career in digital design that i have CS3.

Oh Bry i need lesson from you hun, I have Photoshop CS3 as well, but can't make head nor tails of the thing!!!

Sure, when my laptop is repaired and all i'll give you lessons over MSN.

I am in if it isn't too late!
You gals are getting me all excited about making this! I may even challenge myself and do a vintage on just for me! Maggi, I love the idea of you doing one for all your friends, a lot of work, but I am sure they will love it!

Yay Helen!! Glad to have you!

We've got 4 spots left!!
