Sixties Paper Sack Scrapbook
This past summer our family went on a mini vacation to San Francisco. While wandering around the Haight-Ashbury district I realized I just had to make a paper sack scrapbook with a sixties theme! 
To make the tye-dye paper background I used a newsprint (absorbent) paper. It was actually packing paper from one of my scrapbooking packages. I folded the paper every which way with lots of different folds. I then put food coloring and water in bowls (one color per bowl). I dipped a corner of the newsprint paper into a bowl of food coloring and held it there for awhile. I then dipped the other corners in the other colors. Tip: Use a little water to several drops of food coloring and hold your corners in each color for several minutes to get more vibrant colors. Open newsprint and allow to dry thoroughly before using. Cut it to the size of the pages in your paper bag book! 
I got most of my clip art from Internet searches, mostly Google Image searches. Put in words like "farout" and "groovy" et cetera.
