Paper Dolls Paper Bag Album
I have always loved paper dolls since I was a little girl. I am still fascinated by them! They are inexpensive and so much fun. When my Yahoo Group decided to do a round robin where we pick our own theme for each of our mini scrapbooks this theme was a no brainer! 
I used the larger sized paper bags that measure about 8-1/2" by 7" -- you know like for Chinese take-out or the keep it cold bags at Wal Mart. 
While I really liked the dolls I found on the internet, I wanted to do something to change them up -- so I gave them new faces. Meet Monica and Mariah. I went through my old photos that I wasn't going to scrapbook because they were doubles or whatever and looked for pictures that had the right body proportions. One is a friend from church and the other is my daughter's best friend. 
It will now go on to the other gals in my group who signed up for this swap and they will add their own dolls and fun. It's already a little bit thick so I used one of Teresa Collins' Perfect Closures (inked this time) to hold it all closed. Now I will sit back and wait to see what their themes are and what I will create in their books. If you would like to make your own paper doll paper bag album, you can download the dolls I used here. Just print them out on cardstock, cut them out and have fun. You could put just a few outfits in each pocket page, rather than the whole wardrobe in one pocket as I had to to save room for my friends' work.
