While progress and technology are useful and necessary, sometimes the nostalgic traditions just can’t be beaten by newfangled practices. When it comes to Valentine’s Day, I’m definitely on team vintage Valentine’s. A big part of the nostalgic Valentine’s memories, is the handmade Valentine’s box or bag. The great thing about this simple craft is that you can create either a bag to collect Valentine’s cards or a vintage Valentine’s gift bag. Either way, is a fun craft to do with kids and a great way to stir up those happy nostalgic feelings.

Winne the Pooh Mini Bag and Album Project
Now that the original Winnie the Pooh is in the public domain we’re seeing lots of fun new paper crafting products featuring classic Pooh images like stamps and scrapbooking supplies. These image bring back so much nostalgia and the joy of childhood and are perfect for creating scrapbook projects for babies and children as well as trips to Disney and pages for us “big kids” (i.e. adults) too.
Aline used the Classic Pooh line from Simple Stories to create the most adorable mini album that has a little tote bag to hold it. The bag is decorated with handles, cute Pooh, floral and bees images along with a fun hanging bag charm with a tiny mushroom and tags.
The inside pages are made from 4″ x 6″ pattern paper card bases decorated with lots of Pooh, Piglet and Eeyore papers and embellishments accented with lots of flowers and book quotes too.
Take a look at the entire project and find more details at the Simple Stories blog.
