I’m so excited to finally say that everything I wanted to do for LJ’s first birthday (6 months ago) is finished!
party…….CHECK
all out mod monkey madness…..CHECK
scrapbook…….CHECK
memory bag……CHECK
As many of you will be pleased to know, I finally busted open the sewing machine for this one! I know, I know….it’s been sitting around waiting to be opened for weeks, but I did it ok!
It’s just a simple envelope pouch, but it’s perfect to store all of his 1st birthday fun!
Scrapbook, cards, candybar wrappers, t-shirt, and cupcake toppers!
I even attempted a little decorative stitching on the envelope flap. Not the straightest stitching I’ve ever seen…but not bad for my first sewing project completely on my own!
Want to make one of your own?
Well, now you can!
I had so much fun writing the final chapter of this birthday extravaganza, I figured I would share my templates for the money face and circles!

It is sized to be a 7 inch circle, you may need to adjust depending on how big you want your bag. Mine is 13×13 (ish) so it can hold my 8×8 scrapbook and all the party gear!
I hope you have as much fun making this as I did!
