Today I have choosen to alter a brown paper lunchbag, making it into a pretty little giftbag. I have been dying (excuse the pun!) to use this die ever since I bought it from Papertrey, Inc.! I can just see a favorite piece of jewelry, some candy, and a giftcard for spa treatment inside, can't you?
The papers that I used are from a pad called Carolina Breeze by Theresa Collins. I love how they coordinate so well together. I first stamped my pathway and carefully lined Tilda up just at the edge of the walkway. These images are new to me and I LOVE THEM!!!! Can you just here my excitement? lol. I broke my foot and have been running around with a HUGE boot on up to my knee this summer. Talk about being hot and awkward so taking the time to create a new project for the inventory challenges has done a great job keeping my mind off of my pain and discomfort. The flowere die is from an old Sizzix die, one of the chuncky ones, with a button center from another die that I found in my stash. I colored her with my Copic markers matching the colors up to the paper that I was using for my bag. I hope you enjoy today's project. Check out Kathy's blog to see what she came up with this week!
