Paper Bag Scrap Book

My fabulous upline Heather Summers gave us two brown lunch bags at our last meeting and said, "Here is your challenge". Decorate it.

I have to admit, I put it aside and forgot about it...until last night.

I have not put any photos on or journalling as I thought this would make an adorable little gift for someone this Christmas.
I used the Christmas Cocoa Specialty DSP as well as cardstock in Chocolate Chip, Real Red, Old Olive, Kraft, Soft Suede, Confetti White and Sahara Sand. I embellished with ribbon hardware, brads and punches.
There are two pouches which I have inserted journal tags or you could attach a photo.

You could easily make your brown bag scrapbook fuller by adding an extra bag or two.

I was pleased with how it turned out and I hope you like it too.

Thanks for dropping by and have a great weekend.

This is another birthday card I made with the students on Monday. I think the fabulous spring weather we were having brought out the bold brights and makes me smile.
My biggest fear is forgetting something at home that I need to make the card as planned. Guess what? I forgot the small and large wheel I had planned on using for the orange and turquoise on this card. My plan was to teach the students how to use the wheel using the same colour ink as the cardstock but the card turned out fine anyways.
In hind sight everything worked out becasue this gave a more relaxed lunch for the students. I have to remember to make the cards clean and simple as they do have to eat their lunch in ten minutes and then have 40 minutes to stamp two cards.
The kids were happy wioth their cards anyways and that is what counts.
