Papertrey Ink August Blog Hop


Whew! Cannot believe another month has gone by! However I CAN believe school finally started today because this was the first day of a quiet house since the beginning of May.

I must admit, I don't often play with brown paper bags, the theme for this month's Papertrey Ink blog hop and now, I was wishing I had the leaf dies, BUT I am looking forward to seeing all the lovely creations on the hop.

Briefly, I made one bag for Halloween that I will duplicate and send to my kids in college in October, a little treat bag. Because kids of all ages like treats! And then I thought the new guidelines impression plate and guidelines stamps could make a nice picnic bag. I decorated it with one of the flowers from Autumn Abundance and sans leaves, put a few squares from the quilt set at the bottom.

Thanks for looking! Have a great hop!




Halloween Treat Bag:

Cuttlebug folder 'Seeing Spots'

Such cute decorative 'lunch bags'! Fabulous idea to use the impression plate. Love the polka dots with the random coloring of some.

Super fun and I KNOW that will be a well received treat .... are you going to put some tricks in there too?? The Vintage Picnic is perfect too because of the whole paper bag thing ...... great idea!!!

Love the Polka dot bag, especially the colored polka dots add a great interest to it. You must have a great deal of patience to use the giga guidelines stamp on the paper bag. Well done! Love them both.

Peggy Sue these are so pretty! I love the embossed polka dots on the first and all of the stamping on the second is amazing! You did a great job on these!

Amy Kolling said...

My favorite is the embossed polka dots....that is neat how you colored some of them in!

Linda said...

Both are fabulous, but there's something special about that first one. I think it's the embossed dots and how you colored just a few, here and there. I know your college students will love them. I don't know why that group always seems to be treat deprived. I think they just love something from home!!
