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!

Love the Polka Dots on your first bag! They both turned out really cute!
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!!!
Nice job on both of them. Looks like we were thinking alike on the Halloween one!
Two great bags Peggy Sue. Love those impressed / embossed dots on the first bag.
I just love the polka dots idea
Another fan of those polka dots. I love how you colored just a few of them. Great projects!
These bags are so cute! Makes me ready for fall and a nice treat!
That is a great idea! I just may have to do the same thing.
PeggySue both bags are FABULOUS!!!!
Have a GREAT day.. Happy Hopping!
Gorgeous, I'm loving those polka dots on the first one!

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.
The polka dots on the first bag are my favorite! Great job.
What a sweet projects!!
Wow, your projects are stunning! Really beautiful!
Love the embossed look on the first bag, and the colour pop on some of the dots! Super cute!
Great projects, love them both, well done for the embossed effect!
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!
My favorite is the embossed polka dots....that is neat how you colored some of them in!
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!!
love your bags! i like how you colored the dots on the halloween one. i always LOVED when my mom sent care packages/treats when i was in college!
Oh these are so cool, Peggysue! Love how one is elegant and one is spunky and funky...love the dots on that one! And the colors on both are AWESOME!
