We have a fun, fun challenge going on over at the Flourishes Timeless Challenge ~ FTTC123. Betty is our host this week and she is challenging us to think *INSIDE THE BAG* or should I say *outside the Bag*....LOL?!? Use brown grocery bag paper on your card or project. You can use a brown lunch bag to create a gift item or small scrapbook album. Or, you can create a background, border, or accent piece for your card or project. If you don't have any brown grocery bag paper to play with, Kraft CS will work, too! We want everyone who wants to play along to be able to play with us! Have fun and we can't wait to see what you create!!!
Here is my idea.....
I went with a fun little brown paper gift bag I found at Hobby Lobby. I opted to decorate it and add dress it up with a *tag*. The stamp set I used today is from the Country Charm Labels. This set has really become one of my fav's lately...and if you stay tuned you will have the chance to win it today!!!! The sentiment is from another the beautiful set that I adore Wedded Bliss! You will have the chance to win this one too... :) !!!
My bag came together quickly by adding some Cotton Trim, Satin Ribbon, a PTI tag die, some Pearl/Rhinestone Flourish, Halfback Pearls, matching Button & Scrap Floss....voila! The fabbo colors were inspired by this weeks CR84FN32 Challenge.
Now onto the fun part....leave me a comment and you are automatically entered into wining the Country Charm Labels and Wedded Bliss Set. I will announce the winner with next weeks post!!!!
Please make sure to stop by my team mates to see their fabulous ideas on this weeks challenge ~ Cindy, Maki, Betty, Heather and Tammy. Don't forget our Guest Designer Pat Adams!!!
Thank you for taking the time to swing by...see you next week! I'm taking a little stampin' break :) !!!
Hugs, ~Silke~
