So this little bag has been all over the internet, it makes an old girl proud ya'll liked it so much. Heck, it even won a contest at Stampin' Up!, unfortunately for me someone else sent it in...ha! I played around with some new paper, and made a couple new ones. I also made a shabby chic feminine one but I submitted that to a magazine, so I don't want to put that on here....just in case.
But these two turned out so cute, and with Halloween just around the corner, you have time to make a couple. This bag is the regular size that I did on the original Box in a Bag Tutorial although now with our handy dandy scallop punch I used it instead of the slit punch.
But for this taller bag I just increased the Designer Paper to 9" tall instead.
But the rest is the same as the tutorial.
I am so loving the Ghostly Greetings Designer Series Paper.
So I have the TV on in the background and the show "Wife Swap" is on, and I am thinking...where do they find these freaks? I thought I was a freak, there is a lady on there that all she does is scream...OMG!
I am posting Saturdays post a little early tonight (I do my posts at night for the next day) so I can get some work done. Oh speaking of posts, I had someone un-subscribe today, their reason was cause I have too many updates...I thought hmmmm....posting once a day is too many updates? If anyone else feels that way, let me know....I can totally only post once a week, if you're sick of listening to me!
Also if you want to be added to my email list, for monthly samples etc. Please send me your email address so I can add you. I hate to assume since you sign up for my blog that you want a newsletter too, so I have not added you to my email list. (unless you asked me already).
Thanks for stopping in!
Hugs, Di
Very cute box. I wondered who came up with this idea. I made a few of these myself if you want to check them out. I really love it. Thanks for the cute idea.
