TRD- altered food gift bag

for my project this month ive altered a food gift bag,

using Tsunami Rose Designs newest digital journal kit....Charmed Fragments.

i used 2 pages from the the journal kit for the front and the back,

to decorate a food grade gift bag. 

i used 1 sentiment on the front, cut from the sentiment element sheet.

i used a tiny trim to border the top and bottom of the sentiment.

i also included 2 cream colored buttons a big blue flower w/ a stick pin in it. 

sides i left plain.

the back.

i plan on using this lil gift bag to deliver some homemade cookies or cake pops to a dear friend this Christmas.

TFL.

my 1st Project Life Swap cards !

hi all.

so i have decided to try this whole Project Life thing...

i have gotten the page protectors, the albums, and 

even a Core Kit.

have i started, nope. not yet.

i need to print photos and get cracking, these albums won't fill

themselves.

i also joined a few FB groups for inspiration and swaps.

i joined my 1st swap this past month, and have just mailed out

my handmade PL cards :)

the 1st grp is "vintage tea"

i LOVE tea and have a few tea theme pics to

do, so this swap was perfect.

these are 4x6 cards, rounded. the paper is from

Recollects, and is glittered.

they have a paper doily on one side, 

w/a teapot stamped and popped up, 

and some bling. the TEA is a

foam alpha sticker.

on the back i used a white mini bag stamped w/

an image and inside is my card.

the 2nd grp is "fairies"

i don't really have pics for these.....but i love fairies, so 

i was in, lol.

these are 4x6, rounded as well.

the paper is Graphic 45 Once Upon a SpringTime...

one of my faves.

the die cut was done using the Stampin Up Top Note Bigz Die

which has the stitching around the border, which i LOVE.

the fairy was fussy cut from the paper as well.

i then just stamped a nice quote, and added some bling.

the back is the same as the 1st card.

white mini bag w/ my card.

TFL.
