Box in a Bag

This cute little bag has been making its appearance on many a blog, so when I saw it again on Renee's, I decided to finally give it a try!  Her posting is from July 9 and she also has a link to a tutorial.  I found mine at Diana Gibbs' blog, so that is the one I used.  I realized when I made my first one, I used exactly the same paper as hers!!  So I kind of threw another one together today; this is  a little shorter in height because I used a scrap piece of DP that I had in my stash.  I did not scallop the bottom edge, but stamped some of the elements from Wanted, added some ribbon & buckle from HPH, and tied it with the same ribbon.  (In this light, I guess that ribbon doesn't match very well!  Oh well!)  I did not add any embellishments to the front of the bag since the DP's design was centered so nicely!  Gee, how did that happen?  I can see where there could be lots & lots of possibilities for these little bags!  This one will be a door prize at my upcoming Retirement Stampin'Up!  party!  I guess I should put something inside though! LOL!  My next one will be a little more embellished--that is the fun part, don't you think!?  It is quite easy, why don't you give it a try?  Thanks for visiting....remember that tomorrow is COLOR THROWDOWN CHALLENGE Wednesday!  Stop back!
