Happy Sunday, peeps! Just a quick little post today; I always exchange gifts with a friend from church; she is like a mom to me, and although our gifts are very inexpensive (yard sale or thrift store finds!) they mean a lot to me! The Just Add Ink challenge is "Anything but a Card" so it was a perfect opportunity to create a little gift bag for my present to her:
After a few false starts with the measurements, I finally got it right:
The final measurements of the bag are 3 3/4" high, 3" wide and 2" deep. The bottom is 1" across. My friend has several cats and dog-sits her daughter's dog every day, so I thought the cute retired Sweet Stockings DSP would be a good decoration! I stamped a sentiment from Christmas Scottie and diecut it with a Tailor Made Tags die, then tied it with some Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine to the Mossy Meadow Baker's Twine bag handles!
I am also entering this at the Double D Challenge this month, which is Christmas stockings!;
And do you want to see what I tucked inside the bag? Here we go:
Isn't he a cutie? A bargain from Goodwill! Thanks for visiting today--enjoy it and be blessed!

ReplyDeleteSuper cute LeAnne! I’m sure your friend will love her gift and handmade bag. Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink and Merry Christmas to you and the family. xx
ReplyDeleteYour gift bag is super cute LeAnne, as is your heartfelt gift! I have a friend that I exchange second hand and thrift store finds with. I actually like that better than buying and receiving something new. Thanks so much for linking up with DD Challenges. You have a blessed day and Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteAdorable bag!
