Scripture Bag

Hello friends!  I hope that you're all having a wonderful week so far.  I know that I have had a great week, and I praise God for all the blessings in my life.  Even for the simplest little things in life, I try to be ever grateful because the Lord is just SO GOOD to me.  Week after week, I am so inspired by the many lovely cards and projects you all make and share.  One really cute idea that sparked my interest a few weeks ago was a sweet little bag made by my Kraft Journal Co-Designer, Debbie Marcinkiewicz.  She made a similar bag to this one, and it really inspired me.  I always make sure that when I am using someone else's original idea, that I give them credit for the original design.  And with that said, THANK YOU DEBBIE for inspiring me on this little project.

The bag is actually a Cotton Drawstring Bag from the Kraft Outlet.  I tied some rusty bells to the ends of the strings, and the flower on the front is a Making Memories foam stamp.  I covered the stamp in two shades of pink acrylic paint and added a strip of washi tape to the bottom of the bag.  I adhered my scripture tag using Pink Baker's Twine and a Maya Road leaf stick pin.  I put some little candies in the bag.  It's really a simple project, and these cute little Cotton Drawstring Bags cost just $0.35 each.  That makes em' even cuter!!!   The Kraft Outlet has LOTS of great bargains and a wide variety of gorgeous goodies.  Treat yourself today, or stop by and play along in our "Tag Challenge" this week for a chance to win a $15 gift certificate.

I'm sharing my little Scripture Bag in the following:

City Crafter Challenge Blog - Challenge #203 - Spring In The Garden - I was inspired by the beautiful inspiration photo - the lovely flowers (my stamped image and the floral washi tape) and the leaves (my green leaf stick pin).  BEAUTIFUL inspiration photo to welcome Spring!

You are all welcome to stop by Word Art Wednesday and pick up this beautiful piece of scripture/word art and play along in our challenge this week.  And if you use scripture on your project, you can also enter it in the Faith, Hope and Love challenge I mentioned above.  It's always a great time to create a project using God's precious Word!

Thanks for stopping by, and have a blessed week!
