Decorative Gift Bag/Card

Yesterday was the strangest day for me.  I'm not accustomed to be alone, but I spent almost the entire day by myself.  I didn't quite know what to do with myself.  I did the dishes and the laundry, and took care of a few other household chores.  And you can only watch SO much television before it gets old.  So, of course I found myself in the craft room creating.  I wasn't really sure what I was going to make, but just started playing around with my supplies.  This is what I came up with.

I used a Middy Bitty Bag from Really Reasonable Ribbon and to that, I added a card (I guess you could say),  The card part was created with some old Pink Paislee patterned paper, a scrap of vintage sheet music, cream seam binding, machine stitching, a vintage button in the center of my bow, a Crate Paper glitter chipboard frame and Crate Paper tassels.  The little sentiment inside the glittered frame is from Crafty Secrets Summertime Vintage Image and Journal Book.  I was really sad to hear that their sweet blog has closed.

I am linking this project in the following challengs I found where it fits the theme:

Cut It Up Challenge Blog - Challenge #87 - New Beginnings/Decorate A Paper Bag - I decorated a Middy Bitty Bag so that I could tuck a gift inside.  The die-cut I used is from Frantic Stamper (the word LOVE at the bottom).

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Simon Says "Something New" - I used my new "love" die-cut and Crate Paper supplies.

Little Scrap Pieces - Saturday Linky Party

I'm so grateful to have you stop by and take a peek at my project.  Thanks for visiting, and have a blessed week.
