Product Shuffle : Gift Bag

Good morning!

Whenever I receive a gift in a gift bag, I always save the bag in hopes that I can reuse it someday.  I have lots of pink princess ones at the moment since my daughter just had her birthday.  I was looking through my stash yesterday to find one to give to a friend of mine but could not find a suitable one. So I dedided to make one, well modify one....

This is the bag I had.  It did not seem right since the gift was not wine.
So I started bu cutting the bag to 12 inches high so I could use one piece of paper to cover it.  Once I had the pieces of paper the righ size, I scored them, using the bag as a guide.
I then glued the paper onto the bag and added some Prima flowers and butterflies.  I also added a gift tag by fussy cutting one of the pattern paper in my scrap pile.
I also added some pretty ribbon I found lying aroud
Now the gift bag if all ready to meet the birthday girl. So much nicer than what it used to look like
I hope she likes it and I hope you like it too!
Have a great day!

Sisters

Sisters by Brittney Aldous

Here's my last post using Cosmo Cricket's UpCycle. I've had such a blast with this collection, and I know I'll be digging back into these goodies soon!

For this layout I wanted to use the scraps that were left over from my other two layouts. Since upcycling is the process of converting waste materials into something useful, I found this very fitting!

Ladies Night

Ladies Night by Brittney Aldous

It's time for another layout using the uber fabulous UpCycle! Seriously, if you're looking for a collection that is bold, girly and a bit retro, you need to get your hands on this! One thing that I absolutely love about this collection are the matching embellishments. The butterflies & doilies, as well as the package of buttons make it super easy to add that little extra to your page - no need for digging through jars of buttons and getting those punches out! Everything just works so perfectly!

I did a bit of misting on this page, which warped my paper a bit, so don't mind the lumps and bumps (I'm still trying to flatten it out, LOL).
