Party Time! - Ladybug Bags

So my niece just celebrated her 1st Birthday, you know what that means...it's time to PARTY & decorate. Four months ago my sister told me she chose a ladybug themed party and I was bestowed the title of Chief Decorator.

Here is the gift bag all the little kiddos went home with containing a book, a toy, & snack.  I folded down the top of the sack and punched 2 holes in the center.  Then I cut a bit of black cardstock and secured them together with white curly ribbon. Therefore, they were safe for little ones. The final finishing touch was simply tying on a thank you tag and curling the ribbons. They looked adorable sitting on the table by the door and were so convenient to hand out when the guests left. Even better they served a dual purpose: a party decoration and a thank you gift for guests.  Success!

My little kids gift bag is submitted in the challenges at...

Halloween Gift Bag - Sin City Stamps

Even without any Halloween Stamp Sets, I was still able to create this spooky gift bag.  Using texture stamps, lines of text, & vintage keys I created this creepy background. Look at your stamps beyond their obvious uses and you may be surprised at how creative you can become.
