Gift Bags


I made these two gift bags and filled with chocolate to go with the thank you cards I posted yesterday.  I found this wonderful mini bag tutorial on Silvey's Craftroom blog.  This bag comes together so easily and no cutting is involved.....just scoring and folding then decorating.   I have used my new Floral District Design paper from Stampin up to embellish the outside of these bags.  I didn't add any flower embellishments as I think just the papers may have been a tad on the girly side for the recipients. 


The inside of the bag.  My friend Helen found on the internet at some stage these wonderful magnet clasps which are intended for real bags.  Helen kindly gave me a couple and I was keen to put them to use.  They were perfect for this bag and kept it closed tightly.


I so have to work on allowing time for better photos.  These bags look so much better in real life.

Well Friday has arrived although I felt like it was Friday all day yesterday.  I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.  I have a few plans and one is to help Helen celebrate her birthday with a few other friends.....so it will be a good time.  I will get in early......Happy Birthday Helen. :-)
