pretty & simple

I have this new fascination with making things pretty and recycling things I have

here...I'm NOT totally green but I do my  itty bitty part...so I know this idea goes way

back to my stampin up days...where you decorate a plain gift bag with "schtuff"

so here is my version (and a bit shabby too)

this is a small green striped bag I had laying around here (literally)

and I decided to use some really contrasting paper...

also used some of my punched pieces in some more funky patterned paper

did some stacking & layering on my main piece of CS

added a small sticker so that it can be used for "ANY" occasion

and here it is all done and I used some blue tissue paper for the inside..doesn't it look

great in all it's SHABBY cuteness...love it!

I love having these types of goodies in my stash for those "just in case" gift giving moments.

I am linking this up to the following challenges:

craft your passion (color combo)

the pink elephant - dots & stripes

the shabby tea room - shaped & colors

totally stampalicious - clean & simple

Have a crafty Week.
