Papertrey Ink Blog Hop - December 2011


Your challenge is to use some type of leftover materials to create a project. And if you really want to challenge yourself even further, you can try to create a non-holiday card from your leftovers.

I made quite a few gift bags using the edgers #3 die, so I had some leftovers from those. I then cut out the crown image from one of our Christmas cards to use on my project.

We have quite a few family birthdays coming up soon so I now have a gift bag to use for one of those.

    Love this bag! Im so happy to see you make this without front and center. I was wondering how it was done, using edgers die. TFS

    Hi, Lee! Love how you made the gift bag without the use of the Front & Center die... very inventive! Of course, I would never have thought of that so I had to buy the die. :) Thanks for your faithful visits to my blog!
