Oh what a fun share for you today. I am combining lots of things.
First off, I’ve been trying to tidy up the stamp room a bit. Never ending job, right?
I ran across several past Paper Pumpkin kits I have. I got distracted, so, on a quest I went.
I found this fabulous tutorial on how to resize the bags from the In the Bag kit earlier in the year. Only I read the directions wrong and ended up with 2 different sized bags. But, it SO worked. They are adorbs!!
Next, I wanted to decorate these bags, but how? Ahhh, my trusty Card Challenge pin board of course!!
I started with a color challenge from Color Throwdown. Since my bags were Crumb Cake or kraft in color, this was an excellent choice to go with. Color Throwdown, ctd312, paired these colors together –
Love them. The colors looked Halloween to me. I went with a Halloween theme challenge from The Paper Players.
And, lastly, I went to My Pumpkin Challenge. Theme there, Sweet & Treats!
Perfect! I used two different kits in my creation and I made treat holders. The anticipation is killing you, right?
Here is what I did –
Just adorable, right?
I know I am in LOVE with these little bags!! I used several different current products here. And, three challenges – it worked so well together.
I should have taken before pictures of my little naked bags, but I was too excited to decorate them.
A few more shots –
And, the tall bag –
Now to figure out who will get these??
I’d love to hear what you think! Comments make people happy!!
Happy Stampin’
