I was sent the Medley Kit to create with, which was perfect to get some of my photos from 2004, 2006, and 2012 scrapped:

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

Basket Full of Cuteness

Hello there!

It is Tuesday and time for Ten Things... at 

Practical Scrappers

This week the design team was challenged to create projects using BAGS!

For my project I mounted my photo on a 4.25"x 5.5" Kraft Bag, inserted a tag and a cardstock sticker journaling card inside of the bag.  I also folded down the the top half of a smaller kraft bag and placed over the edge of the top of my page, inserted a tag and created an embellishment cluster using a deccorative brad, twine and a layered sticker.   

This layout was also inspired by the following challenges:

"All About Our Guys Challenge" at Scrap Our Stash 

"Use Your Dies" Challenge at Scrap it Girl   

(Triangles & Tags cut with my Cricut)

"Anything Goes" ~ Sketches4All

The design of my layout was inspired by the May 23 sketch below from Elle's Studio:

Check out the Practical Scrappers blog and see how the design team came up with various ways to use bags.
