Bagging It Times Two!

Decorating paper bags for gift giving is one of my favorite 

ways to present a gift.  You can decorate the bag just like 

you would a card, in the style of the person you are giving the gift.

Lily went to a birthday party this weekend for two dear friends.

They just happen to be twins.

Twins with two completely different looks, styles, and personalities.

I kept that in mind when decorating their gift bags.

Bri's gift bag is streamlined with summery colors & a matching layered flower.

Fundraising!

We are knee deep in baseball fundraising for spring and summer tournaments!  This past weekend we had a raffle drawing for lots of fantastic prizes!  I decided to use some SSM papers in my Silhouette Cameo to make goodie bags - SSM's papers worked like a charm in the Cameo and it was even better that they were double sided!

Products used:

Name of the Game - Baseballs paper #1255

Thanks for stoppin' by!

Wrap it up!

I love to decorate plain colored paper bags for gift giving.  Having enough scraps to decorate a bag to match the card I am giving is even better!  The bag and card below were made for a co-worker's baby shower.  She just had her baby boy last week.  

Baby showers are always an excuse for me to give away my favorite gifts...books. A few of our family favorites were tucked inside the bag.  The altered tag on the bag doubles as a bookmark.    

I punched the yellow laced trim out of the Tennis (#1381) paper from the Title Sports line.  You would not believe how nicely it punches! 

I am very much loving the contrast of the blue starred Gymnastics (#1374) papers and the yellow striped Tennis (#1381) paper from the Title Sports line.  They compliment eachother so well and are so boyish together.
