The Doggy Bag.........

This is challenge #3 at LESSology. 

Get creative with the Brown Paper bag!
The only Brown paper bags I had were these lunch bags...........I found this old stamp exchange book at an OP shop. For my recycled item I cut a recipe from it .


After throwing quite a few bags away.......this is what I came up with!


I baked all the cookies, filled the bag and added the recipe to the front. I thought this would make a yummy gift!


The lace is also recycled from some clothing. More Hearts....... that's no surprise!


I cut the white flap from Elegant Edges using the Book feature, added a little stitching, stuck it to the back of the bag with double sided tape. I embossed the bag, then inked it .
I made the pink frill at the bottom with crepe paper.
Who knew that the simple lunch bag could look this pretty!

Thank you so much for another great challenge......they are so much fun.
