A couple of quick gift bags

Hey everyone!

I seem to be on a little burn out the last couple days so I haven't done much in my scrap space.  I think I need to go do some challenges to get myself going.  They are always such good motivators for me.            

I did make a couple of quick gift bags.  These are just the plain ones like the baby gift bag I posted a week or two back.  At work we celebrate all the birthdays for the month in my department at once and have lunch and gifts.  So I made these up for the 2 birthdays in September.....

Super simple.  On the yellow one the patterned paper is from American Crafts Celebration line.  I took a scalloped square from Accents Essentials and manipulated it in Design Studio to make a rectangle 8.25x5.5 inches.  The other one... not sure, just a random piece of paper in my stash.  That rectangle is 8.25x6 inches.  I cut both of the presents at 3 inches from Celebrate With Flourish Lite Cartridge.

Who was on Momo's UStream last night?  I have so much fun chatting with everyone!   (I'm Amanda711 on there, btw.)  Last night was great because it was all about embossing and I'm such a stamping novice I really learned a lot.  The chatting is just an added bonus. :)

Thanks for stopping by today.  :)  

Cheers

Inspired

I was inspired by Crafting With Cristina for this next card.  Her card is insanely cute and so much better than this card.  I'm not thrilled with this at all.  I just noticed that my ribbon ends are frayed... grrr!  I need go back and fix that up.

Standard card.  The patterned paper is old KI Memories (KI Memories, the old stuff, is absolutely some of my favorite paper EVER, no one does stripes like they do.  LOVE it!).  The scalloped squares are from Accent Essentials.  The flowers were cut from Forever Young, all scraps.  Does anyone else get a thrill from using up scraps?  :)  The stamps were Michael's dollar bin from a few years back.

Thanks for taking a look.  I've got a few things to post up tomorrow and a lot of ideas.

Cheers,
-Amanda
