Sometimes when I’m out shopping I come across little bags and think I have to have those because they would be cute for something.  I don’t know exactly what I’m going to do with them but figure at some point in time I will find a good use for them.  A few months back I found these little silver mini bags and bought a stack of them.,  I ended up using them for my Demo Getaway Retreat at the end of July.

I decided to use the new In-Colors to decorate them.  I used the 1/2″ Finely Woven Ribbon and tied it in a bow around the handle.  Then made a tag in the same color to hang on the handle.

I used two new punches – Starbust punch and the Pretty Label punch.  I stamped on the Pretty Label – “we are cut out to be friends” – from the stamp set Crafting Forever.  I also stamped the paper snips on Smoky Slate card stock and cut those out to add on the tag.  I finished each tag with a little silver enamel heart and tied it on the bag with Whisper White Baker’s Twine.  I thought they turned out so cute.

Inside each bag was a ruler, a pencil sharpener, an eraser, a sheet of dimensionals and mini dimensionals and a Stampin’ Sponge.  A few little crafting essentials that I like to always have near by.

It was a really fun weekend event and I can’t wait to do it again.

Thanks for visiting today.
