When it comes to kids…

(OK, really anyone) and wrapping a gift….Keep it SIMPLE!!!  Why do we fret over this (or maybe that’s just me?)  Sometimes I’ll get so wrapped up in the latest trend, technique or tool that I forget to have fun!  Remember FUN???  I mean, that’s what got us all hooked on this crazy craft in the first place! 

So there I was running around like a crazy woman…looking for a gift bag for a last minute birthday gift…when it hits me….I have a ton of white, lunch bags and a set of sports stamps!  I’ll just make a gift bag…and here’s what I did:

Hockey Gift Bag

Earth shattering?  No…Cute?  You bet!…Well received?  I think so :-)  Because I didn’t have time to stop & shop for a coordinating pencil I used a simple fan fold and some SNAIL and a brad to close the bag.  I double stamped the mask on the tag to give it a 3-D effect….a little sponging really brought out that "Fan-style" fold.  Keep this idea in mind this holiday season…everyone is on a budget and we can all use a litte extra help when it comes to keeping things quick and easy!  Even the kids and your hubby can handle this!

Be sure to check back for some more cute bag ideas just in time for the Holidays….Ho! Ho! Ho!
