Happy Birthday card & bag set.
Posted by Michelle on July 31st, 2010 . Filed under: Uncategorized .Woo-Hoo, it’s the weekend again!
Today is my baby boy’s 8th birthday, so I had to post birthday something (even if it’s not for him). He’s not even here with me – he and my husband are camping for the weekend. We asked him if he would have a problem not being with his mommy on his birthday and he said “hmmmm….well, as long as I can have an extra s’more!” Yeah – dumps mom for an extra s’more – what.ev.er!
It’s OK – my daughter and I are having girls weekend. We’ve got a lot of things planned – baking cookies, shopping, eating out – just some good old-fashioned mother-daughter time.
So this little card and bag set feature patterned papers and embellies by American Crafts. The little blue bag is another that I picked up at Walmart – will probably head there too and stock up on these this weekend. Last time I shared a gift bag here there were questions about the stitching. I stitch the edge on my sewing machine, then finish off the bag front and then adhere the entire thing. I use a “real” sewing machine – not a craft one or a mini or anything like that. The kind that if I wanted to make a dress, I could do that. But seeing as I don’t know how to, I never will *giggles*
Hope your Saturday is a fun one!

Beautiful gift set – love the bright fun colors and different elements you used. Love the stitching again – at least you use your machine (mine is still in the closet). And my son would dump me for another s'more too, I'm sure – LOL! (ack, and I missed your candy giveaway – I was just drooling over it)

Bright and certainly summery, Michelle! The crab cracks me up! (Pun intended!) I love the ribbon treatment on the card! I'm gonna have to get to Wally's one day to check out those bags!

Michelle, you are just the best at making me laugh! All of my kids would dump me for anything, as long as daddy was around:) Love your card and your bag! So bright, fun, and CUTE!!! Thanks for the link to the Webster's Pages stuff. We've been school shopping ALL DAY, but I will check it out now.

Enjoy your mother-daughter weekend.
