All savvy campers should go prepared with a bag of snack food for hungry bears...
I can do boxes in my sleep, so I thought I'd try a bag for this challenge. The first one I found on the Resources page was the Bag-a-Lope. Since I only had manilla and not white envelopes in that size, it led to a rustic theme.
Stamped the bag with Print Pattern and the trees from Happy Camper, along with the wheel along the top. Added a bear stamped on the trimmed bit of the envelope - thank goodness for the Big Bite. Eyelets in each of the corners, and natural raffia for the handles. The computer-generated tag says BEAR FOOD for hungry bears, and has a bear stamped in pale brown ink as a watermark.
First time I've done one of these...
Second time, as the first time I scored too hard, and when I tried folding it, it tore along the score line. Second time I just folded by eyeballing it!! My stamping might have been a bit better on the first one, but no matter how hard I tried I couldn't sellotape it together along the torn score line, LOL.

OH SHOW OFF...I can do boxes in my sleep, sniff! WELL THEN COME HELP ME?! And while you are at it, show me how to do this ADORABLE little bag! I might put something else in it, because I try to shy away from bear bait, but this is so flippin cute! Stay tuned because wait until you see what I did to that butterfly you sent me, squee! It will be used in one of the DTGD challenges, just haven't picked THE one yet!
