I have another sneak peek for you today of the new Chicken Girl Designs stamps from I {heart}Papers! (http://www.iheartpapers.com/index.php) The stamps I've used are from the Into the Forest stamp set, and I instantly fell in love with this bear the first time I saw him! I had an idea in my head to make a little treat bag with some nuts since this sentiment, squirrel and tree stump are also included in the set, so here's my project!
There is a little country bulk food store next door to us at work, and they have this yummy mix of almonds, chocolate covered raisins, raisins, peanuts and peanut M&M's that I just LOVE! So I hopped over there yesterday and bought some to fill up my little treat bag! This bag is a digital download template, Funky Bag #2 (http://www.thedigichick.com/shop/pro...6&cat=0&page=2) from Kelleigh Ratzlaff at the Digichick Boutique. Check them out... there are some awesome downloads available! I cut out the window on the front using my Nestabilities, and added a piece of acetate. The paper I've used is Sassafras Lass from I {heart} Papers.
I thought it would be nice to have this little gift handy for the next time I needed to just say thanks or brighten someone's day. Turns out I've already given it away to my sweet husband. I ended up with a flat tire on my way to work yesterday. Luckily, my co-manager was able to come pick me up and I was able to leave my Trailblazer parked in someone's driveway for the day. However, my husband had quite a time getting it changed when he got off work, and spent a lot of time laying in a stony driveway and got quite dirty just trying to get the doggone spare tire out from under the car! So I gave this to him already to let him know I'm nuts about him!
