PAPER BAG GIFT AND VALENTINE CARD

Hello everyone, I have two projects to share with ya today.....first up it is inspiration time over at the Cafe's Blog, we are featuring projects using the LONG SENTIMENT TAG SET...
I decided to print directly onto a paper bag.....Need I say I love the way it looks BUT it took forever for me to get the image good...I think it was because a few of my bags just weren't that smooth...anyhoo, I love the way it came out.I ended up using the FEB 14 set for the heart plant image and then I use my Bosskut to cut out a heart right in the image.....I added some clear plastic so that you could see what was in the bag...which is cookies...the tag is part of the LONG SENTIMENT TAG SET....it is on special until Thursday...

Up next is my Valentine's Day card for my hubby....wwwwwwwwooooooooo can't believe I actually have it done early this year.....again I used the FEB 14 set.

IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME..............

Since I have posted....much as happened since my last post...The biggest thing is that my computer crashed which caused such a MESS to say the least. BUT I am back up and running and AM WISER from the whole process.
