I needed a little gift bag to take for a dear friend. This friend is truly "One of a kind" and precious to me! So, remembering a card idea I saw on Pinterest, I decided to line up some chairs and make one of them bright and fun (like my friend)! Can you believe that I've had this now-retired CTMH Stamp of the Month for YEARS and had never gotten any ink on it!?! Wow. I think there have been some missed opportunities!
So, the details . . . Sangria paper pack, Poppy ink for the little sentiment, and I paper pieced the chair cushions. The chairs themselves were stamped in Saddle but left un-colored. This weekend I'm at a fantastic scrapping retreat with my friend - it promises to be a BLAST - and with any luck, I'll have something to show for the three days! *giggle*
ps - please ignore the very messy studio background on the "complete gift bag" photo! My goodness, photos certainly tell the truth!

Terrific gift bag idea! Hey, better late than never in using the stamp set. :) It looks great. And your studio is a well loved space! I don't mind (although I didn't notice anything in the photo that really looked bad) Thanks for sharing, Sharli!
Love it! So bright and happy! A messy studio is a productive studio!
This is fabulous and you are so stinkin' clever too! The bag is the gift in my opinion! Just beautiful.
