Monday Happiness

It’s a fresh new week and a beautiful day and I’m happy here. One of the things that makes me happy is wonderful friends. I created this gift bag for a friend of mine just to let her know that.

This gift bag uses all kinds of Lily Bee Design goodies. Paper, chipboard, rub-ons…love them all. I had a little fun experimenting with this bag and mixed two different lines together. The Lovely line and Hello Sunshine mixed so well.

Lily Bee Design also has a fun giveaway going on that you won’t want to miss. Do you like Lily Bee on facebook? Invite your friends for a chance to win. Check it out here.

You’ll notice I used lots of stitching on this project. To stitch on a gift bag you have to make the design on a front panel first. Just cut a piece of scrap paper the size of the front of the gift bag and create your design on it. When finished gluing and stitching, adhere the whole thing to the gift bag front.
