...Enjoy : A Verve Gift Bag

Happy Sunday, everyone! It has been a very odd weekend at my house. It started with the fact that I didn't sleep at all Thursday night working on some projects, then I ran around Friday with my friend, Pam. We went out to eat at our favorite Japanese restaurant, then decided to do some craft shopping. While we were in the middle of shopping, I was hit with a horrible dizzy spell! I haven't passed out since I was about ten years old, but the feeling was all-too-familiar. I had to go to the car and sit back with my eyes closed for the ride back to her house.

The dizziness didn't subside, so I came home. I can only assume that the combination of lack of sleep, not enough fluids throughout the day, and the excitement about being a Verve Guest Diva was simply too much for my delicate body {wink, wink} to handle. Once I got home, I changed into my pajamas and had planned to take a nap. The Verve Release Party was Friday night, and there was NO WAY I was going to miss it. Well...my body had plans of its own! I slept all evening and night on Friday, AND most of the day on Saturday...I even carried on a coherent phone conversation while I was comatose! LOL! I hope I was pleasant! :) Anywho...I missed the release party, and I was just devastated! I had made a special project to share and everything. So...seeing as how I didn't get a chance to show it off at the Verve Forum I decided to show it to all of you today! Here we go...do you remember this tag I created the other day?

I made this gift bag using the tag as the focal panel:

I repeated the patterned papers and silver accents onto the background for the tag. I love how it turned out! I have a house filled with boys and testosterone, so any time I can create something girlie and froo-froo...I'm on it! LOL! The patterned papers were from the Walk in the Park Designer Series Paper, and I matted the layers in either Basic Gray Cardstock or Whisper White Cardstock. I also added a scallop on the gray horizontal layer using the Scallop Edge Punch, and I finished off the handles with Baja Grosgrain Ribbon and Baja Buttons from the Button Bouquet.

That's it for me! I am still pretty tired, but I have too many chores to complete to nap today! Thanks for stopping by to see me, and I hope you enjoyed yourself. I will see you all tomorrow with a card(s) for one (or more) of the sketch challenges from this past weekend. Until then...
