I really enjoy (like obsessively so) decorating for a party or a gift giving occasion! Especially if it is for a close family member or friend.  The Annual Inspirations Idea Book has been the answer to so many things for me…. especially these designer creation paper bags!! Here I have used the slate collection to make a gift bag and a card (they are versatile after all) and I have so much more planned for them!!!

This gift bag is ready to go for a special someone this holiday – I plan to pop in a CD of favourite christmas songs and then it is a perfect fit! You could also gift some fresh-baked cookie goodness in these- yummy!

This card I created using the paper bag as a piece of patterned paper.  I added some stickers from the Chalk it Up complements and a piece of our new arrow washi tape (backed with white paper).  Add a sentiment and card done!

These bags are so fun- and they come in a variety of colours! Check them out by clicking the photo below!
