Welcome to Taylored Expressions Blast from the Past October Blog Hop!! The theme for our October hop is "Trick or Sweet". Create a Halloween themed card or a sweet treat to celebrate an special occasion.
I had to go with Halloween. When my girls were little I loved Halloween. I made all their costumes, sometimes even matching costumes for their American Girl dolls! Well, they are all young adults now but I still like to have a Halloween Treat for them! For my hop project I created a gift bag that will hold some goodies on the 31st!!
I am using the stamp set Hangin' Out - Wicked Wardrobe. I stamped, colored, and paper pieced the witch's dress, bloomers, and hat. Then I cut them out and added dimensional dots to the back of the image. My bag is just a $.50 kraft bag from Michael's and papers from We R Memory Keepers 6x6 Pad - Spookville.
I used the Cloud Border die and sponged distressing ink on the edges of the cloud. Then I added Beetle Black Doodle Twine to hang my clothes from. The final touch is my fence cut with the Spooky Border die. Now all I need to do is add a sweet treat!!
Thanks for hopping on over to my blog today!!

ReplyDeleteI loved making matching outfits for my girls and their AG dolls. I started when my oldest was 4 and had a Bitty Baby. Now she's 17 and I miss those days. Thanks for the memories. Your gift bag would be perfect to hold a new outfit for any self-respecting American Girl doll (or for a scary Halloween book for those girls who are "too grown up" for all of that anymore.) I hope you've saved everything for when your daughters have daughters.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic gift bag!!! Love all the details!
