PaperTrey Ink August Blog Hop

This month's challenge was to create something out of a brown paper lunch bag.  I made this little gift bag and tag using PaperTrey Ink "Library Ledger" papers.  First I covered the strips at the bottom.  Added a punched flower embellished with a terracotta button and brown baker's string.  The manila tag is from Michelle W's Etsy shop.   The clothespin is inspired by Mish's post today :).  I used the "Just a note" stamp from the "Just the Ticket" stamp set.  Love it!  Twill tape is aqua mist, button is lemon tart. I used the Vintage Duo ink pads for distressing and inking the sentiment.  All supplies are from PaperTrey Ink.  I apologize for the mediocre photo, didn't have time to play with it as I just remembered about the hop an hour before posting and had to ride my bike to 3 stores to find  brown paper bags!  Whew! Made it just in time!  Thanks for stopping.  Be sure to hop over to the other blogs and check out the cute projects!
