I made my very first card using a brown paper bag for my mother for Mother's day. I think it turned out kinda
caute for something made using a paper sack. I took a photo of myself as a small child (eh gawds, I guess you could say a
vintage photo of myself!) and made a transparency with it. (if your going to do this as well, make a mirrored copy so the emulsion will be on the inside of the card)

Anywho, I used some velum paper under the transparency which I then colored using some chalk to give the picture some color. I stitched on the bag, inked it, painted it and stitched it somemore. I turned the folded section of the paper bag into a pocket to hold a gift card~

I also made a pocked on the backside to hold one of my info-cards~

I made a sheet music envelope to hold the card and tied it up with some vintage fabic that I stamped with one of my favorite stamps.

I happened upon a bundle of smaller bags recently at a second hand store for super cheap.... I'm thinking of making tags out of them. Another... "
one of these days I'm going to do that projects~ "
