Another Fabulous Retreat

At this time last week I was scrapbooking with a bunch of amazing ladies in the hills of Scottsboro,  AL. What has become our bi-annual scrapbook treat is an event that we all look forward to.
To welcome the girls when they arrived I had made these simple little gift buckets for each person in or group.  The little tags were simply copied from the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge instruction section on the booklet but changing the card as shown to a simple tag and changing the colors to fit the spring time event. 
Each night during the retreat I lead one simple workshop to give everyone something fun to make,  maybe outside of their box,  but something fun that we can take away with us.  Thursday night we made these cute gift bags with our Muslim bags. We simply stamped on the bags using our pigment inks and attached a cute flower also cut from the Art Philosophy Cricut Catridge and used our quilling tool to form the flower.  A couple glue dots, a little ribbon and viola, a cute gift bag ready for Mother's Day, Graduation,  a wedding or whatever you may need a little gift bag for.   I love giving gift cards in something this simple to create - it just makes the gift card seem a little more planned and thought about. 


Here is another one I did at Christmas. Easy Peasy. Just stamp the initial of the person you are giving it to in the inside of the wreath and your gift tags is taken care of too!
Have you used these Muslim bags?  If not, order yours today and let me see how you decorate yours up.
