For my project today, I decided to go a little outside the box and make a paper bag card covered with designer paper.  I figured the card could also act as the gift by putting a gift card inside the bag opening flap.  The only other embellishments I added were primas, brads, a punched butterfly, and a homemade cheese round with a wedge cut out.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day and don't forget to stop by the rest of the design team blogs to leave some love for a chance to win today's featured set.

For today's project featuring Umbrellas & Fans, I went with a black/purple theme.  After stamping my own background and border, I stamped the main fan image in memento lulu lavender ink before layering and popping up over the stamped border.  The only embellishments I added were some punched butterflies and flowers highlighted with ice stickles.

Come on back tomorrow for more creativity.
