Frosted Petunias Artful Bag challenge: January

If you're anything like me, and you're here so you must be a bit like me, you enjoy seeing other art, craft and hobby blogs.

After all, it's fun to see what others are creating, and it's extra fun to join challenges. Right?

Because of this I'm sure you've ended up at Wishin' I Knew How to Blog (or you're there now since I've just given up the link).

... thanks for returning!

OK, now you also know that beautiful Electra creates some of the most wonderful pieces! So, when I read about the awesome Artful Bag submission she'd posted I had to stumble on over to Frosted Petunias to check out the Artful Bag Challenge for myself.

Which means I'm now here, boring you so fully that you left 10 minutes ago to get a glass jug of wine, when this entire explanation could have been stated as: Here's my January submission for the Artful Bag Challenge. It's a Cricut Tags, Bags, Boxes and More shape cut from a K&Company paper with Holtz, Cricut, Fiskar and random embellishments!

Thanks for dropping in, tune in to your inner bag lady on and share your creation at the Artful Bag challenge, and don't forget to join in the fun of Pay it Forward (if you'll have time in 2011).

  11. What a fabulous bag! I love the colors and the music theme. The way you inked the flower edges in blue is my favorite. So glad you decided to play along. Hope to see you again for the next one :)

  16. What a beautiful bag (and a good story to boot) and no, I didn't have to drink any wine! Your bag is the same template as I used for mine (yours came out far nicer - I had trouble creasing it crisply after embossing).

    I've seen you commenting at Electra's - pleasure to meet you on YOUR blog!
