Scrapping4fun - Anything Goes


Hello my crafty followers.  I thank each of you for your beautiful comments and thank you for following my journey through this crafty blog world, it really warms my heart.  

I know you are here for a challenge.  So...it's an easy one from Scrapping 4 Fun...Anything Goes.  For such an easy challenge, I struggled to come up with something.  Then, when I was making my oldest son some chocolate covered coffee beans, it hit me.  I had to take some into the grocery store where they are so kind to me and helped me pick out the beans (i don't drink coffee) and asked me if I would bring in some of the final product.  I knew I needed something special to bring them in.  Here's my project:


A cute little bag.  The bag is actually from our trip to Greece in 2010.  There was no writing on it, but it was such a heavy duty bag, I knew I had to keep it.  I got to use mainly scraps for this bag, thank goodness.  The blue dp was the only non scrap piece used.  


I finally inked up a stamp and die set I bought a couple of years ago from C.C. Designs called Coffee & Cocoa Logos.  The edge of the blue dp was inked and sponged.  Added some liquid pearls dots on the edges.  You can see part of a die-cut I used for steam, that was cut from vellum, then I added Stickles. 


The ribbon was from the wedding in Greece we went to celebrate and was added to one of the handles (i should have taken a better pic of the bow).  For some reason, I decided to add the tickets hanging from the side.  I found some fun cork ribbon and had to use it.  I also added the music paper and cork ribbon to the back of the bag, because I hated to leave it plain.  

thanks for looking and reading :o)  Check out the other DT inspiration creations
