And of course, you have to bag it.

Why go to the store and spend $5 on a gift bag.....really.....is that bag really worth that much?  Ok, if you got it at the dollar store, you are exempt :).

But, I get a handfull of these paper bags from various places, especially family owned boutiques, so I decided to save them, and USE them as my gift bags....

So, you are asking me, how do you turn a mundane boring paper bag thing into something really beautiful for a party, baby shower, etc?

If you like scrapbooking, you are in for a treat......you can use your skills to make beautiful bags.  Here's a fantastic example using some stickers I had lying around, picture mat paper, and my tag diecut maker!
