Hello friends!
I am delighted to be part of the
Altenew Educator Blog Hop. My current role in the Altenew Educator Program is overseeing the last workshop and help with the final certification. It has been a joy to certify over 40 Educators. Each time is just as exciting as the first time!
The theme of this hop is "Anything But A Card"!
We are celebrating this month's Build-A-Flower with a blog hop!
If you arrive from the blog of
Nancy Souza you are in the right place.
If not, come and join the fun hop for ideas and inspiration.
For this blog hop, I decided to make it practical and keep it simple. I also incorporated a bit of recycle element. After all, we all have some store paper bags around the house. Why not use it instead of buy gift bags!?
If you look closely, you can see the Banana Republic logo underneath the dotty Washi Tape! I took out the Wildflower Collection and decorated the kart gift bag.
However, with the right paper and creativity, all is transformed!
To make it natural and organic, I added black splatter on the bag.
