A Special Treat Bag For A Special Day

This elegant paper from the Vintage Blue 6 x 6 paper pad by Glitz was the inspiration for the decoration on this bag. Toile is one of my favorite designs so I especially like this paper. I've spent the last couple of days creating a special card for a wedding we will soon be attending and I noticed this gorgous paper sitting there waiting to be used. As I worked, I remembered my own wedding and all of the work that went into it and thought about wedding favors for the guests. Then, I realized that I had the instructions for this little bag and that paper would be perfect to create a party favor bag for each wedding guest so for the fun of it I created this one. I added the Dance in the Sunshine Ribbon by Glitz to tie the treat bag closed and inked the edges using the Dark Brown Maya Road Ink Cube to create a frame around the patterned paper that helped to add a little more touch of elegance to it. Can you see one of these sitting at each guest's seat as they arrive for the reception? Wouldn't it be fun to receive something like this? They can be decorated to match the colors and even the theme of anyone's wedding reception, birthday party and more just by adding some of the fabulous collages, papers and embellishments carried by Altered Pages in the theme of your special day.

Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages. I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent! Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar. Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them. Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA! You have made your own solvent for literally pennies. You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a HUGE jar on the window sill! Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
