To finish off this fun birthday celebration I decided a "gift" was in order....



I started off with a plain white gift bag from a big box store. I added some kraft and yummy chevron paper (ya'll know how I feel about polka dots and chevrons, lol!) then I made a little hand stamped pattern paper to match. To make my hand stamped paper, I started out with white cardstock and stamped the DeNami Design polka dot background stamp in a light pink then randomly stamped the little rose from the Paper Sweeties Sending Springtime set in grey and colored them in. I added a bit of lace and a polda dot flag then stamped the sentiment from the Paper Sweeties So Sweet Of You set and another little rose inside of the DeNami Design elegant oval frame to finish it all off. Easy Peasy and how cute to give someone with a little matching card??

 
I hope all of you have had a great time following the hops all three days and I'd like to thank you for helping us celebrate! I am so honored to be able to have gotten to know the owner and creator of Paper Sweeties, Debbie Marcinkiewicz, on a personal level and to be able to call her my friend. She is an amazing and talented woman. 


 
Don't forget that Paper Sweeties is attending the CKC show in Charlotte, NC August 15th - 17th...hope you can attend and see all the new goodies and I've heard tell that there will be CKC show exclusives!!

  1. Oh my word ... this is just too sweet, Tina! I adore the chevrons and polka dots! The sweet pastel color palette is so pretty ... and you've showcased your Paper Sweeties stamps beautifully! Anyone would be lucky to receive this lovely gift bag -- the bag is a gift itself! Thanks for sharing your time and talents with us to celebrate Paper Sweeties' 1st Birthday :)
