Hi friends!  Today I have a fun project from design team member Amy Cluck to share with you.  Amy made these adorable little treats to ask her friends if they wanted to be in her upcoming wedding.  Isn’t that super cute?  Who doesn’t love a little treat?  She put fun lollipops in her bags but you could put anything that matches your wedding.  Amy has created this fabulous free printable also which you can get on her blog post HERE.  This packaging idea would also be cute as a party favor or classroom treats.    

Supplies:

Orange Stripe Middy Bitty Bag

Pink Diagonal Stripe Bigger Bitty Bag

Middy Glassine Bag

Divine Twine

Wedding Printable by Amy Cluck

Clear bag/box

Candy

Just received this Valentine Countdown Calendar from one of our creative customers, Malia Karlinsky. She made it for her children, inserting love notes into Little Bitty Bags to mark each day. (Candy, stickers or tiny toys would be fun to use too!) You could create a calendar to count down to any special occasion by changing the color or style of the Bitty Bags. Try polka dot or chevron. What a great idea to give the little ones something to do as they wait for a special day to arrive!

Thanks for sharing your creativity, Malia!

Super savvy Design Team member, Sav O’Gwynn, has a simple solution to spruce up any present.  She’s monogrammed a pink Colored Tag with bedazzling gems and tied it to the top of a gift bag using generous amounts of Divine Twine. The gift just went from simple to sensational! She’s used Orange and Cotton Candy but choose any color to match your wrapping.  Or…. use a Bigger Bitty Bag for your gift wrap… just a thought!

For more inspiration from Sav, visit her blog.

I have a pretty and playful project for you today created by design team member, Marie Ramirez. This scrapbook is layered with fun ideas for  keeping the memories that you make! I especially love the hint of Lemon Divine Twine on the front cover. This book is called “Summer” but it could just as easily be called Holiday 2012, Winter Fun or Baby’s First Year — you get the idea! Bitty Bags are thoughtfully layered to hold various treasures – tickets, photos, newspaper clippings, journal entries and the like, while Colored Tags provide the perfect surface for making notes or labeling pages.Feel free to use your favorite supplies to give it your special flare. Or, get your kids in on this one. Wouldn’t they have a blast putting this together?!
