Sassfully Chirping moment...

Several weeks ago, before I ended up getting run-down and sick, I volunteered to make little treat bags for the Halloween party at my church. My plan was to use the Art Philosophy cartridge and make them absolutely adorable.  And then I got sick.  So, at the last minute I was trying to cut out the 50 little bags and cute-en them up.  I used a pad of Halloween paper that I had left over from a previous projects and Jay and I cut away.  Once the bags were put together, I went back and added some little accents that complimented my paper and my parents helped me fill them an hour before the party.  Talk about wheew!  My one lesson that I learned was to make sure and use very strong adhesive so that when stuffed to capacity (which we did...lol) the bags don't pop at the seams.  This ended up being a great way to use up some extra supplies that were in my studio that I might not have otherwise used.  And, I am happy to report, they were a huge success at the party!  For Art Philosophy users:  I cut the bag at 5 1/2" so that I could successfully get two from each piece of paper.
