I won a $20 {ippity} gift certificate last week as part of the {ippity} June release party, and I was psyched to be able to get an awesome new set called The Best with it. It arrived yesterday (thanks, Noelle!), and I couldn't wait to start playing with it!! I needed a birthday gift bag in a hurry, so this evening I used the very cool EVENT tag from my new set to dress up a patterned paper bag I've had in my stash since, oh, I don't know, 1986? 'Bout time I used that bugger, eh? This is what I came up with:
I thought I'd enter this in the {ippity} challenge to make anything but a card. It's also perfect for the new All Things Unity challenge to Get Manly.
Thanks for taking a look!
Emily

Very very cool!!! tfs!!
Congrats on your new goodies!
1986? Excellent :) The only reason I don't have stash at least as old is because we moved cross-country in 2002 & hubs wouldn't let me take everything ;) You know, though, using up stash means there's room for new stuff!
Congrats on your new fun stuff - and I love the project! The way you tied the string is really cool.
Great bag with your new stamps Emily! Love how you dressed up the tag! Congrats on your win!!

So cool to being using up your old stash! I am happy to hear you won a GC, and that you used Noelle as your ippity chick! She is the best! :)
Congrats on another win of goodies! I'd LOVE to see all of your winnings piled up together; bet it's a large pile! Glad you got to use something that you've had in your stash for a long time. Feels good, doesn't it? And enjoy those new stamps - they are neat!
How very elegant! I love how you used that tag with the crown inside. Your sponging looks fabulous, Emily, and I'm very interested in how you attached those pieces of string to the brad!!
Emily, your bag is fantastic! Love how you dressed it up with your old stash and your new stamps...congrats on the win!
