UPCYCLE A PAPER BAG

Hello!  It's Karen C here!  This week we have a fun and interesting challenge.  You are being challenged to upcycle (recycle) a paper bag.  We are being sponsored by Milk N Coffee who will be giving our winner of this challenge 4 digis of their choice.

I thought that since it was my turn to post the challenge this week I would share a short, fast and easy tutorial on how to make a fun lunch bag card, then I will show you what I did with mine.

Instructions on how to make a lunch bag card:
Step 1:  Take a regular sized lunch bag (this was about 6 inch x 14 inch)
Step 2:  Score the bag at the six inch mark and fold it with the bag's bottom flap inside.  Then cut off the other two inches.
Step 3:  Cut FOUR square pieces of cardstock at 5 7/8 inches square.
Step 4:  Paste one of the four squares on the front, paste two of the others on the inside (one on the right side one on the left side).  The fourth is for the slide out piece.
Step 5:  Decorate like you would a normal card!

Easy huh?  Here is what I made using  Charlotte and Midnight Cammomile Tea, feel free to check out my blog for more information!

  Now I will show you what my talented teamies made!  Larissa   Lynne This was a chemist paper carrier bag basket weaved used original handles to carry all the paper aeroplanes

Morning folks! It's Helen here with this week's challenge ... but not before the results of last week's "Birthdays" challenge which was kindly sponsored by Dilly Beans who are offering our lucky prize winner 3 digis. I asked Mr Random to chose a number between 1 and 80 and he picked Number 60 - Tine - congratulations!!!!!!!!!!! Please grab the winner's badge and drop us an e-mail so we can get your prize to you.

Unfortunately, I couldn't ask for his help to choose our Top 3 5 this week which made my job really hard. You obviously all love creating Birthday Cards and we had some wonderful entries this week. So without further ado, my Top 5, in numerical order, are:

15 - Marilyn Webb

32 - Kozmik

50 - Jo L

54 - JanR

80 - Emma Sheppard

Congratulations to you all! I hope you'll all grab the Top 5 Badge from the side bar and wear it on your blog with pride.
