I Love Roo

Good Saturday morning to you.  I am slow to wake up this morning. I think it must have been a long week or something!  We got some snow yesterday so once I am awake and the sun comes out, we will be out shoveling us out!  Maybe that is why I am slow to wake up! Ha ha ha!

 Today's project was discovered by my good friend, Cindy. I just loved her swanky cool bags that she came up with so I had to try them for Valentine's Day. I chose the Paper Smooches set called A Little Lovin. I just love that kangaroo so much with the saying.

I ordered a variety of paper sacks and was so excited to start. I really love how the kraft bags looked and worked with my project. I think I may have to order some more of those.

Oh the paper I used is called Yours Truly from Echo Park. A friend of mine recommended it, and I just love it. I used a 6x6 paper pad of it, but I also got some bigger sheets for other projects.

I made my back a little bit different than Cindy did. I punched out my circles and put brads in the middle. I attached both circles with foam tape and used waxed linen for my thread. I did attach the waxed linen thread under the foam tape on the top circle.

So that is it!  This is a fun little project, and I can think of so many neat things to put in the bag. I think I am going to make two for my daughters and send them either some gift cards or cash for Valentine's Day. You know how it is to be a starving college student!
