GREETING CARD - Brown Bagging it!




This original keepsake card's foundation is a brown paper lunch bag! Yep...that's right! Simply fold the bag in half, glue or "fancy" sew the inside middle part and it becomes a little album!

I've glued some scrapbook paper on the cover and embellished with tags, labels and transfer lettering all found at ...the dollar store! (Who would have guessed it?
)







 Here's the opened view of the card. Notice the bottom flap of the bag on the left page? Make use of that space by inserting a keepsake under the flap and have it stick out a little for a dimensional feel.  Spruce it up as you please. This particular card was made for a dear friend battling with cancer. Inside were inspirational quotes and words from her friends.

Pictures instead of words are a nice option as well.





                                                                                   


(Right side view while open)                                         

This side has a nice little pocket from the top opening
of the bag. Insert some pictures or some greetings


                                                                                   





I gathered a little compilation of proverbs and wishes. Attached them into a booklet and placed it in the pocket.





This card was filled with laughter, memories, and love.
