Time for Anything but a Card

Hello Everyone,

I have been missing playing with my House-Mouse stamps. And finally got some fun playtime coloring this adorable 'The Thinker' with Amanda mouse. My creativity got tickled as I was inspired by one of my favorite Challenge Blog's House-Mouse & Friends to join in their challenge.  I had bought a packet of 3 natural plain gift bags at the dollar store awhile back knowing I wanted to decorate them so this gave me the nudge to start...on at least one as a Thank you gift bag. I went ahead and left off a sentiment  so they could reuse how they wanted.  I decorated the other side also with this pretty design paper by K & Company along with a cardboard lining on the inside bottom. I also fuzzy cut the top of the bag with scallops edges.

It was quite easy and fun once I found the design paper and decided on a fall like neutral color theme. I gave it a special touch of tender loving care by tying some yellow string with double loop knots every few centimeters on each handle to give it a pop of color and special look.
Supplies Used:
Spellbinders: Timeless Rectangles,  Grand Ovals, Grand Rectangles
Martha Stewart: Aster punch/flower
Design Paper: K & Company
Spectrum Noir, Faber Castell pencils

Here is the other side of the gift bag.

I am entering this decorated gift bag into the following Challenges where I am also a Follower.
