Bags and Tags with Gingersnap Creations

A little bit of fun and funky today, with a new challenge from Gingersnap Creations: Bags and Tags.  Our overall theme this month is "At the Mall", and we've also been doing some recycling/repurposing, so for my bag and tag I recycled from our latest mall trip.  I took a small square-ish bag from American Eagle and covered it with images from Altered Pages' Fashion Ladies collage sheet.  I printed out the sheet twice on regular paper, cut apart the vintage sewing pattern images, and inked them up with distress inks.  Then I collaged them onto the bag, along with some of the fashion phrases from the sheet.  The tag is also from an item of clothing (one of my daughter's - her clothes have the best tags!), on top of which I added a fashion lady image from The Artistic Stamper's Twenties' Ladies Plate 4.  A sentiment from CHF and a little bling, and you have a gift bag for a tweenie girl!

We're at the beach this week, so this is probably it for my crafty postings for a while.  I'm hoping to have lots of time to visit all of your gorgeous blogs! :)  Until next time....
