Shopping Bag Valentines

Since my cards seemed to get saved and used as decorations, I decided to make some that had handles.  These started out as a thrift store buy of 50  cents worth of bags.  I was amazed at how the fine details like cupid's bows came out every time without a problem.

The lace on the background is a drapery sample.

I love the fuzzy edge of the velveteen fabric.  The white is an embossed piece that came off of an old birthday card.

The fabric is from scraps I stole from my aunt.  It is a beautiful embroidered demin.

Of course when I went to mail these valentines, they didn't fit a standard size mailing envelope.  A little tape and magazine covers from the recycle bin work wonders.

Thanks for stopping.
