Pink Lemonade Gift Bag

Morning!  I have a cute little gift bag to share today.  It's simple, but fun.  I am going to put the t-shirt I made (and posted in the previous post) inside and surprise my sister with it.  I used elegant edges, george, simply charmed, savory and pink journey to create this one.  The lemonade pitcher was cut once in white, inked with blue, and then I embossed frosted vellum and added it as a top layer.  I tried to take a close up of it, but I'm not sure I captured the "coolness" of that pitcher. ;)   I love that this gift bag came out fun and lighthearted, but it still conveys a message.  I am so proud of how well my sister has handled her lemons.  I am going to enter this in the My Craft Spot Gift Bags and Boxes Challenge (http://craftspotbykimberly.blogspot.com/2011/08/monday-challenge-21-gift-bags-and-boxes.html).  This is the first time I have ever entered a challenge.  My friend Joy is on the DT, and she was the push I needed to give it a shot.  Thanks for taking a peek.

    I don't even know where to begin to express just how much I LOVE this! How adorable! The lemon and the pitcher are just so stinkin' cute! And your sentiment, I mean...how perfect is that?!? Had my mammogram yesterday after a bit of a scare (all is well) and you sure put a smile on my face this morning! I love everything about this one girl!

    This is so cool! I mean yes, the pitcher looks really cool. Frosted vellum sounds cool too! Diane, I have never ever entered any challenges, so maybe Joy and you will be the push for me, as I need a really big push.
    What is most important i am sure your sister will love the gift you made for her.
    BTW thanks a million for all your recent comments on my blog and MB posts, you really melt my heart. I wish I could speak English better, it's always a little bit more I have to say but it's all in Russian. Thank you,, thank you, thank you.
