Avocado Arts~book sack!!!

 
Hi guys~this is my second project working with the Spring Medley set by Avocado Arts!!! I had such a creative time with these stamps.  The book bag is made from burlap.  All you need to do is cut the burlap the size you want to fit the book or other "treat".  I hot glued mine together on two sides but would have sewed if my machine had been working right:):)

 
I decorated a manilla tag using the awesome Spring Medley set.  This set has flowers that can be stacked, leaves that can be stacked and the "peeps"!!! Love those!!!  I added a button with a lapel pin on the back and some green spring twine!!!  For more inspiration check out the Pit Crew girls~

    Nice I had seen the big rolls of burlap at Michaels and wondered what I'd do with all that.

    Beautiful project. I think I like your innovative way of using the hot glue instead of sewing. I hope your machine is fixed soon.
