Friday = Happy Day


Now that I'm retired, Friday is just another day.  But for my hardworking husband, Friday is a happy day!  I'll be making him his favorite Martha Stewart Oatmeal Raisin Bars today. Given that he's had a tough week (sick, subway taken down for a day, etc.), I thought I'd slip one of the bars in this cute package (not sure he will care about the package, but I will).

I used the We R Memory Keepers Oh Goodie! Glassine Paper (food safe) to make this happy bag.  These papers are 12 x 12 and in a palette of fun colors and happy designs.  Love them! They'll work great on cards as well.

I trimmed the Oh Goodie! paper to 11" x 6.5" in order to make the finished bag, which is 4.5" x 5.5".  Used Concord & 9th's Bags and Tags Dies to trim the edge of the bag so there would be a cute top (and finished edge on the back) and to make the tag. Speaking of the tag, I added the stripes, tiny heart, and sentiment from Birdie Banners.  Oh, the cute gold sequin trim is also from Concord & 9th.

MOOD WHEN DONE = Colorful! Have a great weekend.

How fun! Your husband will feel special because you made him a treat, and you'll feel special because of that fun bag! It's a winner...

I think homemade treats in a hand made treat bag is just about the coolest thing ever. Presentation is everything!

Such a fun, happy little package to give to your hubby! I love the Bags and Tags dies and have barely scratched the surface of ways to use them!
