First let me say Happy Happy Birthday
to my oldest girl Rebekah!
Happy 20th. Love ya girlie! Rachel, Nana, Papa, Auntie Cokie and I are sending hugs all the way to California. She's having a great start to the semester. Yay! Here's my fave page with Bekah on it.
Now back to our regularly scheduled program!
Introducing...
This will be a bi-weekly feature to show crafters
the fun of making altered projects!

First up are Altered Cotton Bags!!!
These bags are so fun & easy to make. I filled each bag with sweet treats. You can also fill these with buttons to give to one of your crafty friends. :)
To make these:
1. Get yourself some small cotton bags. I ordered these from The Kraft Outlet.
2. Add your favorite embellishment to the front. Chipboard is easy to use because it's sturdy and will stay in place. Use Glue Dots to make them pop-up.
3. Add a sweet sentiment - I used SRM stickers. Love these.
4. Add Twine at the top for a pop of color.

And I must give a shout out to Monika and her fabulous blog - I Love It All. Her designs are AMAZING. She sent me the YUMMY twine {from The Twinery} that I used on today's projects. She also sent me some of her adorable prints. Here's one that I used to make a card. I overlay the top of the print with a transparency from MME's Lime Twist collection. I'm going to frame it and sit it on my desk.
You gotta check out her Etsy shop too:
It's full of beautiful prints, mini books, journals, supplies, and more. I already have my sights set on several items to give as Christmas presents.
And another shout out goes to the sweet Virginia Lu. She sent me the fun SRM stickers that I used on today's project. Check out her fab blog too!
Hope you find inspiration from my new feature!
And if you love altered projects be sure to play along in our
upcoming altered challenges at LESSology.
