All of the ladies are creative, talented and great on video. I am on YouTube, but would never, ever be confident enough to do a video showing my face! Believe me, it takes a lot of courage to do it and also complete a tutorial. Wonderful job everyone and good luck! I hope Papertrey Ink rewards everyone with a gift card for even entering. They all deserve a reward.

Sunny says
Hi JM! I will do a blog post on how to add sides to the bags. Also, the Favor It Die #7 makes a little trey (kind of like a paper hotdog tray) that fits perfectly in the bottom of the 5.5″ bag. There will be many many versions of these bags on my blog in the coming months! You can subscribe to my blog or check back here and I will follow up when I’ve posted instructions on creating the sides: heartstringsink.typepad.com
