thankful thank yous

 i adore RhonnaDesigns chalk kits so very much.
her newest addition is called Chalkboard Autumn Art Bundle.
and it's a steal of a deal for gorgeous chalk art.

had a few thank you gifts that needed making...so i went quick fast in a hurry and made tags using her chalk art work.

first i created a new canvas in photoshop elements and sized it to 3x4.

then i brought in one of the black png images like you see above...'attitude of gratitude'.

it comes in black, so i recolored it to white...to look like chalk.

i dragged that image over the 3x4 canvas and resized to fit.

then i dragged several of those to an 8 1/2 x 11 document and printed them out!

then...

i took plain lunch bags...

used the heidi swapp polka dot stencil and sprayed it over with the black velvet color shine.

then i sprayed gold lame on zig zag ribbon and hot glued to the top of the folded over bag...

then i trimmed a few pieces of black pop card stock and notched on the end...

layered those over the zig zag trim, added a twist of tulle and stapled the 3x4 autumn art piece to the front.

like i said...quick fast and a hurry...

and a pretty way to wrap up my oh so yummy carmel corn.

so many opportunities to say thank you to friends and teachers and leaders this time of year...

and i already know that these little gifts brought smiles to many.
