#1 Stampin’ Up! UK Demonstrator Pootles – Make a Storybook Moment Gift Bag
I don’t usually ‘track’ the products that people order, but I couldn’t help notice that there have been many many orders for the Storybook Moments suite, or parts of it, and while I of course had planned to use it myself, I decided to bring it forward and get on with playing wit it today!
I knew I wanted to make a gift bag, but hadn’t actually prepared one in advance, but I quickly grabbed the details of one of my own past projects, and recreated it using the wonderful paper and the pre-cut die-cut shapes.
Isn’t it so sweet!?
The whole suite is really nostalgic for me, quite Beatrix Potter/Brambly Hedge and a lovely trip down memory lane of past books and home decor that I had in my own childhood.
and actually, as I was creating and filming, it popped into my head that the sheet of paper with smaller rectangle ‘card front’ pieces could actually be used as a sort of collage of home decor, in frames?
The possibilities are endless, way beyond me making a gift bag!
I hope you like it, and don’t forget, there are Scrapbook pages and workshops now available too!

Dear Sam,
What possessed you to start advertising – I suppose you get paid!
I get far too many ads already and it quite puts me off your usually excellent posts.
Love
Lynette
I have a small number of ads that show up and yes, it’s a way to supplement my income, but it seems google have gone a little overboard on them, so hopefully I’ve adjusted it so that they’re more ‘discreet’ on the page now
