'Cookie Lee Jewelry' Gift Bags with a Purpose: Sharing Thankfulness!

They will always be remembered and greatly praised,
    because they were kind and freely gave to the poor.

Psalm 112: 9

Hello and Welcome!  Here I am doing this, my eighth post in conjunction with a group I connected with after I began using my new-last-summer Silhouette CAMEO cutting machine.  It’s a monthly post to showcase projects that members of the Silhouette Challenge Group have made using these wonderful machines.  You'll find a list at the end here of those of our ever-growing group who are participating this month, so you can visit them, also!

For this month’s project, I have made Gift Bags to offer to any individuals who would like to take orders for the lovely, reasonably priced Cookie Lee Jewelry – earn Free and Discounted items for themselves - and expressly at this time of year, allow a Donation of a Thanksgiving Dinner to be made through a local charity organization!   All of that in a little Gift Bag!!  As a Cookie Lee Jewelry Consultant, I learned of this project just last week and decided to make these in conjunction with this Silhouette Challenge Group post.  I made several bags in each of the two colors I'm showing here today.

A note of explanation on the back panel of the 'skirt' -

Close-up of the note

I used bags that I had on hand, in brown and navy blue and added a ‘skirt’ of sparkle Gold and Silver.  I added a Flourish from Miss Kate Cuttables, cut in 2 sizes from cardstock and wallpaper.  I cut the word, ‘Thankful’ from black marbleized wallpaper.  I punched Maple leaves from cardstock, wallpaper and printed pages of an inexpensive Bible purchased to use for decorative elements.

 I had several Gift Bags left from another venture I’d been involved with and since they had words on them, I used the ‘Gift Bag Skirt’ pattern, which also had an emblem pattern included.  It was a Penny Duncan .svg pattern that I got several years ago.

The bags will include a couple of Cookie Lee catalogs, some order forms and the letter of explanation.  The full catalogs can also be seen on my personal website at:  www.CookieLee.biz/LyndenBlossom   Any items can be ordered, individually, when not included in this ‘fundraising-type’ situation – at any time of the year.  You can contact me at any time at:  LyndenBlossom@CookieLee.biz  I'd love to have you invite friends over, I'll bring many items to see, try on and purchase and we'll have a fun evening or afternoon!  We also do Fundraisers for any organization in which you may be involved!
