I absolutely love it! I had a bit of a late start because my local Michaels was out of Kraft paper bags. I also ordered my perfect trim ruler, but since I was too anxious to wait for it, my corners look less than perfect. Oh, well…
Loving the series, you are an awesome teacher!

  I used Kraft Cardstock that I purchased from Hobby Lobby. The brand is The Paper Studio.

  The paper bags can be purchased at Michaels. They are located in the party supply section of the store and not the Scrapbooking area.
