Happy Birthday Mike!

My brother-in-law is celebrating his birthday today.  We tend to exchange money between all of us siblings.  I decided to make one of these envelope gift bags that I saw here.  They are so much fun!  Gen shows you how to reuse your junk mail envelopes by covering them with printed paper.  She shows you what to do so make sure you hop over and take a look.  I decided to keep it clean and simple and I used for sentiments for PTI’s mega mixed messages set.  I was looking around on eighteen 25 when they had this post about a Holiday bake, craft and sew along.  So I went to the three blogs listed when I saw these subway signs which are super fun.  This is my take on the subway sign but on a gift bag.  I think the next time I do this I would add some color and birthday related images like presents and candles, maybe even just some dots.  I punched a circle from black cs and put a black brad in the center for interest.  By adding the circle it made it easier to see where the envelope was divided.

Here is a look inside the envelope bag.  I used a black paperclip to attach the tag and money to a package of gum.

Supplies: regular white envelope, Stazon Jet black ink, PTI-mega mixed messages, black cs, 1 1/4 circle punch, black brad, adhesive
