A CreafTEA Project

It’s been a while since I felt inspired to craft, thank goodness I have my vegetable garden to keep my mind busy and my body in motion. Gardening gives me the opportunity to retreave to a happy place in my head just like creafing often does. Last week was the first time that inspiration hit me while I was in my craft room. There was a tea bag on my desk from a happy mail that I received a while back. The art work and the colors where so pretty I didn’t want to throw it away so I kept it. This little bag inspired me to create a larger version and add a quote inside becuase quotes are always a good thing.

I liked this project so much that I decided to create a template of the bag and share it here with you. I also went as far as designing the pattern on the bag. I hope you like it. I have included 2 tags that will serve as the “tea bag” this is where you can add a quote or a message if you would like to use these as a gift tags. I think it would make a cute decoration to a pretty package.

This is the one that I made. I love it! Now you can make your own. Decorate the bag with the butterfly I am including in the freebie. Maybe print your quote, which is what I should have done.

The dotted lines are where you fold the paper. you won’t be able to see those once the bag is folded. You can pring the file on the white side of the single sided pattern paper if you would like the inside of the bag have a pattern Just like mine. I had to glue 2 pieces of the same paper to achive the look. You can also print the file twice and glue both pieces back to back and have the same pattern inside as well. I hope this made sense.

One last suggestion. You can use the print as a template and trace the design onto a pretty pattern paper and cut out the pattern. Have fun with this project any way you choose to create it.

Thank you for visiting my blog and I hope you tag me if you share this project on your social media. @whitesugardesings

Have a lovely weekend.

One Question A Day-December

Only 31 days left in 2020, I am happy it will be over soon and hopeful that 2021 will be a better year. I am sure we all feel the same way. Another thing I can’t believe, I am adding the last set of questions for this writing project. I am thrilled that I was able to complete it and proud of those of you who took on this challenge and saw it all the way through. This month’s questions are all about reflecting on the events of 2020 and how it affected us individually and world wide.

I think I mentioned this on another post but I will not be doing this project next year. At the end it proved to be hard to keep the questions from repeating. I am trying to be a finisher next year and complete any project I start. If you follow me on IG you may also know that I will not be doing my quote journal either. This two project are being replaced by a perpetual journal calendar and a memory keeping flip album.

Thank you again for keeping me on my toes with this intentional writing project. 2020 turned out to be the best year for this project because we needed to write down all those emotions that we went through as we experienced a pandemic. Have a blessed holiday season and an even more enjoyable new year.

One Question A Day/November

Seeing the good around us. These are hard times we are living in and I feel the news are only “BAD” news. I for one can’t take it. My mind gets stuck in the negative and I have a hard time snapping out of it. For this reason I have decided to make the theme this month “Seeing the Good”

Seeing the good is something we have to train our minds to do. Why is it so easy to go to the negative thought instead of the positive one?. I hope this month you will practice to focus on the good that exists in the world. We still need to know what is happening and keep ourselves informed but I think it will help us all to think about the good that still happens all around us
