Hello! Continuing with the back-to-school theme, I am always looking at ways to add some pizazz to my daughter’s lunch box. I do know she loves to receive hand-made notes/cards tucked in her lunch bag so I took this idea one step further. All you need are some paper scraps and a standard kraft lunch bag.
Trim the lunch bag in half lengthwise. Fold so that you end up with a matchbook type mini book. Just decorate and have fun! I used Laina Lamb’s journaling spots…they are perfect to use for this project. Thank you Laina!
To keep the booklet together I used a paper clip around the front flap. You also have the option of making small tags and tucking then into the top pockets for more interaction.
Supplies: Pattern paper/embellishment- Basic Grey, Hero Arts stamps, Marvy Uchida punches
Hope you enjoyed these back-to-school ideas! Have a wonderful week! ~ Virginia

I just wanted to say I was so inspired by your project that I ran to my scrap desk and made one for my daughter. Thanks for the inspiration!
