~ Clear and Simple Stamps Group Challenge ~ Spring Ensemble

***there is something wrong with me. I posted on the seventh, when the hop was only due on the eighth, so check the other ladies' blogs tomorrow***

Today we are having a happy hop among the CSS design team, showing gift ensemble ideas with the set-of-the-month, Spring ... and I thought, while I'm at it, I'll toss in a special method of gift-giving.

First, I have my goodies... in this case, my favorite, Bueno :)

Layers1
Bundled together with some twill ribbon, then slipped into a glassine bag, and wrapped with twine...

A little tag made with Webster's Pages scraps, and darling stamps from Spring ... this is just the first layer of wrapping (or second, if you count the twill ribbon as the first :) ...

Next:

Layers5
Stamp a paper sack using the eeek-cute raindrop border! I love that little thing so much...

The "stack" of animals were trimmed from the patterned papers used on the tag earlier... and that sentiment is also from Spring; finished off with scrunchy ribbon, baker's twine, a doily, and a on-the-catwalk-cream button.

And while I'm at it, here is another CSS project, for this week. Another bag all dressed up with a tag, using Spring.

Now... to carry on the hop... make a visit to these other lovely ladies for more Spring treats!
