My Trader Joe's bags were begging to be recycled...
and recycling I did...
Now, with the $7 per gift I saved between wrapping paper and card...
I can buy myself a bouquet of those gorgeous peonies they have for sale!...

That looks so great! I love to reuse my Trader Joe bags! Love the cards you made!
how clever is that...and your packages look wonderful!!!
I love your packages! They are like gifts themselves! My favorite is the all brown one with the sweet layered embellishment! I just may have to borrow your idea. And it's a good excuse to go back to Trader Joe's!
Nice use of the 3 R's...Recycle the bags and Reuse them as gift wrap then Reward yourself with peonies!!
I am so amazed at your recycling. Using the bags was an awesome idea!
Have I told you lately what a genius you are? These are lovely and you my dear...so clever. I love to see what you will come up with next!

You always amaze me with the way that little creative mind of yours never, ever stops! I just bought myself a big bunch of sunflowers Saturday night from Trader Joes. I LOVE that store.
Take care, Sue
NO Country Roads for 4 whole days!!!
Very clever, Marcela. You totally deserve those peonies!!!
I did this same sort of thing with paper Ikea bags. :) Used the paperbag part to make gift paper. And then I used the handle to attach to my upcycled cereal boxes turned tote bags. :) Hope you are having a great week. Tammy
Very creative.
I will adapt that for shops we have around here.
Lovely idea. Thanks so much for sharing it.
Absolutely brilliant!
Love this idea!

Wow! The "bags" look fabulous! I always love when gals like you use items you wouldn't normally think of to use and then create something beautiful out of them!

That is great idea. I have pulled apart a paper grocery bag once when I needed bworn paper to ship somethinn overseas. Love the rosette.
love the idea!! when my kids were young, we wrapped all gifts with brown paper bags that they put their "art" on. not as pretty as yours, but adorable kids creations. visiting you from old grey mare.

Wonderful! I just found out about Project Genesis and had to stop by and see everyone's ideas. Your wrapping is much more beautiful than anything found in a store and good for the environment on top of it!
I've never seen a grocery bag look so good! I had to do a double take and make sure that was really what you used!
Brilliant!

The gift bags look great. I like to make my own cards and sometimes wrap a gift in a new tea towel.
