What's Cookin' at H2H!

The challenge this week at H2H is to incorporate a recipe of some sort into your art. I have to admit that this one took me a while to come up with something to make. I was thinking of a recipe book or layout with pictures and a recipe but I was also wanting to make something that was a bit different and unique. I finally came up with an idea I thought would be fun, unique and useful. I call it "Recipe for Happy Trails".

We do a lot of outside activities in our family so I made this fun envelope bag to pack up snacks for the hikes or bike rides. It will carry some nuts, raisins, crackers and M&M's. What's a happy journey without snacks right?

The bag is made with a shipping envelope. Just cut off the top to make it square, score the three folded sides 2 inches, open the envelope and fold on the score lines. Tuck under the flaps at the bottom and you've got yourself a bag. It was lots of fun to make and I know the users will love it and the contents :)
