This week's challenge at SHOPPING OUR STASH is "5 a Day" we want you to use fruits or veggies somewhere on your project.
My friend Brandy would be so proud of me for this one...I broke into the Cherry-O papers that I got from her....ohhhhhhh let's see...I think it was 2010?? I love them so much that I have resisted using them...until now.
As of last summer, we now live in the Niagara Region, aka the "Fruit Belt." The area is famous for cherries and peaches. You can get amazingly fresh cherries at the farmers markets and farm stalls around town right now and they are soooooooo good! And it makes good sense to me to buy from local farmers when you can.
Hubster's birthday is coming up this week, this past weekend his parents had a family BBQ for his birthday. I made these fun BOX IN A BAG as a little gift for his mom and aunt...what am I going to put in them?? Cherries of course!!
Want to make one for yourself? They are super easy and make such cute little gifts...here's a link to the tutorial on Splitcoaststampers that I always use for these:

Awesome box in a bag, love that paper, you rocked this challenge.
So much for that... I thought you were going to use BRANDY for your 5-a-day topic. I mean brandy is a fruit, right? Especially if you inject it into cherries first.
Anyway, love that cherry paper and your box in a bag creation. I just might have to join in this swap!
Hmm, where did my comment go??? Love your little cherry bags, a very sweet gift. Thanks for playing at an OBAG, Jx
Holy moly! These l'il bags are sooooo cute, Donna! That paper is absolutely perfect!
Is that bunny new? He's so cute!
And so are your bag-boxes, or box-bags... definitely worth cutting into that paper!
Oh, I remember those bags! Aren't they fun? Your paper choice is perfect, and well, yeah, no hoarding allowed here, missy!
Now I want cherries, preferably sour ones.
lol, I love the bunny!
And I miss being able to score awesome fruit by the side of the road in the Vancouver area. Lucky we have a good farmers market! These bags are TOO CUTE and I hope you put the cherries in plastic first ;)
