I have a guy birthday coming up next week and I thought this would be the a great opportunity to make up a gift bag.  I did it very simply with a brown paper bag and the On the Fly stamp set from MFP, and the sentiment comes from the Buffalo Spring stamp set.  I stamped the fish on the bag with Kraft color ink and colored the gift tag with Copic markers, finishing it up with a green satin bow.I
