Any Occasion Gift Bag

Good morning everyone.  It definitely feels like winter is here, which I guess it should be considering it's nearly December.  I'm not a winter person, much preferring milder temps, but thankfully we are still without the white stuff.  I've just about got all my 'snow' insurance complete.....meaning I have new winter boots, the snow blower is ready, and my car is getting it's snow tires installed.  I like to think that if I do all of these preparations, then the snow won't happen!  Sometimes it works.


As I'm basically now in hibernation mode, it does give me time for some crafting, and as it's also time for gift giving.....I thought I'd dress up another gift bag.  As you can see, I've used some Christmas colours and sparkle, but I've played with a non-Christmas image, so this can be used at any time for any occasion.


Here's a close up of the image....such a sweetie and coloured with copics.  A bit of liquid pearls for the jewels in her hair and necklace.

Supplies used:
Saturated Canary image -  Pricilla Pie
Spellbinders dies - Deckled Rectangles, Fleur de Lis Rectangles, and Fancy Framed Tags Two
Martha Stewart around the page punch - Eyelet Lace
Misc - brads, flowers and some sparkly card stock

Thanks once again for stopping by, and I do hope Mother Nature is treating you kindly.

  8. Such a cutie Joyce, a beautiful bag. Can't believe you're now ready for snow. We are still away and it's been quite cool and raining a fair bit but we are hoping for some sun tomorrow. At home it is very wet, luckily no flooding in our area.
    Have fun with your crafting.
    Hugs Brenda xxx
