Wrap it up...

Well, we are definitely in a rainy season.  Mother Nature is a bit confused...I don't think she realizes it is now May.  I'm really hoping for some increase in temperature in the coming week, and maybe the gardens may start to look as if it could be spring.

I've been working on spring themed cards, hoping to jump-start the season....but that hasn't worked.  So, today I'm going with a Christmas creation.  Maybe I've been going at it wrong....maybe this will send winter packing!


So, how about a gift bag, all dressed up for the holiday season!  A sweet image coloured with copics in the traditional Christmas colours of red and green.  I like the personal touch of a decorated bag, and it's a nice change from making a card.

Supplies used:
Lacy Sunshine image - Holly
Sentiment from Inkadinkado - Winter Trails
Spellbinders die -  Labels Twenty Three
Joy Craft die - Bows and Curls
Other - paper candi, button, flower and paper from my stash

 \I do believe that I really need to get started on my Christmas projects, and I can't keep waiting for the weather to change.  Thanks for visiting and do hope your weekend is grand!
