Hi – on a very hot evening – where it’s above 30 degrees here!!

I’ve made a couple of Christmas cards this week and now I’ve made a Christmas gift bag – even though it’s been really hot and as unlike Christmas as it could be.   Since I was a little girl blue has been my favourite colour – so I went for a blue bag as an alternative to the traditional Christmas colours.   I kept it simple – with just the addition of some die cuts and a sentiment.   I used a bought gift bag as a model to make my bag – just changed the size a bit.   I used a double sided ribbon in turquoise and lime – again to make a change from traditional colours – and added a pop of red with the sentiment tag.

What I used –

Dies – Holiday Floral Spray – Cottage Cutz,   pine branches – Leane Creatief, poinsettias.     Paper from Nitwits.    Sentiment from DSB.   Ribbon and gems from my stash

I would like to enter my project into these challenges –
