Hi all, I apologise for not being around but I caught a stomach virus, I will be reading all my e-mails today and coming to visit, until then I thought you might like to see my little gift bag, I found this tutorial on Vicki's blog, Stamp Smiles, she calls it a bagalope as it is made from an envelope.
I found some spare yellow envelopes and used one as the bag, I followed the tutorial and used an EK border punch for the top, I have used one of the new vintage images from Pink Gems and coloured her with Copics, I have used Joanna Sheen tapestry embossed black card, gold linen effect card, paper from Ooh La La new CD, yellow organza bow, one of my own double layered crochet flowers, paper clip and sentiment.
My son James will be giving this bag to my sister for her birthday filled with some of my crochet flowers.
I would like to enter my project into the following challenges:
I hope that you like my gift bagalope and have enjoyed your visit I will see you soon.
