Gift Bag

Hello, it feels like ages, and certainly has been, since I last posted.  Been on holiday and this weather has made me get outdoors and do more outside.  We had an enjoyable time in the caravan but with it being so hot we could not travel far in the car because the dogs panted and refused to walk until the cool of the evening or early morning.  Good job I am an early bird or they would not have been walked very far.  While on one caravan site we met a lovely couple with twin boys aged six, Robert and Duncan, and Hannah their five year old sister.  They were from Spean Bridge and were a delightful family. The children visited the dogs each day and when they came back from their outings their first port of call was to tell me all about their day and spoil the dogs.  I really enjoyed meeting them and was sad when they left.

But back to normality now and my friend loved the wedding day card and her granddaughters birthday card.  I was in such a rush to make the 18th birthday card for her that I forgot to photograph it.  Another friend ask me to make a big gift bag for her friend's birthday and this is what I came up with.  Had to really push myself to get back into crafting but this is what I came up with, so loved it. When I buy dies I usually play about with them using different papers and this is what I used to produce this bag

 

The bag measures 13" x 10" but cannot remember where I bought it Hobbycraft  I think.

the card was used from my stash when I tried the dies

Peel off sentiment

 

So maybe this is the push I need to get started back into crafting.  I really need to build up my stock and start on Christmas cards which I really love making.  I have commented sporadically on your posts but will get back into my routine now the warm weather seems to have disappeared. 

 

That's it ladies and gents for tonight may have more for tomorrow.  Can't wait for your honest and welcome comments .

 

Take care.
