Festive Gift/Gift Bag

 Good morning and I hope this finds you well. Lorraine chose the theme this time for our group.

I made three gift bags for my nephew's children at Christmas and I showed one of them last month. I thought this would be an ideal time to show the other two.

My Projects

It's very easy to buy gift bags from a shop but his way they get something unique to them.

I used papers and toppers from Dovecraft "Winter Wonderland."  I also made matching envelopes to add a money gift.  As I said last time my sister always made up gift bags for her grandchildren  and so after we lost her I carried on the tradition. I fill them with lots of small gifts and sweets etc but give them money for their main gift. As growing kids I think it is much better for them to buy something they really want rather than end up with something totally unsuitable. I haven't had children myself so am totally unable gauge what they would want.

Take care and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

 

 

Anything But a Card at IAAS

 Happy New Year to all my friends and fellow bloggers.  Hopefully you have enjoyed your Christmas time.If you celebrated New Year then I hope you enjoyed that too.  Me?  I went to bed! 😉😊😄

I chose the theme this time at IAAS and as you see  I went with "Anything but a Card."

My Project

 For my great niece and great nephews  I decorated plain kraft gift bags. I used papers and toppers from Dovecraft "Winter Wonderland."  I also made a matching envelope to add a money gift.  My sister always made up gift bags for her grandchildren  and so after we lost her so suddenly a few years ago I took over the job so that the kids didn't miss out. They were all different so I will show the others in a later post.

Why not pop over to the blog and check out what the rest of the team made for this challenge?

Take care.
