Christmas is in the Bag

Oh how I wish that statement was true! I have a long way to go to say that for sure this year. But I made a Christmas bag for one of my gifts for Day 3 of CIJ at Catch the Bug.

The challenge was anything but a card using non-traditional colors. So with the twins I used an Ava and Deacon image and made a gift bag that I can use for one or both of them. The image is Ava and Deacon Christmas - HoHo colored with Copic markers. The tag is a banner die from Lawn Fawn. I added some ric rac and used Diamond Stickles to sparkle it up. The stamping on the bag is from Altenew Halftone Holidays stamp set.
I am entering these challenges:

• Catch the Bug CIJ: anything but a card in non-traditional colors
• Crafting by Designs: recycle, reuse, repurpose (old bag and ric rac from another garment)
• Bugaboo Crafty: use a Bugaboo image
• Hiding in my Craft Room: Christmas in July
• Crafty Hazelnut Christmas: anything goes; use a die cut
• Crafty Hazelnut Christmas Extra: anything goes Christmas

Thanks for stopping by today. I had a blast yesterday going to swim class with the twins. Today is their last day of swim class. I'm watching them this evening so I'll find out how they did today. Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!
