By the Cute & Girly - Challenge 2

This month over at By the Cute and Girly we decided on a theme of Winter Wonderland. I had an idea that I would try and make something other than a card but couldn't think of what to do. In the end I came up with a wacky idea of making a little gift bag using laminating pouches. I matted and layered my papers before laminating them and then punched holes and tied it all together with coordinating ribbons. I added a bit of the offcuts of the laminated sheet to make a handle, once again punching holes and threading ribbon through, and then added my gorgeous tilda image after colouring her in with my promarkers.

I then went on to make a matching card but using my new Woodware ribbon punch (see I just have trouble not making a card!!!)

I hope you like it and I hope that you will once again join us as we love seeing your creatons.

I am entering this into the following challenges
