Top Tip Tuesday...


Over on Bah! Humbug! it's Top Tip Tuesday and it was my turn to add some tips.  Do pop over there, if you have time, to see what it's all about.  To accompany my tip I altered this plain red gift bag and made it into something with a bit more glitz and glamour. 
The central snowflake is a Cuttlebug die and of course I used nesties to create the scalloped and plain circles for the matting and layering.  The tag is also a Spellbinder die.
My bag is also for the challenges at...
Have a great day everyone.

This is fabulous Ann, what a great idea. I didn't go to Tesco for my food shop yesterday, went to the Co-op instead doh! Our Tesco may not have had that bargain though - we don't always get the same bargains up here :(

What a lovely idea Ann to add the snowflake to the gift bag. Very classy. Must remember that as I have quite a few coloured gift bags but they are all packed away at the moment.

Hope work is going okay.

Good use of a plain bag! Very good idea, one that I will definitely use in the future!

Wow Ann, that's amazing, turns the bag completely around from 'a bag' to 'a posh bag'. Well done. Hugs xx
