and I'm working all weekend - Booo! Hiss!!
However, before I go I must show my card for our challenge at Bah! Humbug! This week our theme is Fabric. Hmm, something a little different and maybe more challenging perhaps. I had so many thoughts for this including altering one of my thousands of bags for life into something far more Christmassy, but in the end I decided to make a card for a crafting friend.
My original idea was to use an organza bag as part of the card and fill it with charms for her to use in her craft projects, but the bags I had were either too big or too small so in the end the bag has just one item in it - a wine glass charm ring. This way she can either use it on a glass or pull it apart and use the tiny corkscrew (how cute is that?) and beads on cards, etc. I think she will love it.
To attach the bag I punched two holes in the front of the card and then threaded and tied the bag strings inside. Then I added a ribbon to jazz up the front and hide the fact I made the holes too big - must do better next time!
I matt and layered the other papers on top after cutting an apperture in the front of each one and added a die cut frame to draw the eye to the focal point of the bag. Bling and silver peel offs and sentiment finish the card off.

Have a good weekend everyone whether you are working or playing - it's all good!
