Extravaganza 3 - today's the day

Well my team (The Creative Inkers) is holding our 3rd extravaganza of the year. This time as well as providing lots of fun & kreativity; as this one is all about Christmas we're fund raising for the Woman's Refuge as well.

My sister Tracey & myself were in charge of the box project (per usual) & this time it's a Gift Box in a Bag - even my Pete has given it his tick of approval with the words that's its not too bad - this is high praise from him (believe me).

So for the 75 ladies attending I hope you do have fun & for the 11 helpers/demos I hope tonight comes real fast!

Another Box in a Bag

These are so cool I made my latest effort with my favourite DSP Summer Picnic - the finished bag is so beautiful we decided it didn't need any embellishments.

Card stock: Real Red, Summer Picnic DSP
Other: Round tab punch, 1/8" hand held circle punch, slit punch, Sticky strip, olive grosgrain ribbon

Doesn't it look good enough to eat?

NOTE: Just a wee reminder this DSP is in the spring mini catalogue which expires November 30, so if you want some make sure you order it before then. It's a real bargain at $13.95 for 12 sheets of 12x12".
