Cute bag!
While I was making a mini album for a gift I realized that I needed a cute little bag to put it in.
So, after trying this and that, I ended up with...
Isn't it pretty? Here's how I did it (no measurements unfortunately because it was an experiment, I had no idea what I would end up with!).
1. I took a 12 inches paper and used my ruler diagonally to mark the base of the bag. Then I cut about 2-3 inches along the mark lines on each corner. Finally I cut a piece of the flaps on the left and on the right.
2. I glued the flaps.
3. Then I glued the center strip, folded it inwards and glued that piece as well.
4. Here's the result after doing both corners.
5. I also reinforced the top of the bag with two strips of paper because I didn't want it to be torn. Not that the mini album is that heavy but better be safe than sorry!
6. I also reinforced the bottom corners.
7. I embellished the top with a border punch.
8. I punched a hole on the corner, added a gromlet and then added a bow on the inside to hide the back side of the gromlet.
What do you think of it?
That's it for now, I hope you're all well and thriving!

Just a little christmas crafting
Hello hello!
I wanted to wrap a present for a friend's birthday gift but I was too lazy to go and buy some wrapping paper, so I used my craft stash to make something and I came up with a ... gift basket. LOL!
I also made a l little tag/card for my wishes, I don't know what stamp it is, I actually found the stamped image in my stash (maybe from last year's crop?) and colored it.
That's all for now, I don't have any step by step photos because I just did it haphazardly in 10', without a pattern etc, I just did what came into my mind. I will make another one and take detailed photos, I promise!
Hope you're all well and thriving!

Hello darlings!
Hello hello hello darlings, I know it's been AGES since I dissapeared, but, things happen, then I lost my mojo, then, well, I haven't actually found it but I 'm coming around slowly.
My first project after sooo long seemed like a true feat to me, I didn't know what I had in my stash (or where exactly was everything) or how to use it (lol!). So, after a lot of search and trial and error, I managed to finish this:
It is a tumbler from Starbucks, the one that has a sort of template paper inside so that you can personalize it, it costs about €9, I thought it would be a nice idea for a cheap but cute gift for a friend of mine.
Don't ask me how I did it, it is all a blur, I remember stamping like crazy, using distress inks like a lunatic and addding TONS of glittery stuff, trust me, it was SCARY!
The actual finished project:
And a close up (lovely Sarah Kay):
That's it for now, I hope you 're all well and thriving, see ya (hopefully in this century!).

Award!
and I will pass it on to the following crafter neighbours and friends (in random order):
for the inspiration and the encouragement they generously give me.
It goes without saying that there are many many more friends and crafters that I would like to thank but it would take me hours...LOL!
Sleep tight and sweet dreams
