Some Great News

Do you follow the Celebrate the Occasion blog?
It is one of my favorite challenge blogs.  If you have been following my blog you know I love a challenge!
I have been selected for their new Design Team!  I am VERY excited about this opportunity.  I am really looking forward to the chance to create for them.  Leave me a comment and tell me if you are a current follower of the blog or if you are going to become one now!

For the Design Team call we were asked to create something with a birthday theme.  I wanted to do something different than a card so I created a gift bag to put a birthday gift in.  Actually, I created a few but stay tuned for more in the next couple of weeks!

I used the Celebrations cartridge to cut the party hat and tag.
I cut several "pom poms" for the top of various sizes to layer them.

The tag is cut using the tag feature on the cartridge.

I embossed using a texture plate and then lightly sanded for added texture.

I added this border to the side because the bag was white and plain.

The sentiment is from Stampin Up. 
Make sure to check out my 300 follower give away- I am only about 50 people short of the goal!!!
