Fun Gift Bag For Knitting

I'm not sure whether I get more pleasure from making gifts or from wrapping them!

After finishing the knitting - a lovely hat, the pattern for which you can find HERE

Next I stamped a piece of kraft paper, using Penny Black stamps, from the 'Nine Lives' set. This set is a favourite of mine...the heart is from another unrelated set.

Next I folded a gift bag using an empty cereal box that was a good size for the hat.

I folded it flat so that it looks like a gift bag

And in went the hat, wrapped in tissue paper

Some holes in the top of the bag allowed me to tie ribbon through and attach a gift tag to.

For the gift tag I used an image from the Penny Black set 12 Days Of Christmas. This set cracks me up! I could not find it on the Penny Black site, so I think it may be discontinued. The link is to Amazon.

Seeing as the project features knitting, I thought the 'Turtle Dove' perfect for my gift!

I sure hope my friend likes and enjoys her gift!

Here is my page : missing one picture. I journalled instead, as the memory stick with the picture on, died in my computer...ugh...still can't figure out if there is a way to revive it.

The Smell of Orange Blossoms

Do you know what they smell like? The most wonderful of fragrances, one of the smells of my youth, full of memories. That is what comes back to me when I look at Rina Kroes' latest Page Set "The Bells of St Clements" remember to check the Doorbuster sales over at Scrapbook-Elements for additions pieces to the St Clements Collection!

For today and Monday you can still buy the Page Set as a separate Paper and Elements pack, in Rina's Doorbuster sale.

Fresh, clean and fragrant. Invigorating. That is what it stands for!

Now if you zip on over to Rina's Blog, you'll find a beautiful QP freebie by Kabra posted for you there,
