Well i was going to moan about the weather on my post today but while i was faffing around trying to get some decent pics of today's creations the sun managed to come out. How long for, i don't know but it's certainly not the heatwave stuff. The funniest thing is that on the news yesterday morning they gave out a heatwave helpline number. It was quite chilly and I envisaged loads of workers falling asleep waiting for someone to ring up and say "I'm hot, what shall i do?", lol. Anyway here's a little bag and box i made to go with mums birthday pressies.
There are details of how to make the bag on a previous post
HERE, and more info on the little box HERE.
All they took was one 12 x12 piece of K & CO. paper and a piece of A4 card.
I used a 2" circle punch and cut the circles in half for the corners and my little eyelet tool came out for an airing.
I got the little heart embellishment from The Works, £1 for six. The bag and box are not as big as they look in the pics, the bag is 4" tall ) so it will be a bit of a challenge finding something to put in them. Perhaps a trip to Thorntons and a mooch around Crabtree and Evelyn's trial sizes tomorrow.
Edit, to anyone who's looking at that bag and thinking " if only", please have a go, it's so very easy.

At first glance I thought they were real as well, clever you. Yes, the bag does look quite big & I was surprised when you said it was only 4" tall. Is that cute or what, your mum will absolutely love them.
