It is just a huge granny square turned into a bag.....I have lined it and decorated with the pompoms and some crochet flowers.

Happiness

Hello to you all...

Wow what has happened to our spring,I woke up to a covering of snow this morning and it is so cold...My card share today uses an Itty Bitty stamp from Unity Stamps, I have just stamped and embossed this directly onto the backing paper which is from Hot off the Press. I have decided I need to use up the endles papers that have accumulated. The sentiment has been gold embossed onto black card and just tucked behind.xxx

The sentiment was then white embossed .
