Here we go again - Julia's blog is here if you want to snoop round a few arty crafty desks out there in blogland ...

My desk is quite a hive of activity today with a number of projects on the go ...

The Christmas altered paper bag that was mentioned last week is finished and at the back there - you can see it in more detail here.

A half finished mini album at the back on the right ... a small pile of 'intriguing' ATCs in front of the bag, but can't show these in close up yet as they're another surprise swap ... and in the front a 'picture wallet' I am making my brother for Christmas. That hould be finished before next week with the photographs in it - hopefully.

Altered Paper Bag

This is the completed altered paper bag that I mentioned in my previous post ...

I have used Kaisercraft patterned paper from the 'Tis the Season' collection, Martha Stewart edge punch, poinsettia stamps from Paperartsy and some bits of tinsel and ribbon from my stash. 

The poinsettia stamps have been curled a little and layered and sprayed with Iridescent Gold glimmer mist for a bit of sparkle. There's a couple of brads and some German scrap on there too. 

As I only have the 6" paper the back is covered with something toning I found in my stash ... the tags on the back are from the Kaisercraft collection ...

I am entering this in the Tuesday Try It On challenge 'Christmas Sparkle'.
