Did someone mention Choklit!...

Good afternoon everyone...

Here is my latest Design Collective project for lovely 
The first thing I must say is big thank you to my lovely and talented friend Kat (who you can find HERE).  Kat inspired me to make this project when she gave me a gorgeous Halloween gift made in a very similar style.  

I have borrowed Kat's wonderful idea and made a Christmas Treat Bag.

The template for the bag is very like that which you would use for a crossover card.  That works really well because it leaves a little pocket on the front to pop a tag inside.

I have added lots of pictures which I hope will help!  (I failed totally to plan ahead here because I now realise I should have taken some pictures as I went along - oh well, perhaps I will make another one - choklit is involved after all (-;)

I have used one of the stamps from Lili of the Valley's beautiful
Santa Christmas Trio set along with a sentiment from LOTV's 

...and here we are, a little Christmas treat bag... 
(other choklits are of course available)!

    Brilliant, Sue, simply brilliant! The second best part (the choccie being the BEST part) of this treat holder is that super funny expertly colored Santa falling into the chimney! I spit my vod, er, water!! Hugs, Darnell

    I am delighted you liked the bag enough to do your own version and it's totally brilliant :-) I am slightly biased by anything with chocolate in it but it's still brilliant!
    The Santa image is perfect for this design and the jingle bells are a wonderful detail...so I bet it sounds as good as it looks!
    Funnily enough I only ever made just the one of these treat bags...and now I want to do some more after seeing your fantastic design! Ha ha, isn't it funny how the inspiration goes round in circles...I love how you and I inspire each other :-)
    Big hugs, Kat xx

    I got seriously distracted by the choklit but when I'd stopped drooling, I could admire your gift pouch properly! It's gorgeous Sue, I love the vibrant rich red and it's a fabulous design. It's a great way to use those trio images too. I love that one with his legs flailing away!
