New Challenge at Polkadoodles - Winnie Christmas Shopping

Good morning,

I hope you are all well and have had a lovely week.

This morning we have a new challenge at Polkadoodles Crafting. For all you lovely crafters out there the theme is 'Anything Goes, but the DT are always tasked with a challenge and this time we were asked to produce creations of 'Christmas not a Card'.

Well I scratched my head for along time over this and eventually decided to make a gift bag. 

This little sweetie is called 'Winnie Christmas Shopping', I really enjoyed colouring her up with my Distress Reinkers. I have sprinkled some white frantage around the outside of Winnie and added some Glamour Dust to the brim of her hat, the fur on her boots and the lying snow. If colouring is not your thing, you can also buy her pre-coloured.

The papers are from Winnie White Christmas Paper 1 kit. The Winnie White Christmas Big Kahuna kit is so worth the money, you get oodles of goodies, from papers, to pre-coloured digis, black and white digis, embellishments, alphabets, toppers, Christmas foliage, design sheets, black and white accessories and word art. 

It doesn't show up very well in the picture, but I've added some twinklets to the ice crystals and rose which gives them a lovely icy/frosty look.

Attached to the handle on the right hand side is a bauble which I printed out from the embellishments section of the Winnie White Christmas Big Kahuna.  I've added some silver stickles to the top of it to bling it up. The sentiment is also from the sentiments collection in the Big Kahuna.

The rose, pine cones, pom pom trim, pearl trim,  pink seam binding, jingle bells and beautiful lace are from the Ribbon Girl.

The beautiful wine glass charm was a gift from a lovely crafty friend.
