Day 3 challenge at catch the Bug Holiday chaos

Hi there I am here with Day 3 of the holiday Chaos at catch the bug and this time they want us to make a Gift or gift holder.

Well I have some older members of the family that I give either vouchers or money to.

So what better than to make a special gift money pouch

 have used these cute bear which have been coloured with my promarkers available in the shop HERE

DP papermania again just love this paper and will be sad when all used up.

Gold mirri card

Corner rounder

Chipboard which I have used some twine and stuck under the image which wraps round and then wraps round the chipboard to fastern close. 

A large gem for the centre of the chipboard

A little stamped Dec25th do not open

Well thats another done think always looks a bit better than just some money put in a card dont you.

Well thanks for popping by.

Hope you have been joining in today is the last day and sadly dont think i will manage to catch up on all the challenges time has beaten me this year as i spent most of the day back and forth to the garage as my car failed its mot and the parts that it failed should have been picked up on the service 3 weeks ago but wasnt. So I will need to find a new garage to get it serviced as he has now lost my business after 13 years. Sad as I thought he did a good job but looks like he is cutting corners.

The bag is a DL bag for your cards that I rolled down. Made a top with some shimmer cream card and added a off cut of paper and a snowflake and gem. The other is a cone make with some cellophane 

Images coloured with promarkers

Twine for the cone.

They are filled with oats and some tiny stars and red glitter

The images are 'Reindeer Food' by Pickled Potpourri
