Skateboard Andy Gift Set

Good Morning! Hope you are all ok and having a good week.

It's my turn to share some inspiration over at Gems of Inspiration.

My lovely little Grandson Bradley, started school in September and just recently he has been going to lots of his classmates birthday parties. My Daughter Sam, his Mum spends a fortune on gift bags and cards. So I got to thinking and here's what I came up with. A matching gift bag and card set. The bag I used was actually one that some crafty stash came in but I do know that you can buy them from most discount shops.

The image is from a wonderful deoupage sheet, Skateboard Andy from Pink Gem Designs. Aww! he is adorable and so easy to cut out. The cute little sentiment also comes on the sheet. 

The best bit is you can print out lots of the decoupage sheets and papers to make however many bags and card sets you need. 

The papers are so gorgeous aren't they? They are from two of Janet's scrummy Colour Collections which each come in twenty colours. I used Chevron Digi Papers & Micro Dots Digi Papers  

Here's a close up of the bag....

....and card.

Before I go, make sure you pop over and check out Pink Gem Designs our lovely and super talented Janet has added some gorgeous digi's and also lots of scrummy stash.

Hope you all have a really great day.
