Christmas Gift pouch

Happy Holidays everyone!

We are giving our daughter some money as well as presents for Christmas and so I thought it would be nice to create a little gift pouch to put the money in. It was very easy to make, just folding the card over and making it slightly shorter at the front. Open the top and there is another fold that I've stuck down the sides with double sided tape so it's like a little wallet to keep the money safe inside. I'm hoping she likes it but I'm sure she will as she loves these Hannah Lynn images from Crafts & Me. I'm not quite sure why the skin has come up a bit odd as it doesn't look like that in real life.

Hannah Lynn Christmas card

Hi, it's me again, most of you will probably be sick of seeing my cards this month as I seem to have had some crafting time on my hands it would seem lol, sorry about that if you're being made to comment from a DT somewhere (I won't tell anyone if you don't do it so please don't unless you really want to - I do love comments, but I love the genuine ones best). 

I must say Loves Rubberstamps girls leave such sweet comments and I thank you all so much as I look forward to reading them. Thank you to all that leave such lovely comments on my cards or follow me, it's made me enjoy my crafting even more! I wish you all a very Merry Christmas.
