Mother's Day Gift Bag Tutorial and Video
Hi Everyone! I was very excited to create something using the Cricut Expression 12" x 24" mat in conjunction with the 12" x 24" Bazzill cardstock that I purchased from Ohmycrafts.com. I chose to make the Gift Bag from the Cricut Tags, Bags, Boxes & More cartridge for the special girls in my life that are Moms. :) I hope you find it helpful and useful! Thanks for stopping by and looking! Be Sweet! Until next time...

That's beautiful. I didn't know bazzill made paper that big! I'll have to check that out!
Hi Gale! Thanks for looking! Bazzill is a Phoenix home grown company & even their scrapbook store does not carry it! :( Ohmycrafts.com sells it special for them usually $13.99 for 30 sheets! That is an awesome deal!:) LOL Hugs, Mona
THose are adorable. You've been busy. :)I thought I was doing good just to get pictures of the boys on their April scrapbook page that was already made. :) Maybe I'll get some time this week to work on Mother's Day cards. Yeah, right!
