Diamonds Challenge (Sweet Sassy Diva)

Hi!  Lori here from ScrappinMyStressAway and I am super excited to Design today!  This week at Sweet Sassy Diva, the challenge is to use a Diamond in your project.  I made a gift bag for a very special little girl.  I have a new little baby girl who will be coming to my daycare in a couple of months.

Tanner and I are holding Baby Grayson ~ isn't she beautiful!  Her big sister loves Elephants and has a special lovey that is a pink elephant.  Mom picked out a Giraffe for Grayson so I decided to make a Giraffe gift bag to hold her gift from me.

I picked the Giraffe from Create A Critter and the coordinating Kite (aka diamond).  I put the layers of the giraffe on my mat sized at 3.24 inches.

Instead of using the top layer with the round spots on it, I copied a second middle layer and added hearts as my spots.  I did not weld, instead I grouped the hearts (George and Basic Shapes, variety of sizes) with the giraffe body so they hearts would cut out.

I added some grass from Paper Doll Dress Up sized to 1.73 inches.

I added a sun from Create A Critter and some clouds from April Showers.

I used yellow, pink, green and blue cardstock to cut out the pieces.

I used some ink, pop dots and stickles to add some dimension.

Here is my gift bag ready to stuff full of goodies!!  

Thanks for having me over today Bobbi Jo!!
