Cards are done and mailed. Gifts are wrapped. Except for 2 that I did not have a box to fit. So I decided to decorate a gift bag.
I was inspired by the color challenge at The Kraft Journal They have so many gorgeous colors in the photo

I had some scraps of blue and purple "jewel" tone papers that are colors in the wreath. The gold metallic is also from the scrapbox.. I used SU's Star Framelits to die cut all the stars. I cut a star in black to put behind the larger one for a shadow effect. The tag sentiment is from SU.
I have also used a sketch challenge from Freshly Made Sketches for my design.

That was really easy and probably a lot faster than actually wrapping.
