Got plain gift bag-itis?

Tonight, I sent my main man out to buy me gift bags.  He hit up the good ol' Dollar Tree but he came back with REALLY ugly bags.  They were not Christmas-y in the least.  Nope.  Not at all!  They were plain navy blue.  Huh?  What's a girl do do?  The presents need to be taken to school tomorrow morning and I have ugly gift bags. 


Well, thank goodness for my Cricut!  I could seriously kiss it at times like these.  I cut out some circles in 3 different sizes and some snow flakes using some scrapbook paper I had, grabbed some buttons and leftover ribbon and ended up with some pretty cute bags if I do say so myself!  I even used spray adhesive which made it super fast (and super sticky!).  In it the secretaries will find a cute Christmas mug, a snowman ornament and some peppermint bark.


I made snowmen out of the circles and layered the snowmen with the snowflake cutouts from my Cricut.  Then I added buttons for eyes and down the front, a ribbon for a scarf and painted on a nose and some black dots to form a cute happy face for our snowman.  Cute, no?
