TWO B's AT THE MAWTT CHALLENGE THIS WEEK !

Hi peeps - isn't it great to be blogging again!
This week's challenge at MAWTT is the lovely Brenda's choice - her initials are BB, so she would like you to use at least two items beginning with the letter B on your project.  Also, if you pop over to Brend'a Blog, she has a fab. surprise for you!
**********
So, you could maybe use Buttons, Bows, Blue, Burgers, Balls, or even Bees - (no real ones though!) Please tell us which B's you have used on your project - I can't wait to see what you come up with this week.  Do pop over to MAWTT to see the B's which the DT have used!
********
Our lovely Sponsor this week is ~
http://www.craftyemmasstore.co.uk/
and the Prize is this gorgeous Bloom and Grow garden-themed stamp set .  We hope you will join in the fun - the entries last week were amazing, as always, and thanks to everyone who took part.  
For my DT project I have made a cute little double-pocket bag for my DIL's birthday.  There is a slip-card in the front pocket, which I will personalise later, and when the bag is given to my DIL  there will be a gift voucher (from a rather nice clothing shop, at DIL's request) in the back pocket. So - a card and gift all in one!!
~ My choice of B's ~
Black, Beads, Bag, Butterflies, Bow.
  Recipe:-
Very Vanilla textured cardstock - SU.
All Papers - SU Love Letter.
Butterfly stamp - SU.
Black beads from an old necklace.
Rose Petal seam binding - Wild Orchid Crafts.
Black ribbon and eyelets - from my stash.

*******
The butterflies were stamped with Distress Inks, Spun Sugar and Tattered Rose, then cut out.
The papers were machine stitched onto the front and back of the  bag.
Four holes punched, and eyelets set, with a Provo-Craft Silent Setter.
Close-up of the back of the bag, and the slip-card.
I would like to enter the following Challenges:-
Flutterby Wednesdays -Anything But a Card.
Crafty Creations - Anything Goes.

Love to all ~ have a fabulous weekend!

Wow! Gorgeous bag Sylvia and I just love the flourishes and stitching.

I've had blogger issues too including a very weird name alteration which I've had to go and correct as I didn't notice it when I first started leaving comments.
