Spring Goody Bag

I signed up for a Spring Goody Bag swap, we had to decorate a goody bag measuring at least 4x6 in a spring theme and fill it up with goodies.
Here's what I created:
 And here it is empty:
 I started with a floral paper bag, unfolded the bottom and created a pocket with it. I covered the ugly spots with a floral paper and added a cut apart from the same paper pad. I also added the 3D butterfly and a butterfly punch. I covered the top with another cut apart from the paper pad, framing it with some floral washi, as it didn't quite cover the bag.
The back:
 I did not decorate. This is what the bag looked like.
We were supposed to fill it with a combination of handmade and store bought goodies. Here's what I included:
 Some paper straws, puffy ladybug stickers, papers, a couple paper clips i made, some butterfly eyelets, a felt lamb I made, a butterfly magnet some punched flowers and flower embellishments I bought, some cards, project life cards and washi samples.

Rainbow pocket letter

Ok, so I didn't actually make the pocket letter today, but I finished it today and didn't take a picture when I made it. I signed up for a rainbow pocket letter swap in one of my groups, we had to make sure we included color related goodies as well.
Since the rainbow is only 7 colors and a pocket letter has 9 pockets, I added black and white at the beginning and end.
 I went through my die cuts container and picked out the colors. White has a unicorn and some flowers with bling in their middles. Red has a banner, a butterfly, some bling and a crab die cut. Orange is an owl. Yellow is a flower. Green is a selection of butterflies. Blue is a cloud and an elephant. Indigo is a banner piece a scalloped circle and a butterfly. Violet is a couple flowers, a circle and a bow. Black is a tea cup with a couple bats.
The goodies:
 White is the flowers I have on the front with some foam tape. Red is bling, and some stickers. Orange is a flower die cut and some paper clips. Yellow is buttons. Green is flower punches and a magnetic bookmark. Blue is some banners and butterflies. Indigo is a blingy "E". Violet is some stickers. Black is some decorative tape. I also included the bits leftover from cutting the cards on the front.
 And I like to line my pocket letters because I have way too much paper.
I also did a card sketch from one of my groups.
Here's what we went from:
Our 2nd challenge was to use shades of green to create it.
Here's what I made:
 I like how it turned out.
And I made a Paris themed tag for Tag Tuesday:
This is not my normal kind of tag. I'm more of a vertical tag person and I don't layer a lot. I like how this turned out, though. I really like the elements I put together and how it all ended up.
