Loaded destash bags

I signed up for a loaded destash bag swap in one of my facebook groups. Basically, you took a lunch bag, decorated it, and filled it with destash items. 
Here's what I made:
 I just took the cut aparts from the Pink Passport paper pad from Hobby Lobby and added them on the bag. The background is from the Newsworthy paper pad. The 'lovely day' piece at the bottom was from a swap.
Other side
 I LOVE how this came out. This girl was in the cut aparts for the Pink Passport paper pad. The trim at the bottom is vintage from a yard sale. The butterfly gems are from Dollar Tree. The flower in her hair is from a swap as are the pearl snowflakes on the side.
The second one:
 I'll admit, I wasn't sure how to decorate this one. The background paper is from the Fruit Tart paper pad from Hobby Lobby. I trimmed it wrong, so I just added some green striped washi to finish covering the bag and a 'wish' puffy sticker.
I just added some fruity buttons and paper pieces to it.

Loaded Destash Envelope swap

I signed up for a loaded destash envelope on one of my facebook groups. We were to decorate a 5x9 or larger envelope and fill it with destash items.
Here's what I created:
 The background is from the Newsworthy paper pad from Hobby Lobby. The lace is from my stash. The paper didn't exactly cover the whole envelope, there was a tiny gap of envelope showing once I glued it down. I glued a piece of ribbon over it and added vintage buttons. The lady is from that Newsworthy pad as well. I also added the tiny wooden ruler I got in a swap to the bottom. If I was planning better, I would have done this to the back, and added a pocket to the other side.
Here's the back:
 I just added some more of the ladies from that paper pad.
Here's how I closed the top:
I used some scraps of paper from that paper pad, glued them to some binder clips, added some pearl bling and clipped them on the top.
We had a list of things we had to include:
15 stickers or 1 sheet, 3 embellishments, 6 pieces of patterned paper, 2 paper clips, 1 shiny thing, 15 die cuts and 2 pieces of ribbon 14 inches or longer, plus anything else we wanted to add.
Here's what I included:
Here's what I got from my partner:

 Goodies:
I'm a little disappointed, not only was it not the right size, I also feel she didn't include the minimum of what we were supposed to include.
