Pencil/Pen Holder

FCCB Challenge #10: Bags Bonanza; Black
Well, this was a challenge! I didn't have the Gypsy that I usually borrow this week so I had to be creative without it. This was really limiting. I only had one cartridge with any kind of bag. I found this bag on my Plantin SchoolBook Cricut cartridge and decided to make my mom a pencil holder for her desk. I cut out the bag with black paper to complete the rest of the challenge (using something black). I added a bow using the Sweethearts Cricut cartridge. I just love making flowers these days so I added my black and white flowers using the Plantin SchoolBook Cricut cartridge. I put a pink gem in the middle for a punch of color. I filled the bag with pinto beans and added the pencils: I was happy with the results:) Have a great weekend everyone!
