Cardz TV Design Team Challenge #2

Challenge #2 is called "Crafty Christmas"! Make a card, tag, home decor item, mini album, candy or gift container...any crafty project you'd like for Christmas!
 For my project I made this treat bag using Tags, Bags, Boxes and More Cricut Cartridge.  The paper I used is from DCWV (Christmas Stack from last year).  The flowers are from my stash so not sure where they are from but I would bet it is Michaels.  I filled the bag with some assorted chocolates. These are very simple to make and everyone in my office just loves getting treats!
