12 x 12 Tote...

...GOOD-BYE GIFT...
Happy Friday everyone! Hope everyone is excited for the long Labor Day weekend! I will be in Maui playing a soccer co-ed tournament. Wish me luck! lol! Well, yesterday I featured my pink, green and brown card and so I wanted to share with you the other things I made for one of the law clerk's who left. I wanted to make her a lei...pink and brown and wanted to give her some other goodies to go with it. I didn't want to just give it to her in a plastic bag, so I decided to make a little purse that I learned from 1LuvnMama.
here is what my purse looked like. It's one sheet of 12" x 12" DP. I used my MS border punch, PTI ribbon for the handles and added a flower and sentiment.

here's how much space there is when the purse is opened...

Okay everyone...enjoy and be safe!

“All who humble themselves before the Lord shall be given every blessing and shall have wonderful peace. (Psalm 37:11)”

Be Blessed,

A friend is better than money in the purse...

We were so blessed to have been able to hang out and spend time with each other, but also that we had the talented Mama teach us how to make this oh so adorable purse! it takes one 12" x 12" sheet of DP. I think this was the easiest thing to make. I really want to use it as my purse when I go out...LOL! so pretty yah!

so with that I really was determined to try and make another purse, but in a smaller version. I decided on 9" x 9" sheet of DP. here's what mine looks like...

I also decided to make a divider inside this purse. I wanted to give some images and other goodies, so I decided to make two compartments. it worked out pretty well.

I also wanted to make a card to go with the purse. I really wanted to ink up my new Spotlight GF image...she's so cute...but I decided to alter her and use Stella's body instead. I made the card a 4" x 4" size and used crystal effects on her headband, heart and shoes. I even added a heart charm...gotta love those charms! here's the size comparison to the purse we made and the purse I made. I think they both came out pretty sweet!
here we are showing off our purses...aren't they just the prettiest thing! gotta say that this was a pretty fun picture...thanks ladies!
