More and more purses...oh my

here are more...I went into production on these cute bags. I might be addicted to cute things if you would like to help me unload them they are 5.50/per. Let me know what style you want or if you would like a custom purse that can be arranged as well. You can also find them on my artfire page.

Halloween Treat Bag

Okay so I am obsessed with purses, what of it! This is a fun gift bag based on a lunch bag well this one is a little smaller and black but you get the idea. This project I made for an upcoming class super easy to duplicate for any occasion. What a fun favor bag this would make for a party. This bag has a Velcro dot closure so it can be used again and again. Stay tuned for measurements and instruction.

Build A Bear Party Favor

This is so dang cute. I covered a mini composition book with Whisper White Cardstock and stamped the build a bear image on the cover the pack contains 4 crayons so the kids can dress the bear as they see fit and place him/her in the setting they want it to be in. Also included is a mini bottle of bubbles a compass and a couple pieces of candy. If I had it on hand I would have used a black ribbon to tie off the bag but the first week of school has enough running to the store that I didn't bother. These favor bags are heading to school with Ally to share with her new classmates for her birthday this Friday. The boys get a boy bear and the girls get the one you see hear. This is a great new stamp set that is one of several items that are Build A Bear, Ally was so excited when she saw them in the new Mini Catalog that she squealed and wanted them all for her birthday.

Live With Passion

This is my latest creation...so it looks like somethin was nibblin at my flower I guess I should have looked at the flower before I started to watercolor it! This is a card I am doing for a Super Saturday for a friend. If you want this card kit I would be more then happy to put a few more together.
I used one of my favorite stamp sets for this one...Inspired by Nature (111656, $23.95). The card kit is just $1.50 and that includes an envelope so if you want to do it at home you will want to buy the stamp set but if you want to come and hang out with me you can borrow my stamp set! It is very sad that I have to bribe my friends to come and visit me but there you have it!

Reduce- Reuse -Recycle

For the environmentally conscious stamper I know you are looking for what to do with the cast off rubber from all of those stamps that you mounted...need I say more?

Purse-onel Note Book

This is just ridiculously cute if I do say so myself...and I do. Once again just a little composition book. Covered in Designer Series Paper and closed with amazingly cute hardware. This notebook would make a great door prize, party favor or thank you gift...but don't tell Jennifer cuz she is gettin this one! So fun to give gifts that make you giggle. I used 1" wide grosgrain ribbon for the purse handles although I would have used one a bit thinner if I had it on hand. I have lined the inside of the covers with a coordinating Designer series paper to cover up the glued in ribbon and the brad backs. So cute inside and out!
I would like to give credit to Becky for the inspiration on turning this notebook on it's side to make it into a purse. Here is her project...http://inkingidaho.blogspot.com/2009/08/tiny-composition-notebook-tutorial.html Becky is brilliant you should check out her blog.

My little purse book

I made this so I would always have a place to write a note or thought or shopping list. Well always until I fill it up and need to make another. The base of this project is a mini composition book, you can find these pretty much anywhere office supplies are sold...Walmart to Walgreens. This is a great project to pull out the scraps for. Cut pieces for the front and back apply with lots and lots of Snail or use a glue stick! :) Sand around the edges...this will actually help get the edges down better as well as giving a nice finished look. I used a solid textured cardstock for the "binding". I soo love my taffita ribbon and antique button, I might actually giggle to myself when I pull this out of my purse but shhh don't tell anyone. The ribbon you see on the top is attatched to an adorable mini paper clip...it's my page keeper. Use an elastic hair band for the closure. I affixed mine with a large brad on the back and a rhinestone brad on the front to loop around. Simple simple but oh so chic.
