A Purse For Any Occasion.

Hello everyone: I hope you and your families are doing ok dealing with all the pain and confusion of what's going on lately.  This is not new, every time it happens we feel outraged, claim something must be done to stop it but, other than the protests, nothing really changes.  But CHANGE is what we need, I hope it comes like lightning, and be decisive and just.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don't have a card to share today, what I have is an adorable little purse I created following the directions of Julie DiMatteo on THIS POST in here fabulous blog called "The Paper Pixie", as soon as I watched it, I just fell in love with it.
I promise you, this little purse is as beautiful as it is easy to create.


I changed it up a bit by adding a matt for the DSP, some enamel dots from Gina Marie Designs and, since I didn't have the Velcro Dots Julie used, (which I already ordered, 😉) I used little magnets. I also added a stamped little tag, which can be customized for any occasion.
The flower is from a Power Poppy stamp set called "Simply Camellias", which happens to be on sale now. I stamped it on white card stock with Spun Sugar DI from Tim Holtz and added shadows with a pink Prismacolor pencil.
The DSP is from a sadly retired line from Lili of the Valley.

I hope you go and check out Julie's blog and give this little purse a try, you'll love how easy and fun it is to create.

I'm playing along with these challenges.

Thank you for stopping by.
Stay healthy and safe.

This is just as adorable as it can be, Maria! I used to love making little things like this. Purses were my favorite. It's been a while, but I remember how much fun they were. I might go take a peek. How perfect for the PP challenge!
