High Fashion***







Hi everyone***
My husband and I are invited to a Valentine's Day party at a friends home and I said that I would make all the ladies a little something special. When I saw Lauren Meader's
Purse-onality Clutch template I thought what a cute idea. Then I saw someone else on Nichole Heady's blog had done a similar thing so I went to town...
Using the template I cut it out and added some black accents to the handle and the flaps. The bod of the purse was cut out in pink cardstock.
I used Papertrey Ink's Borders and Corners - (circles) and the Heart Prints set to create the design on the white cardstock.
I found these wooden hearts at Michael's and painted them pink, then added a pearl accent.
I used a square dimensional so that the flap could be tucked in behind the heart and stay put.
A little black ribbon on the handle and VOILA!! I am going to add choclates when I am done.
I have 6 more to make!!
Have a great day everyone and thanks for stopping in***

Your purse is so cute but I wanted to give you a heads up that your link will get deleted off Papertrey because you linked it to your blog and not directly to the project!

This is really a great project! Still I think that it doesn't compare with the cupcake project. I really love what you did with it. And mostly your color combo!
