I am so happy you stopped by for a closer look at my MMSC40 project this week. While pondering what I was going to do with this weeks sketch,  I started by looking at the side wave detail down the left side of the sketch. It reminded me of a flat, so I decided to give a go at making a paper purse. As I was making the Paper Purse, I thought it needed a little bling, so I went to my box of goodies and found this wonderful vintage style bicycle pin/brooch. The brooch is removable so it can also be worn. As I was finishing up this purse, I found that following the sketch perfectly would not compliment the final outcome, so I decided to make a matching gift card to go with this paper purse. I did followed the sketch on the card. I was very pleased that I found the perfect stamp set (to be released on Feb 16th) to go with it too. The gold embossed bicycle stamp is from Cornish Heritage Farms call “Bicycle Life”  I just love adding a touch of vintage flair to my projects and am just thrilled that this all came together as it did. thank you again Liz (CHF) for the huge box of new releases you gave each of the MMDT. Thanks again for those of you who stopped in and I would love to hear your thoughts about my paper purse and card today. Tomorrow (Weds) I will be posting a tutorial on how I made my "wood paper box" (from MMSC39), so please stop back by for that. I may just have to work up a tutorial on this "Paper Purse" too. Would you like that? Oh so many things to make and share and I am having so much fun while doing it. Your thoughts, comments and concerns are always a welcome sight.
Challenges I am entering this in are...
Practical Scrappers = Brads
Sweet Stampin = Floral
Creative Belli = Ribbon
ABC = Stash

  1. WOW! Priscilla this is amazing! The paper looks like fabric. OR is it fabric? I love all the beadwork and the details. WOW. Did I say that already? LOL! OF COURSE we would like a tutorial! AND, can you find me some fabric like that. I think I might need to make a fabric purse like this. :)

  12. Priscilla...When I saw this...I could not help but think that this would be the most exciting Mother's Day card EVER!!! It simply sensational through and through....I am sitting here with "bated" breath waiting for the tutorial on this purse. Using a real working brooch is a stroke of genius, as I for one would wear it-I can't believe how perfectly it matches your image. You are so splendidly talented!!!

  13. did you hear the thunk when my jaw hit the floor, that purse is gorgeous. So get going on the tutorial, while you're at it, send me all those papers you used so when the tutorial is up I can make mine, better yet, just send me the one you made and when the tutorial is up I can look at it and not have to do it.
    It's just beautiful, I can't imagine any woman not loving it.
