For You With Pursonality

I adore purses! I especially enjoy purses that are obnoxious, extravagant & what others would say are "gaudy." I don't know why, but it's just my preference.

Handbag Style

There was a very brief moment in my life when I decided I was going to make purses. My mom had just bought me a sewing machine, so that was all I needed! I bought lots of fabric, trims, threads, handles & whatever else caught my fancy. I was going to be this fabulous handbag designer, making lots of money by selling them on ebay.

Ha ha ha! I made a few bags AND I even sold a couple. They weren't horrible, but they were not fantastic. Of course, I struggled & struggled to learn, but my impatience got the better of me. I put a stop to that fantasty. It was fun for a time, but it just didn't catch my interest.

Wish You Were Here

It's always difficult for me to make masculine cards. I mean, really, there are SO many sweet embellishes & colors for females! How could I not want to use beautiful flowers, sparkling rhinestones, glitter & all of those pretty pinks?

Well, here is a little shout to the men. A masculine color scheme, wood beads, twine & a shell. All are neutral, dark & manly, I think.

Spring At The Beach

This card was created using Spring colors, but I also tossed in a little beach with the turquoise. (Thanks to Paper Minutes great color scheme!)

For the middle flower, I painted a chipboard shape in brown, added the polka dot detail then covered in clear glaze. I had made this piece previously, so I added more polka dots with turquoise paint to bring more of that beachy color to this piece.

Imagine (RDB1)

This card is one of 3 in a small collection that I created for my 2012 Mission: Use It. I had previously created the damask tags with blooms. Today, I finally used them. Rather than tags, they are the featured embellishment.

I used two different inks on the one stamp. It copies the reds & pinks that are found in the patterned paper for a more cohesive look.
