This VC Rocks! Blog Hop is about Anything but a Card, ABC. This week in class we made a purse to hold cards. I have seen several purses out there to buy, but I always try to find free. This purse template I found on Bridget Louw's website, but it was only large enough to hold 3x3 cards. I wanted a purse that would hold A2 (4 1/4 x 5 1/2) cards. So after fussing around for several hours I can up with this:

This purse can hold eight A2 cards. I used glimmer paper for the buckles on the purse. Love it! I know that this is ABC, but I had to show you the cards we made to go into the purse, thanks to Margaret Moody for her inspiration for these.

I made a second purse with the class and I love this one even more:

| Buckle | |
I have been wanting to make one of the following projects for over a year and this hop gave me the opportunity to finally make one. The instructions for the tissue box cover can be found here:
Split Coast Stampers-Tissue Box Cover and a big thank you to Cindy for suggesting that I use my new Sunflower Background Stamp(just came in tonight's UPS box) to decorate it with.

I received my first box of goodies tonight from the new Idea Book and Catalog. I fell in love with the new Beau Chateau DSP and here is a sneak look at the Side Notes that you can buy to go along with the DSP. There are two of each die-cuts included and it is on beautiful watercolor paper. I can't wait to make an album from this paper. So here they are:
Won't they be so cool on a scrapbook page or on a card front? I have added at the top right column a button to get emails when I post new blog pages, sign up if you would like to follow me. Now on to the next blog. Have a great day!
