Girl's Day, celebrated on the 3rd day of the 3rd month
Happy Girl's Day! Hope you're having a wonderful day!
I made a couple of Girl's Day gift bags for my DILs last night.
These handbags were put together with lunch sacks and were pretty easy to make. The hardest part was to resize a 5 inch lunch sack down to 4 inches, as it was too late for me to go shopping. Don't know why I'm always doing things at the last minute, guess I work better under pressure, lol. For the measurements, see the tutorial here. I used one of the older TGF images from the Miss Anya Dressy set (yay, finally!) and some old stash from Making Memories (chain, tag, metal brads - another yay!).
here's the other one.I hope you're having a wonderful Girl's Day!
The Challenges:
Cupcake Craft Challenge, #131 - Anything But Square
All That Scraps - Anything Goes
Papertake Weekly Challenge - Anything Goes (old embellies)
Paper Sundaes, #58 - How Charming, Charm or Metal Embellishment
The recipe:
Stamp: The Greeting Farm, Miss Anya Dressy
Paper: My Mind's Eye
Ink: Copic Markers, Distress Ink
Other: Nestabilities, Martha Stewart punch, Making Memories chain, tag, brad, lace, ribbons, pop dots
Thanks for stopping by!
Hugs!
