Design DIVAS Secret Sister Challenge

I really enjoy the challenges that my fellow Design D.I.V.A.S. in our Splitcoast Stampers Group put together on a regular basis, and also the challenges for our forum's Secret Sister group. Life has a way of getting in the way of all that I would like to do, but I TRY to stay on top of the challenges. (That flower one is going to kill me!! - but I'll get it done -- I'm really overdue on that one and completely stumped - maybe I'll just call the florist!! Tee-hee)

For the Secret Sisters challenge this week, we are to create some form of purse for our secret sister... so here's my take.

I 'CASED' this from my stamping friend Sherrie.. she had a similar version on her blog and I couldn't resist playing around with the basic version to create this for my Secret Sister. I used the Top Note die...created an inner box to hold some goodies, created the flap with a Nesties and added a pearl brad. It's hard to see from the photo, but there is glitter on the flower I added. Hmmm.. maybe that flower qualifies for the "Flower" challenge... ??? Probably not.

I think a variation of this little project will wind up in our next Make 'n Take for a Girl's Night Out.

'Hope my secret sister will enjoy this.. it was fun to create this little item with her in mind.
