Dazzling Purse-O-Nality Mini Purse

Good Morning Stampers!

I want to thank each of you for continuing to visit my blog during my short absence.  The day of my last post my daughter got the stomach flu and was fighting it for over a week.  She couldn't keep anything down and just pretty much laid around the entire time.  Then, in the midst of that my oldest son and I got sick. I was pretty much laying on the couch non-functional.  Just when we all started getting better, my daughter got  stung by a bee and we had to rush her to the ER.  My baby could only show me her finger and cry and scream "buggy".  I felt horrible!  I am deadly allergic to bee stings and since this was bee sting we didn't know what kind of reaction she would have so we played it safe and took her to the ER.  She has been so traumatized by the sting that she wakes up from a dead sleep screaming "buggy, buggy".  All is well now but I am now trying to play catch up on my work and some days it feels like I will never get caught up.  Anyway,  all catalogs have been mailed out and should be in your mailboxes today or Monday at the latest.  I have 3 catalogs left and have already placed an order for more.  If you would like a FREE catalog, please email me at monica@addalittledazzle.com and send me your phone number and best time to reach you so I can get your mailing information.

I am so excited to share with you today's post.  This is a dazzling mini purse I created using Stampin' Up's! new designer series paper Razzleberry Lemonade Designer Series Paper.  I absolutely think this paper is dazzling!  It uses the new in-colors and the ideas with this paper are endless.  I created this purse using Rich Razzleberry Cardstock for the base and bought some pearl strands and wire to create the handle.  I think the pearls adds a dazzling touch. Check out the dazzling button I created using Build-A-Brad.  I have never played with my pack of Build-A-Brads and I absolutely love them because you can create a matching button for all your projects. 

You would be absolutely surprised to know how easy this purse is to create.  Hmmm!!! What can we put in this purse?  How about some earrings? Chocolate?  Bracelet?  Money? Keys to a new car? You get the idea.  This is the perfect way to give somebody that special gift or as a party favor.  I even have a big version of this purse that is dazzling.  It even includes matching cards.  I would love to hear from you if you are interested in a full tutorial for this purse and all the extras. I will be offering it as part of a full tutorial next week that includes a big purse that doubles as a card holder and gift bag along with 8 matching cards. I promise you will be surprised to see what I used to create this purse and how easy it was to make and you will want to make them for different occasions.  Might I add the bigger version is dazzling! The handles on both purses are made using pearls.  It adds such a nice touch of dazzling elegance!

Due to my absence, I am extending the mini scrapbook contest until Monday, July 13th at midnight.  There is still time to leave a comment on either those postings or this one for a chance to win.  I will choose 2 winners so don't miss out.  If you already left a comment on the other posts, just leave one on this post for an additional chance to win.  You will get to choose which mini scrapbook you want.

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to email me at monica@addalittledazzle.com if you are interested in the upcoming tutorial for this mini purse, the big purse, and matching cards and I will be sure to email you all the details next week.

Have a dazzling day!

WOW!!! Sounds like you have quite the week. Hopefully your daughter will forget the bee sting soon. As a mother I know how hard it is when your child is hurting and you feel helpless. Love the mini scrapbook idea. Thanx for the inspiration!

I'm so sorry you were out sick and then were scared with a bee sting. I hope this week goes much smoother than last. We really missed your blog. Glad everyone is doing well though.
