JULIE'S Birthday Purse

It's a TERRIFIC TUESDAY...and I am STILL keeping up with my birthday resolution!!...Whoooowhooo!I was "commissioned" to do a PARTY for one of my customer's soon to be 8-years old little girl...Julie..... a sleep over ( for them, not me!)...so , here is what I came up with.
The "purse" is made from a LARGE SU Stamp/Supply box. I used the Crop-a-dile to punch holes in the top ( like butter!) to thread the 5/8" grosgrain ribbon around & through for the handle.
The front panel is decorated using an assortment of SU product in yummy girlie colors.
I also decorated the inside front panel.


Then, I made a sweet accordian book using coordinating papers to go with the
Petals & Paisley ds paper....and tied it all together with matching 1/4" retired grosgrain (weird how SU retired the regal rose in the smaller size & added same color in 5/8"...isnt it?)

The girls will be able to "spend the night" decorating & doo-dadding " their purses!.with an assortment of c/s, ds paper, stamps & punches....Julie's Mom is taking pictures & printing them so they can capture the moments & memories!!
The party is friday....I cant wait to see what THEY come up with!!!!

Good morning Debbie!
Awesome projects posted today. Very motivating, but at last I'm in the office today and have my Continuing Education Class from 11am to 5pm today.
