I made this purse to put some of my cards from my stash to give to one of my son teacher. I decided to try the faux alligator instead of the pattern papers. The purse looks o.k. I think if I were to use either black or chocolate chip it would look much better. The thing is I've thought of using those two color but I am running low on both card stock colors. I am debating whether to order those card stocks from Stampin' Up! now or to wait until July. If I order the card stocks now I'll be saving several dollars. If I wait until July, I will be spending extra dollars since the price of the card stocks are going up for the new catalog. I have lots of Brilliant blue card stocks. I ordered them for wedding invitations last year but never got to use them. Hopefully one day it will be used up.
I cut off 1/4" on each side of the purse. I like this one better. The purse is still very big but it has a better shape.
Also, I am really excited to receive this award from the talented Michelle at Pink Paper Paradise. What a fun award!

I will go with 6 truth and 1 lies.

4. I ate bugs before.
5. I enjoy cooking.

Goes to the end of this post to see which one is not true about me.
I am passing this fun award to the following seven bloggers:

The one thing that was not true about me is I don't enjoy cooking. No, we don't eat out too often. It's just that I don't know how to cook and every meal is a battle.
Thanks for stopping by.

Hello Helen!
You ate bugs is true?! :<) Wow!
Love the blue purse - I know well how one can order a special color for a project and then it becomes an issue of 'what can I make with this!' because the project didn't come about. :<)
Congratulations on the award! Thank you for sending it on to me - you are a good friend! I love it! It will be fun thinking up 6 lies about myself! I also love checking out the blogs on the awards list to enjoy great blogs I have not yet seen!
You take care. Thank you for all of your very kind comments as they make my day!
Hugs,
Barbara Diane
And, I am going to leave another comment about the purse: love it - there is Brillant Blue DSP on the clearance rack that can be considered......your project turned out great!

Thanks Helen! I was on your blog today but didn't scroll down far enough to see all that I had missed. Thanks for mentioning my blog!
I really love your blog. You have such great creative 3D projects especially. Thanks for sharing your talent here with us!
Hi Helen, (Rachel) Thanks for the award. Sorry I had no idea. Once I start blogging again I will be happy to display it. I didn't have to scroll down to know that the lie was. haha. I think this one I will enjoy doing. :)
I like your purse, but it is a lot of blue. I have two sisters that would love it as blue is their favorite color. I think it turned out good. The teacher should love it. Especially with the cards in it. ;)
