Purse of the day - Tag
Ok, here's a fun way to kind of get to know a bit about our friends here in blogland. My good Bud Ninja hit me with this purse-of-the-day tag.

Pay her blog a visit and check out her beautiful blog; it is linked to this title post

The Rules:

1. Post a picture of whatever bag you are using today - not last weekend when you and your hubby went out to that fabulous restaurant. No cheating!!!

2. Tell us how much it cost. This is a no-judgment zone -- there will be no ridiculing or eye rolling here. And, if there is a story to go along with how you obtained it, I'd love to hear it.

3. Then, I pick 5 people to post on their blog!

SO here's my purse, pretty much been using this everyday for a while now - I made it so, it really only cost me a couple bucks for the strap/webbing stuff - The fabric was from scraps that I had from a skirt that I made... OH in about 8th grade (yeah that's 23year old scraps!! but how could I not keep this, it is courdouroy and has the screen legends on it!) oh and the lining is green polka dot, that was bought in the last 3-5years or so, that was probably a buck or two :)

here's A close up

SO now to tag 5 buddies....

More subdued cards

here's some more subdued cards, I think anyway hehe

This one is Upsy Daisy, stamped in Pacific Point, I got from Trinity - thanks! - layered it on same cardstock and wrapped a light aqua organdy ribbon, sentiment is from studio g clear set, also stamped in Pacific Point. This panel is popped up, over Bashful Blue dsp, matted with the Pacific Point again ;)

(looks a little on the yellow side in the pic)

This stamp is just gorgeous! It's Lacier Heart from Inkadinkado - Stacy stamped it for me in VersaFine Spanish Moss, which I matted with Kiwi Kiss and then a darker olive that I had around. I just added stickles, Lime Green and Cinnamon on the outer dots and Diamond on the interior parts - sticky red rhinestones and some grograin ribbon threaded through the slot punched holes and folded finish it off










This image is from SU Lovely as a Tree. I colored it with markers, just several greens and a little brown for the trunks
Sentiment is from TAC, Be Still set
Inked the edges with TH Distress Inks in Walnut Stain and Faded Jeans
cardstock is some Bazzill, SU Mellow Moss and some Navy that I had around
finished off with some stitched organdy ribbon





This image is from SU Provencal, I received as a wish :)
colored it with markers then I tore and inked the edged with TH Distress Inks in Walnut Stain, the mat is SU Creamy Caramel, torn & inked the same way
added the Bayou Blue stitched grosgrain ribbon - that I traded with someone ;) and put that all on SU Not Quite Navy base layer

Diver Dan

Thanks to Stacy for the Diver Dan image, it's from High Hopes - I pair him up with the fisbowl from Stampendous Sushi Bowl Party set, along with the little fishies, castle and stuff, also from that set. I got the fish {Big Lou Pirhana}, also from High Hopes from Tami - he's popped up (like you can't tell from the shadow lol)
they are all colored with markers, and I used Aleene's paper glaze on the "glass" of his mask
The embossed background is also from PIF - it's a dark blue-green and then matted on some seafoam green

here's another angle to highlight the "glass" because I know you like it Stacy ;)

it says "have a bubbly birthday" inside - from the Sushi sentiment set

Valentines

Here's the little valentines I made for buddy to take to school ;) I just glued a heart with the To:/From: on the back

these were colored with markers and some have stickles too ;)

Peacock

This card was for my Mom's birthday, she loves peacocks

Thanks to Laura for the image, It's from Local King.
colored with markers
Cardstock is SU Summer Sun and Pacific Point - and Bazzill that I got in a big pack LOL
This one is all about color ;) just little brads in the corners
