Summer Smooches Purse


There are lots and lots of ways to use SU's fabrics, and this purse is just one example.  I used Summer Smooches fabric because it is so cheerful and perfect for the spring and summer.  The pattern for the bag is from Nellie's Needle and it's called The Maggie Bag designed by Karen Bennett.  The pattern has three size options, and this is the medium bag.  SU's quality cotton fabrics worked really well for this purse, and the pattern was not hard to follow.
I'm excited to start on another bag, and on June 1st, 2012 when I can order from the new catalog, I will be purchasing some of the newest fabrics for my second purse. 
Hope you have enjoyed this post.  Thank you for stopping by and have a great day,

Bright Blossoms & Summer Smooches


As a demonstrator, we have the opportunity to pre-buy some of the 2012-13 catalog stamp sets and products, and I am so excited.  In addition, SU Demonstrators got to preview the new catty, on-line, and it's awesome.  I think I'm going to have to have everything.  
I saw this darling card on Mary Fish's blog, and I quickly pulled out my new Bright Blossoms stamp set and my new Summer Smooches designer series paper (dsp).  They coordinate well, don't you think?  Not only do they coordinate well, this set and paper is a lot of fun to use, so bright and cheery.
This is one of the cards I'm offering at my "New Stamps, Paper and Colors" class coming up soon.  If you live in or near Graham, NC, please give me a shout and plan to attend.  Would love to have you.
Recipe:  Stamps:  Bright Blossoms, Petite Pairs (for words);  Paper:  Real Red, Whisper White, Old Olive, Tempting Turquoise, Daffodil Delight cardstock and Summer Smooches dsp;  Ink:   Basic Black, Real Red, Old Olive, Tempting Turquoise, & Daffodil Delight classic ink;  Accessories:  Scalloped Edge, 1 3/8" Square,  & 1 3/8" Scalloped Edge punches, Jewels, dimensionals.
