Out with the old, in with the new
About two years ago I bought the cutest little purse in "Japan" at Epcot Center. I have loved this purse. It's perfect. One large pocket and two smaller ones. Very simple and elegant. But like a child's security blanket taken every where, and cherished always, it has started to show signs of wear. So, I decided that it was time for a new purse. 
This little beauty was made using Cherish paper from the Blush line produced by BasicGrey. I love the little bird and the look upon his face. He sits there, frozen, looking at you as if he is praying that you can't really see him. That's how I feel most days.
Nobody believes me when I tell them that. Everyone thinks that I am dieing to be the center of attention; I mean with my platinum hair and all. But I am really shy believe it or not. It's only when you get to know me, and prove to me that you don't bite that I come out of my shell. Otherwise, I remain frozen praying you don't really see me. 
Like last year at convention. I saw him, prayed he did not see me. The instigator of the bunch made us pose for a picture. I am blushing so much my face is almost brighter than my shirt and hot pink tips in my hair, and his poor heart was beating so fast I could feel it in my shoulder. But yet, I could have been content on being left in the corner, just observing, frozen in place, praying he did not see me.
Enough about me. Back to the...uh, what was I talking about?...oh, yeah, purse...
The paper was adhered with xyron to a round tin by Provo Craft. Then trimmed in two ribbons, one polka-dot, the other argyle. I also added gems by Hero Arts to the center of the flowers on the front of the purse. It took all of about 30 minutes to make. Totally a fun, flirty purse done in what else but Blush and Cherish!
Instigator???!!!! I resemble that remark!

Awesome. I just love it. You did such a great job. Only 30 minutes to make? That's great.
