Friends of Waltzingmouse Forum Blog Hop - There's Always Time for You!

Today I'm participating in the Friends of Waltzingmouse Blog Waltz taking place in the WMS forum. The theme this month is tea/coffee! Check it out here in the Playroom of the Forum.


Today the WMS Design Team is also taking a moment to honor and thank two of our members who are leaving the team -  Bonnie and Carly.  We will sorely miss you two lovely ladies -  Bonnie with your quick wit and Carly with your wonderful and creative CAS designs.

I made this sweet little purse in honor of you, dear Bonnie and Carly! My friends -  there's always time for you!

My stamps are from Afternoon Tea Sentiments.

I found the link to this sweet little purse template on Dana's blog here.  The template was made by Mary Fish.

I cut out my purse from a piece of patterned paper.  I used twill for the handle and held the flap of the purse closed with a piece of velcro.

I stamped the sentiment, cut it with a petite oval Nestability and layered it to a Fancy Tags 3.  I adhered it to the front flap of the purse with Scor Tape to hold it securely.   I made my flowers (one paper and one felt) with an MFT flower die.   You can fit about 4 teabags inside this cute little number! (or Hershey Kisses, lip balm, cough drops, etc, etc!)
Now I'm off to the WMS forum to blog waltz and see all the fun tea/coffee card inspiration! Are you coming?
