today's project is a gift bag i made for my mom's birthday, using lots and lots and LOTS of lace and trim from the october pixie dust paperie kit, "fall in love"...and a zillion hand-cut, inky, wrinkly, distressed paper flowers. what can i say? once you start makin' grunge flowers, it's kind of hard to STOP! :)
more details and more photos over at the pixie dust blog, where NO PROJECT ever goes un-embellished!!! ♥♥♥
You know how much I love this gift bag, don't you?
ReplyDeleteYes it is a beautiful bag and you are, without doubt, talented AND clever but shouldn't you be in bed?

Also loving Cleo's eye :-)

ReplyDeleteC U T E! In addition to the collage gene, I also lack the ability to decorate bags. YOU ROCK!
