again with the trimmings!!!

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!!! ♥♥♥

  2. Yes it is a beautiful bag and you are, without doubt, talented AND clever but shouldn't you be in bed?

    I know I still should be which would indicate you definitely should have made it there by now!

    Also loving Cleo's eye :-)


    Big smooches.

  15. I know exactly what you mean! I started making (just a couple, I only needed like two) some of those rolled paper flowers. Next thing you know, they're taking over the world!
    Yours are much more useful, I must say! :D (mine are *still* sitting on the table)
    Your mom will love it! It's lovely and so very fun!
