Hi Everyone!
I have been busy creating a purse for the amazing Anna’s Artful Bag Challenge.
It is called "The Domino Effect of Love."
This is how it started--from a simple match box. But, before long, a "metamorphosis" took place...
I embellished it with images from Shabby Cottage Studio. 10 hours later, this is what it looked like! (Notice the shades of blue for Blue Monday and red accents for Rednesday.)
Here is the inside of the purse with an image from the Graphics Fairy!
