Back Again...I think

I have decided I really do want to use my stuff that I have been acquiring over the past year. I have made a few things but I am always doing it at the last minute so I throw it in and envelope and mail it or head out the door with it, never actually taking a picture.

Here is a picture of one thing I made last month for church, a Lip Balm Purse. I ordered the organic Vanilla Lip Balms HERE . They were very nice and I would recommend ordering. The postage made it a little pricey(for me) at 8.25, but for the cost of gas and running around looking for some it was worth it. I would suggest ordering them  more than a week before you need them...without expediting  the order it took 8 days to get them.   I made 30 or 40 I can't remember. 

I used THIS to make the labels on a whole sheet label and then trimmed them on my paper cutter. I got 8 out of a 12x12 piece of paper the purse piece length was 6" but and I believe the width I cut to 3".  I used a Marvy Large Scallop for the top flap.
MS for the leaves and SU for the pointed 5 petal Flower Punch.  The satin  was a clearance ribbon  from my Local Craft supply store... same brand as I have grabbed in the past for wedding invites.


Now I really need to start my Daughters Wedding album since her Anniversary is coming up soon.
I should be try to get it finsihed before I head out of town in a few weeks.  In an effort to motivate myself I am making this blog post to tell you to check back and see how I am doing.  I am hoping that will motivate me to start the Scrapbook soon...wish me luck...and
Until Later...Happy Stamping!
