Anyone know who's purse this is? OK, Cindy, before you call that no good security guard and get me in trouble let me explain myself. I was a little distracted getting my cake plate, and dodging the cat and dog fight, that I didn't notice that I picked up the wrong purse by mistake. I got home to Iowa and noticed it sitting next to me. I started thinking, HEY THIS ISN'T MY PURSE! OH NO, I HOPE IT ISN'T ONE OF CINDY'S BECAUSE IT HAS POLKADOT HANDLES. So I am sending this purse to Cindy to make sure that next week at the teaparty it can be claimed by the owner.
If you would like to come to the teaparty check out the gallery here: Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
I didn't have the topnote die and I didn't have glassy glaze enamel, but I did have a corner punch and UTEE. Similar effect. I glued a button on the outside. I used velcro to close the purse. I made the bottom paper using my marker, ink, smash technique.
Cindy, if this isn't your purse, just hold on to it until it comes and can be claimed. By the way there really wasn't any money in it when I looked inside.

Okay, first of all the purse, its creative and fun and adorable, and somebody elses??????? Love the texture and finish of the flap!!! Another McGiver masterprice!
Oh no! That was the purse that had the money in it that I was gonna use to pay the security guard I hired to watch for purse thiefs who turned out to be no good cuz Card Crazy made off with my teapurse who was supposed to be stopped by the pit bulls who got sidetracked by the baby kitties who are now being protected by the King of the Jungle type lions! How am I gonna pay for all this man power? Well, the mystery is...who took the money? Now I have to hire a private investigator!!! Snort! Everyone will claim that this purse is theirs cuz its so darn cute! But it must be mine cuz look at that handle! Hee!

Oh, MariLynn! I'm pretty sure this is MY fabulous purse! Did I mention I brought two purses to the party and only left with one? This is awesome - very creative and so chic! Great techniques!

OH very clever MariLynn. I see that you are up to no good. This is a snazzy purse. I should think that it needs to be returned to its rightful owner. It looks expensive with that wonderful leather.. So kind of you to return it now that you have been busted....Great job girlfriend.

I believe it's mine! The faux leather would tell you I'm on a budget, it's a givaway I know. But it does look quite elegant don't you think. Now Cindy will say it's hers because of the polka dot handles, but I thought they were a requirement for attending the tepot party this week.
Love your purse Marilynn, I know what name they should give your here when you reach you 10k post. Does Marilynn MacGiver ring a bell! Gee, you are some clever cookie.
NOTE: Don't take the first part of this comment too seriously, I appropriate myself everything I love, something about my childhoood. LOL

Well MariLynn, with this beauty, you have just added to MM's story line and added another notch to your McGiver belt! Your ingenuity amazes me! I love how you work around whatever 'bump in the road' to achieve greatness! Wow...
I think it is Cindy's purse tho...the handle, no moolah (stamp obession you see) and well, it's orange! Beautiful job McGiver!

MariLynn, I love what you did here. The colors are great together. The polka-dot handle is sooo cute, and the closure. You did a very nice job on putting it all together...Love it!!
