When I think of spring, I definitely think of critters. Even though I find frog images so cute, I can't stand the real thing!! I swear I have a crazy phobia toward frogs - the slime, the bulging eyes and throat, the possibility of a jumping frog landing on my foot...ugh!!
I created this little purse for the guidance counselor at my school who's workin like a mad woman this week - it's state standardized testing week in PA (double ugh!!). It's a lot to manage, so I tucked in a few pieces of chocolate to help her get through the tough moments.
I was worried that I wasn't going to get it completed in time. I fell late Saturday night - a moment of gracefulness :) - and according to the ER on Sunday morning, I sprained my ankle. Luckily, I'm doing much better and I put a chair in the craft room to elevate my foot while I worked on this little number.
The template was incredibly easy to use. I printed mine out on white cardstock, cut it out, and then covered it with DP. Since I'm not a talented Xacto Knife user, I cut out the handles on my BigKick using the circle Nestabilities. They worked out beautifully. The sentiment I added was printed from Microsoft Word - the font was Mia's Scribblings. In case you're wondering, I love fonts and I find most of mine at dafont.com. Feel free to drop me a line if you need help downloaded new fonts on your computer.

Stamps: Colorbok Friendly Forest
Paper: DP, Real Red, white

Stephanie - Sorry to here about your ankle and hope you're feeling better soon! Your little purse is adorable. I'm like you I don't really like frogs but the images are really cute! Your co-worker will love this little gift!
i love that cute little frog!! Adorable bag!
I love the purse and the frog is cute.
Well I just love this little purse and thank you for the link to the template! I'm sorry to hear about your ankle... I do understand because I hurt my hand, wrist, arm somehow during the move.... I think it's tendonitis but not sure... and even typing hurts! I guess it just takes time, but sure glad you could still stamp! Great work! I love it!
That's a very sweet gift idea! I hope your ankle is feeling better. Being a very graceful person myself, I can sympathize!
