In this store I was introduced to a line of handbags, totebags and accessories by the designer Vera Bradley
They had so many wonderful things in this store and everything was wonderfully displayed. I fell in love immediately. From gift sets consisting of an apron in a recipe box to nifty flip flops that you can change the ribbon to be what ever you feel like and happen to have handy in your craft room. If you are taking the kids to do the Disney World/Universal Studios thing, make sure to find this store at Universal on their CityWalk Shopping.
Doesn't this just inspire me to make purses now??? Yes, it does.
But despite my craftiness, I couldn't help myself, I just had to run back and grab this one..
It's definitely become one of my favourite things!I did manage to be a little creative last night. I made a thank you card for my Orlando buddy and fellow DSL Inc. wife, Tammy Retz. Not only did she chauffeur us around everyday, she was a wonderful shopping companion, and I had a lot of laughs with her and her daughter Melanie.
Using Stampin' Up's Three Little Words stamp set. I used Chocolate Chip, Certainly Celery, Whisper White textured 12 X 12 and Barely Banana paper. The Baroque Motifs scroll stamp was embossed in white . A white gel pen was used for the dots and the mat pack template and piercer for the sewing line border. Chocolate Chip satin ribbon and Prima Marketing Forever Flowers with a Papertrey Ink New Leaf button in the center finished it off. It's hard to see, but I used a little Dazzling Diamonds on the "T".
I was inspired by a card on Pickled Paper Designs for this one.
No matter where you are, who you are with or where you look, inspiration is everywhere!
