Handbags and a digital layout

I made this beaded handbag card this week - it a variation on a theme I've used before, but I was so pleased with how it looked with the addition of beads, I thought I'd share it with you.

I also had a go at another community challenge with Sweet Shoppe Designs (SSD) - I'm getting quite addicted to it to be honest! The challenge was to 'lift' a layout by a lady called Amy Stoffel - her work is so beautiful, it was quite difficult to select one to 'lift'. Eventually, thought I created the the digital layout below:

...and I am delighted with it!

Love,
