Bloggers Challenge - Boxes and Bags!

I love boxes and bags!!!  I just got this fabulous purse idea from my friend Emily A.  Thanks Emily!  Start out with a 4" square box, score in 2 of the sides so they fold in nicely.  Make a topper to keep it shut, and a ribbon handle.  I attached the square topper onto the back of the box with Sticky Strip, so it's not going anywhere.  Front closes with a little piece of velcro.  I was feeling quite lazy just now, so I hand cut the circles around my scalloped shamrock guy.

Stamps:  St. Patty's Day (TAC)

Cardstock:  Certainly Celery, Glorious Green, Whisper White

Ink:  Black, Glorious Green

Other:  Celery/Glorious markers, Gold Zig painty pen, Scallop Circle punch, velcro, Certainly Celery twill ribbon

Here's a picture of the box before I put the top flap on.

    This definitely looks harder to make than it was from your directions. Thanks for sharing -- you hand cut the circles? You are good, woman! It's way cute!
