3D Pretty Princess Purses

Hello blogging friends and crafters.  I am so excited to share my first post as being a Guest Design Team Member for My Cricut Craft Room.
This week, our assignment for Theme Day Thursday was to create a 3D Pretty Princess Purse.  This challenge came at an amazing time in our house as my 2 year old daughter is well into her "Princess" stage.  I have watched every Disney Princess movie for the past 5 days and she shows no time of slowing down.  She is also loving putting on lipgloss and glittery nail polish. So I wanted to include those ideas in her purse. For my project I used Once Upon a Princess and Flower Shoppe.
Here is my project...

 For the purse I used the Once Upon a Princess cartridge.  The purse was cut at 11 1/2" from pg. 66 using patterned paper from DCWV Nana's Nursery paper pad. I inked around the ivory handle with Studio G Pink ink.

 The flower was cut from at 2 1/4" (white inked with pink), 2" (pink) 1 3/4" (ivory) and 1 1/4" (glittered) from heart 2 found on p. 16 of the manual.  I inked around the larger 2 flower with Studio G pink ink and for the last flower added pink stickles to it.  I also added a piece of left over pink ribbon I had.

 The crown is found on p. 76 and was cut at 1 3/4".  Since my daughter's name is Aslynn I decided to cut at "A" from p.44 from the same pink paper found in the flower.  I also added 3 different colored bling jewels to it and Icicle stickles.

In the purse I added some "girly" Princess elements.

I LOVE Fall.  When that cool breeze starts blowing I immediately start decorating.  I am fall obsessed from the apple picking, pumpkin picking, the smells (oh the smells) and baking!
For this challenge, I wanted to focus mostly on the leaves and the apples but adding my own element to it as well.
My husband and I were married Thanksgiving weekend of 2006 and our color scheme and decorations focused on leaves, pumpkins, straw, raffia, apples and baskets.  I wish I had my Cricut then....So I also drew inspiration from our special day for my project. It is a shaped card using Doodlecharms cartridge.

Materials Used:
*Shaped card cut from Cricut Craft Room
