My demonstrator friend, Susannah Halweg, gave me the instructions for these cute pins made from soda cans and the Big Shot flower dies.

We don't usually drink soda in my home but I was so excited to make some for my holiday boutique that I rushed over to the grocery store to buy a few cases of assorted flavors just to make the pins!  I'm completely hooked on making these cute pop posy pins!!

Yet another card using the Friends Never Fade stamp set & Greenhouse Gala DSP.

A little twist in my small "coach" style purse design.   Flowers seem to be a big thing on purses this season so I thought I'd join in on the fun!

I used retired Ruby Red DSP on this one and instead of an outer pocket, I used the Flower Folds die to make an embellishment.  Note the change i handle design as well.  I used the new Dotted Scallop Ribbon punch!
