Graphic 45 Couture purse mini album

Hi everyone :-)

Made a purse with a mini album inside. Used the gorgeous Couture papers from Graphic 45 and was in fussy cut heaven while I cut out all the images! So many beautiful ladies, hats, shoes and flowers to use :-)

For the handle I used black rose lase. Glued metal wire on the back and black ribbon to cover the wire. Then it is easy to shape the handle.

Used a lot of magnets in this album to hold photo mats and tags.

Made a metal dangle for the side of the purse and used a clock, tassel,keys from G45 and a frame from Tim Holtz where I glued a beautiful lady inside with glossy accent.
