Scrap Purses



I've had LOTS of requests for a website, so here is my attempt or at least the closest thing I have time to work with. Thanks for your interest in my designs and thanks for stopping by! I do have other pictures available of some of my notecards, jewelry, gift bags, gift baskets and etc. Should you be interested in any of these items...please e-mail me.



As an avid scrapbooker (who is WAY behind with my boys' pictures) I was so excited to find these 'Memory Purses' at a craft show. Of course, I didn't buy one there. I went home and hopped online and ordered a purse, checkbook cover & business card holder so that I could design my own. So, now I can carry two 10x8 scrapbook pages with me on my purse. I love it! What a fun way to show off your children, grandchildren, pets, friends, and etc.

The purses measure 10.5" wide x 8.5" tall x 3" deep and the handle is 22" long.

Both sides of the purse have snap openings to hold a 10"x8" photo or
scrapbook page within the thick, clear acrylic sleeves.

The inside of the purse is lined with black pin-striped fabric with a small slip in pocket.

There are small metal feet on the bottom of the purse to allow it to stand on it's own.



So, the above pink, frilly, pretty, girly inserts were the first ones I did for myself.
I couldn't stop there.

Here are just a few of the other inserts I've made.


This one is done in blues, lime green & white. I love accenting with buttons...cute & inexpensive! And of course, I had to add some flowers.


I could have added something to this side but I thought it was cute just the way it is.

Purple is my favorite color, so I had to do one in purples...and yes once again...flowers!

I did this one using pinks and browns. Very cute!
Again, I used buttons and flowers to embellish it only because those are my faves.

Want a Scrap Purse of your own or do you know someone who would love one as a gift?
Then, order your's today. You tell me what you want and I will create it! The ideas and designs are endless. Pick any color combinations and any theme. You e-mail me the pictures and I'll put something together. I can even e-mail you pictures of your purse before I deliver it to you.


All of the purse designs you see here are just some "samples" I did using my own photos.

If you like one, I can personalize it for you and add your photos instead of mine.

The cost of each purse is $35 and for a limited time, I will add matching checkbook cover or business card/credit card holder for FREE.

Ideas for your own Scrap Purse:

* Show off your kids in your favorite colors & embellishments that match your personality and style.

* The "Sports Mom" can show off her athlete with a design that shows school spirit in your school's colors, mascot and etc.

* The "New Mom" or "Grandma" can show off their new babe.

* Show off your favorite pet.

* Get one designed to match the holidays...Easter, Halloween, 4th of July or Christmas.

* The ideas are endless....



This is my "Kate Spade" inspired look with the multiple colored stripes.

It's hues of pinks, lime green, white & black.



On this one, I chose to use my initial "m" instead of a picture just for something different.
I really like this design a lot!


This is my lil' "Cooper"...this page turned out cute too! Just another idea...

This design is done in browns & a sky blue color. I added stickers, ribbon & of course some buttons for embellishments. I like this layout...something different.

This picture is a bit blurry...sorry! Wanted to show the other side of this design though.

This paper is very "retro"! The colors are orange, blue, yellow, olive green, browns & white. Once again I embellished with stickers & buttons.

This is my latest "creation". I sewed an acrylic page protector to an ordinary denim tote bag and inserted a scrapbook page into the pocket. Very cute!! :) I can also make these if you'd like one. Of course these canvas tote bags come in colors if you'd like one in something other than denim. I am charging $20 for these!
