Handbag Card

This card started like this …… £1 from Poundland ….
Poundland Birthday Card
and ended like this ……..
If you're down and lifes a drag treat yourself to a brand new bag
Close Up of handbag card Handbag Card
When I first bought the card to disassemble, I envisaged using just one bag per card,( I thought nine  handbag embellishments for £1 was good going),  but I got a bit carried away and used six instead, not such a bargain!  But I still have three left, so I will now try and come up with an idea using just one at a time.
I’ve handwritten the little rhyme, if you write at jaunty angles it looks like it was meant to be that way, trying to write in a straight even line is a nightmare so I don’t even try.

    Love this card - never thought of 'unpicking' cheap cards. Love your style - always quick and easy.

    I love your poem... did you make it up yourself? your card is far more personal than the original.

Thank you for wanting to leave a comment. I HATE verification and apologise for the extra bother it causes, however, if I don't have it I get all sorts of dubious spam added and the comments would be bogged down utter ***p!

Occasionally I get comments on posts from several years ago, again, I have to apologise, copies of TEMPLATES etc. that I once offered are now NO LONGER AVAILABLE, when my last computer died, I lost everything and decided not to replace any them.
