Its a birthday card for my sister she makes wollen handbags so I thought it would be quite fiting..lol

Marg...I often find leaving all hubbies clothes out of the suitcase allows more room for the kitchen sink
Have you tried the travel seal bags...they are like the vacum bags for storing blankets but you just roll them to take the air out...I got mine from Wilkinsons
Where you off to nice?

Saveapenny, Just had another thought - could you somehow attach a loop of fibre/cotton etc to the base of the flap on the inside and have a brad or paperfastener on the actual handbag, so that to close the flap you just loop the fibre onto the brad? This may work.

CT..you mean add another brad on the bottom of the card then under the flower attach a loop and then wind it round the bottom brad?

OK this is an image that I got from the Docrafts website and this is the design that I based my card on.



This is the one that I have done so far but it needs something and I am not sure what.

I will give that a go before I attempt anything with superglue

ZL...thats lovely...for me the only thing it needs ( but mayeb the picture) is for the zigzag edges to stand out more. Maybe on the reverse put a contrasting paper a little bit bigger than the front to make the edges stick out more
Its really lovely
