Fabric scraps to ease stress and tension

I'm always looking for ways to be creative and if I can do a little bit to minimise the negative impact on the environment and contribute to living more sustainably then it will probably make the short list of my latest crafting projects. 

I love a charity shop, freecycle and finding a use for something that can be repurposed. Did I mention I love to craft?!

This project was inspired by a bunch of fabric scraps and some discarded rice that just wasn't as good as the usual Basmati I've grown up enjoying (I'm half Chinese!).

Clutch purse

I just had to share this with you, despite it not using Stampin' Up! products...

I needed a purse/bag to go with my outfit for the wedding that I attended in Mallorca last week, and I just couldn't find anything blue, to match the dress.  Fortunately Mum was available to make something and this is what she came up with... it even has a red butterfly to match with the dress.

Inside... with pockets for everything!

It was perfect for my camera, phone and money too, plus it could easily be adapted to match something else by changing the butterfly :).
