Magic Under the Moonlight

Last night my family and I went to see a magic show at the Hale Koa Hotel...Magic Under the Moonlight with Mark Mauricio. It was a really great show!! Those of you living in Hawaii (or planning a visit) should really make an effort to see the show. It was such a fun and entertaining time...we were laughing all night!! The show is every Tuesday night and comes with a buffet dinner...you gotta go and see it!!

Here's a little project I did for a make and take at a local craft store. I like doing little projects that use scrap pieces of paper...there's always a bunch that you don't want to throw away, but they pile up really quickly!! You just need a 2" x 6" strip of paper. Make folds at 1-1/4", 3" and 4-1/4" from the top. The end with the 1-1/4" fold will be the "flap". Use a corner rounder to round out the flap, and put a brad in the bottom/center (Making Memories - mini flower brad).

Cut a 6" piece of ribbon for the strap and attach to the inside of the top fold with double stick tape. Use double stick tape again to secure a Hershey's nugget to the inside of the purse. Then simply stamp, cut and color some images to decorate the flap. For the examples I used #5038 (Little Penguin), #5043 (Peeking Monkey), #5002 (Flower) and #5004 (Rosebud). Use double stick velcro to keep the flap closed.
