Hello,
It's been AGES since I've played in challenges just for the sake of playing, so when I saw the fabulous photo at TIME OUT Challenge #194, I had to join. Kim's tote bag is so pretty; exactly the inspiration to spark my 'feeling meh' creativity.
First inspiration: the tote itself (Kim is sooooo talented!). I opted for a C&9th's Weekender Purse, using leftover papers from a Crafty Girls collections - a piece with girls and another, plaid - to reflect the different fabrics Kim featured on her tote. A sparkly loop, key and heart finished it off.
A complete gift ensemble requires a card, so I made on: Missees-themed, of course! Her top is intended to reflect the Girl's Club Pastel Parade fabric on Kim's bag (yes...I did check out these beautiful fabrics!). Mine are neither 'truly' pastel nor metallic but...kind of close, design-wise. Or, so I hope!
Here's the set...
Thank you, Kim, for the awesome inspiration....creativity definitely feeling an upswing!
Since this is a birthday-themed set, I'm heading over to the current Seize the Birthday Challenge #221~Anything Goes.
Thank you for dropping by!

Omg, my eyes welled up! CAROL.. this is the sweetest and cutest set of gift ensemble. Kim will be so touched. So glad you joined us at Time out.. I couldn't stop myself from coming here to have a better look. Love ~ Ishani
These are so sweet, Carol. I think your interpretations are fantastic and so fun. The tote is super cute, love the plaid. The Miss is styling in that terrific top. Wonderful work! Thanks for sharing have a happy week. :)
Carol....I am overwhelmed by your incredible creations!!! So in love with your sweet bag and simply fabulous card, over the top amazing my dear friend!!! Love it all. Thank you so much for taking the time to play along with us at Time Out!
What an amazing little set! Clearly inspired by Kim's own amazing creation, but in totally your sweet style! (Hope you win!)
That little purse is darling and so much like Kim's, Carol. When I saw the faces on the bag I thought of you and your Missees so I'm glad you also made that wonderful card to go along with it.
I think you have this one in the bag over at TO. Carol, I can not get over how cute this purse and matching card are! The degree of patients and talent you have for card making is incredible. I just love the girl's hair tie on the front of the purse, not to mention the key ring. Then on the misses card...her retro patterned and of-the-shoulder shirt is just perfection. You again have such a sense of design and balance! So happy you linked up at Seize the Birthday or I may have missed this! HUGS!
Hello, my friend! We both haven't been at Time Out for a bit!! But what a joy I had when I went to see the gallery at TO and saw your entry....a huge...WOW!! You have taken so much from the bag and photo, so much care, attention and love into one project, you are so creative. I love the sparkle heart on the bag and the little journal you added. And adore the sweater pattern on the sweetie. Love this Carol xx
Very cute purse! I like that you put things in it. I love the shirt on your girl you. Thanks for joining in at STB
Holy Moly, Carol!!!!! Your project is fantastic beyond the beyonds... I love every single thing about all of it. Such attention to detail and color matching and what wonderful homage to Kim's bag. Thank you for sharing your incredibly creativity with us at Time Out. I would hug you right now if you were beside me!
Congrats on your win at Time Out, Carol! It's well deserved.
