I hope you have all had a great week! My week was productive, but I felt like a total recluse. The only time I left the house was to go to the post office to mail catalogs. Otherwise I crafted, spent time with my little one, and watched Twin Peaks. I just love that show! They have the entire series on Netflix and it is so addicting! They also have all of the Star Trek franchises, so I may never leave my house again! Yes, I love Star Trek. It is my all time favorite! That makes me a super geek, huh?
Today's post is another little purse made using the Artiste cartridge. This little purse can be made bigger than I cut it if you turn in on it's side and cut it on a 12" x 24" mat.

Loving all the new 3D cuts from CTMH, this purse is so cute!
this purse is so cute i do love the papers you have used too they are lush love this project xx
very cute purse, Melanie!
Love that paper you used. Your suggestion to cut it on the 12x24 mat - besides the Cricut paper, where can I find paper larger than 12 inches?
Answering my own question - maybe wrapping paper?
Cute, cute purse. Thanks for sharing Artiste projects!

I just love this. So pretty!
You can make this in any theme or colors! So cool!
Darling purse and I really like the paper you used on it. What size is the purse when it is assembled? It's hard to tell from just a photo.
That is adorable! My granddaughter is coming to visit this weekend so I'm getting busy with my Artiste cartridge (Thanks for quick shipping Melanie and CTMH). There are so many things I "need" to cut I am wishing for more time in a day...LOL! Thanks for all the inspiration!

This purse is too cute! I can't wait to get that cartridge. For those who say they can't afford it- have a CTMH party and get it half off or even free based on sales :)
I love that new CTMH cartridge, I guess I am going to have to splurge and get it.
Cute purse, love the bow on it.
What a cute purse.
this is one adorable looking purse.
Really neat purse and love the paper. Don't have Artiste but looks like I just might have to start saving for it.
Love the paper you used. Those are my colors. I like Star Trek too - Next Generation is my favorite. I evened named my cat "Spot" after Data's cate.
haha, I LOVE Twin Peaks too. I watched the series a few years ago and it was great. I am also a big Star Trek fan as well :) The Artiste cartridge arrived for me yesterday, so I can't wait to play with it this weekend. Thanks for CCR file! :)
Do you really read all these posts from everyone? Got to admit, that little purse is cute and the bow along with that fab patterned paper just really finish it off nicely. Have a nice weekend!!!

These purses are fantastic. Perfect for giveaways at my Mary Kay parties. Would be great for Avon as well. I would love to use them for a little favor give away when I get together with my g/fs my mind is running wild. Thanks for the ideas and Please consider me for your giveaway of sweet tooth cartridge.
I love this purse box. I love boxes, period! I would rather give gifts in a box than a bag. :0)
Too cute. I love the paper used.

Love the Purse. Love the new Artiste Cartridge, too!
Wow, that's pretty paper! Nice little purse....
Cute purse!! We 'lady geeks' need to stay united!! My college-age daughters have discovered that being sci-fi fans opens up a lot of conversations with guys. In fact, my oldest is going to marry 'hers' next June (and just yesterday we discussed making her garter with little Lego Han & Leia Solo figures as a surprise for him during the wedding!)
Really cute purse! Thanks for sharing!
Cute purse, the bow is a great touch.
If you are a geek for watching Star Trek or any sci-fi you are not alone. I love twin peaks, star trek, battle star galactica, and many more. GEEKS UNITE
Can't wait to use the Artiste cartridge!
So pretty.

Love the purse! I can see it as a holder for Christmas gifts for all my friends! If I don't win, I guess I'll just have to purchase that cartridge! fingers crossed.
This is adorable! Would bes cute as a party favor or gift card holder. Love it!
Love your little purse and the bow is adorable.
I was glad to see they had Twin Peaks also. I have had the series on DVD forever but didn't want to watch it until I could see the pilot. My copy of season 1 didn't have it included and starts out with a "previously on..." I could tell a lot happened on the pilot.

Super-cute project! I know some girls who would love to receive this. :) TFS!
Another great project from this wonderful cartridge!
I love the purse! would be so cute for showers etc.
Super cute and gorgeous paper.
Fun project! I just got Pemberley and can't wait to start creating with it!
I know what you mean about being a recluse! It happens, especially when you can watch great old TV endlessly! I'm a geek, too. I love Star Trek and Star Wars (sometimes watch Star Wars the Clone Wars cartoons with my kids...) I also found the OLD Battlestar Galactica on Netflix and watched the first episode with my 10 yo DS. He hasn't asked to watch more, but didn't seem to mind watching the one episode too much;-)
purses are such fun ways to give little gifts
It sounds like a wonderful weekend to me! Wow, that paper is gorgeous! Such a cute little purse.
Such a cute little purse! This new cartridge is soo on my wish list thanks to all of these cute projects! I'm a Netflix junkie too, love watching Burn Notice and Private Practice during my son's naptime while I'm crafting :)
I am so glad I found your site. Thank you!
WoW!!!Adorable Purse!!I want one..lol..

Cute purse but love the bow. I can see where I'd use it for lots of things. Thanks!
Cute bow. Love the purse.
The bow really makes this little purse box. I have a sister that is very into BAGS, this would be perfect for her.
I love that little bow - so cute!! Darling!! I would love to win that E2 - I would give it as a gift to my sister who doesn't have one and wants one so badly!!

I LOVE Star Trek as well! :D I actually found a "Beam Me Up Scotty" stamp at a local store. Thought about buying it and then realized that I didn't know too many people that would get a kick out of it. I guess I could have sent you a card!
Very nice tfs!!!
The colors really pop. I love this stand out purse.
Cute bag and the paper is gorgous.
I love that purse. My daughter would put everything in that and try taking it out to work. ;)
Love the purse and what a great cart thanks for sharing the file with us. Thanks for all you do and share, God bless you and yours.
Super cute!! That would be great for treats at a tea party for my little girl & her friends!
I love the little purse and this cartridge is now on my "must have" list! Really cute!
