Purses and Beach Tote I made

Good morning everyone. I hope your all having a wonderful day today. I wanted to share with you a couple of clutch purses and a beach tote I made. I made these using the Luxury Handbags file from SVG Cuts. I have become addicted to them now...LOL...I am going to be using them as gift bags. The little clutch purses are great to hold jewlery and gift cards. The beach tote will be a great gift bag to give someone a nice summer gift like a beach towel, sun glasses, and some suntan lotion.
