Hi all!

Thank you all for the sweet comments I have received already on my "Half a Million Reasons to Celebrate" post/blog candy. If you have not commented already, you have until noon (mountain time zone) on Jan 28th to leave a comment and be entered to win the sticky stuff package valued at over $40!

My project today uses a template by Lauren Meader. It is called Take Along Tote.

I do not like to print out the template on my card stock. Instead, I print it out on copy paper and then use a ruler to mark the measurements and dimensions. Then, I just use that as a guide and cut and score my card stock based on the measurements.

I stamped 4 simple cards to fill the pockets (2 on each side). I also stamped a flower on the 4 envelopes so they match the cards. Inside the tote, I made a simple, matching notebook using some black chipboard and my bind it all. The handles on the tote were made using a die.

Stamps: Garden of Life
Ink: Raspberry Fizz, True Black
Paper: white, True Black, Raspberry Fizz, Raspberry Fizz Mix
Accessories: Take Along Tote Template, silver brads, Swarovski crystal, Raspberry Fizz ribbon, black ribbon, Basic Grey Magnetic Snap, dimensionals, sticky dots, Nestabilities butterflies, circle punches, square punches, oval punches, circle scalloped punch, red line tape, Nestabilities, Bind it All, Bind it All coil, copy paper pages, black chipboard

  5. What a wonderful project. I love the raspberry and black together. I have ordered the patterned paper and am waiting for it to arrive. You did a great job with this - I may have to go get that template after all.
