Okay, so I had a few requests to add this to my gallery, so I am putting this in the gallery section as well.
I decided to finally take a picture of my tote bag. I take it where ever I go that isn't a workshop. I know I always get compliments when walking around with it. Got it at Oriental Trading and just stamped it up myself. So glad this set isn't retiring, LOL. Anyway, thought I would
share with you all.
I used acrylic paints on the Roses In Winter stamp set. The letters are using the Pure and Simple Alpha. The heart
is from the Hope Is... set we had last October, but really any heart would work good. So that I didn't get the paint on the pockets, I simply covered it up with a piece of paper. It was really easy to make. Be sure to put a piece of cardboard in between the
back and front of the tote though. I did that for support but the paint did go through onto my cardboard.
Side note: I used regular scotch tape to cover my pockets, I would not recommend that. I would recommend using the Dotto or some other repositionable/removable tape for yourselves. I have gummy areas on the pockets that I can't remove. Luckily, my card samples hide it really well
since it's only on the edges that I have it. I will try the goo gone though and see if that helps.

This is so cute!! I told ya yesterday on the thread & I'll tell ya today too, this is great!! This is such a great idea! I'm going to have to get one! I LOVE IT!!! Great job! And what a way to advertise!
very cool, just wondering what size is your tote...I'm going to CASE it one of this day. I will make a plastic pocket instead so that I can change the card frequently. What do you think ladies?

It's a larger tote, dimensions are 17x14x4 and it has plastic pockets in it already. I change out the cards whenever the need arises that I want to change it up. I posted the link so you can get more info about it. I am sure that they have smaller totes, but not sure if they have pockets on those.
