Here are tote bags I made for Mother's Day using the template from the March issue of Paper Crafts magazine. The rose red tote contains 4 monogrammed note cards in coordinating colours and the elegant eggplant tote contains 8 cards - 4 different occasions, 2 cards of each.

Thanks, everyone! I love these totes - they are so easy to make (the argyle pattern took a while, but other than that they took no time at all. In Paper Crafts, they used ribbon instead of paper handles. The strips on either side of the print pattern are each 1/2" x 4-1/2" and the handles are each 1/2" x 11" and the ends are glued on the inside and then affixed with brads.
Not sure if I am allowed to do this, but I copied the template from my magazine and posted the template to the techniques forum. Here is the link: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
heathermp4 - the little tag on the red rose tote says "to my mom" and the eggplant one says "for you". Both stamps are from All Year Cheer. Not sure which one as I have AYC I and III and I get them confused as to which stamp came from where. Hope this helps.
