A Few Totes
You may remember this tote and tutorial I did for Ruby Tuesday recently. I’ve been so happy to see that several of you have made them as well. You make my heart feel good! Thank you, everyone, for sending me the links to your totes. I’ve seen a wonderful variety of designs, colors, papers and I’d like to share these beauties with everyone. These links will take you directly to the totes but while you’re there I’m sure you’ll be inspired to explore their sites and find some of the other treasures they’ve shared.
Stampin cuz I Luv to – This is Dee’s tote. She says she used some of her least favorite paper because she was afraid she’d mess it up, but she did a beautiful job and I love the paper.
The Queen’s Scene – Lynn dared to be fabulous and, oh my, it’s fabulous!
Inkcicles – Nancy put a fun, creative spin on the straps.
Cherylquilts – Cheryl’s tote is displayed with its matching cards and, oh, it’s a lovely gift set.
Rohla – See this tote and these two made with a fabulous flower by a fabulous stamper. Amy’s really gone to town on these totes! She also made this Season of Joy tote, these Holiday Mini totes, and these adorable Chipboard Sayings totes. Her gallery is a real treat!
Inkerdoodles – Lisa made two wonderful totes with beautiful paper and Primas.
Bensarmom – Sue used Cutie Pie paper on her tote for a fresh and fun look.
Melyssa made three super cute totes and they can be viewed by clicking on her name.
One of my visitors, Sarah, emailed me a link to some beautiful totes she made. The link took me to her online photo gallery and I wasn’t sure if I should link it since she emailed me rather than posting the link in her comment. I emailed her for permission but didn’t hear back. Thank you for sharing with me, Sarah!
Lenora commented that she made a tote using the Priceless swirls and filled it with matching one sheet wonder cards and it sounds wonder-ful! She took her creation to work with her and wound up with six orders!
There may be others that I’ve missed but I hope you enjoy these samplings. I’m so glad this tutorial was useful and brought stamping pleasure to so many. Have a wonderful day and keep on stamping!
Thanks for all of the links, Leslie! What beautiful creations by everyone! I want to try one as well. I’m hoping to have more stamping time, once the boys get back in school.
I missed the tutorial the first time but I will definiately try one this week! These are beautiful
I did make one of these and intend to make more - I’m busily making a variety of items for a November craft fair. I liked how mine turned out except I used satin ribbon for the handle and I don’t like the color I used. I’ll try the next one with twill. I just love yours.
Woohoo, these were so much fun to make. My upline made one and put cards into it for me. I will check out the others you posted. I want to make some of these for teacher gifts. They are so cute Leslie!
These are all gorgeous!!! Thanks for sharing your artwork ladies!!!!!

What a delightful little tour of “Tote Land!” I’m not at all surprised so many were inspired by your original tote and tutorial, Leslie. I still like yours the best! :o) Linda
Hi there Leslie!
I was just browsing a few of my fav blogs and came across this “totes” post and my name in lights, how exciting for me.
A big thanks to you for the wonderful tutorial, I’ve had so much fun! I created one tote for each of the girls who signed up for my stamp camp last Saturday and they loved all 10 of them!
Warm hugs,
