Floral Birthday Wishes

Hello,

I really wanted to share something with you today.  I also REALLY need to be sewing.  I have several of my chic tote bags cut and want to get them sewn together. 
I came into my office and thought what can I do to make a quick card.  I found this piece with a already colored flower and it was layered and tied with a ribbon.  All I needed to do was add a couple of elements and I have a card done in minutes.  The floral piece was something I had made a very long time ago and never finished it onto a card.  So a word of advice, if you are working on something that isn't quite right for what your working on at the moment.  SAVE IT!  It may come in handy at another time.  I used a Sizzicx embossing folder to emboss the wonderful florish onto the green cardstock.  I have come to love those embossing folders.  Take a plain piece of paper and give a a quick pop of texture and design.  You can stamp or use your computer and print out a greeting. Mine was printed from my computer and then layered onto a piece of green cardstock and adhered with pop dots.
My quick card from salvaged scraps.  Enjoy!

Blessings, Diane

Chic All Purpose Tote

Hello,

I am so excited today.  I have finished a set of my Chic All Purpose Tote bags.  I was going to label them grocery shopping bags but they are so cute and roomy enough for so many uses.  Use as a beach bag, fill will snacks and toys for a trip to the park, Scrapbookers will  be able to fill with lots of items for taking extras on the go. I use mine when shopping at Target, Sams Club and Wal-Mart also. They of course are great for holding lots of items when grocery shopping.  Replace two plastic bags with one of these.  I can fit two gallons of milk in a bag. For those of us that want to help with recycling these bags are great.  They are made with 100% cotton fabric.  Handles are double stitched for durability. They are completely lined and can be reversible. They are machine washable.  Each set includes four bags that are design coordinated so you look like a chic shopper.  Each set also includes the small tote that is designed to hold all your large totes when not in use.  The small tote is also a great size for fruit, two bottles of wine, bread and other delicate items.  They bags are also designed to roll up when not in use so they are compact and neat.
Check out my Fiber Creations site to purchase a set of bags.  More design choices will be coming soon.
I just couldn't resist sharing these with you today.  Hope you like them.

Set of four totes with small tote to store them in.
