IC217 Scrap Note Card Tote Bag

OMG! I can't believe it! I am doing a challenge and its my favorite one. I have been so busy with other projects, finishing up a quilt I am doing for our church auction. I also been busy with my boys who have been out of school the last couple of days due to our wonderful snow/ice storm. Tomorrow we are going sledding!

I knew I wanted to play the Inspiration Challenge tonight because it fit perfect for me. I just made a friend a gift out of fabrics (wish I could share, but she will see it on here)...maybe she will post it once she receives it. Anyhow, we were to pick something to create from the Esty store...and this is what I picked. It's similar to what I made and it will go along with the gift.

I started out by following the great tutorial by Angie from Chic'n Scratch here. I changed my handles just a little bit. I eyeballed the shapes and glued them to the front and the back of the tote bag. I used the scor-pal, tacky tape, and scissors as followed. I added square brads to hold the handle together on each side. I used a small piece of tacky tape to hold the ribbon for the handle of the tote bag. This really was quick and easy to do, but I was helping my boys with their quilts they are making on the sewing machines. They will give them to the seniors that live across the street from us. It felt good to finally do a challenge and thanks Stef for always posting early. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend.
