FOR LEAH

I made this for my friend Leah Sinatra for her birthday back in May. I photographed it before I gave it to her, went to post it on my blog and couldn't find the photos! I had to ask for it back long enough to photograph it again, and Leah was kind enough to bring it to me. Thank goodness she's a stamper, blogger, and my downline and "gets" why that's so important! Thanks, Leah! When I give it back to her, is it considered "re-gifting"? LOL!

You all know how much I love the Cottage Wall Designer Paper, and I just love the style of this little bag. It fits four 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" cards & envelopes quite nicely. You can find the tutorial for the Haute Tote here.

This card is a version of my original design found here ...
This card is CASEd from FubsyRuth on SCS ...

Totally gorgeous project, Nancy! I just LOVE that colour combo and that DP! You have made some lovely cards and I'm glad you have a friend who can appreciate your situation and help you out :D Keep it long enough and she may forget you have it and you can give it back to her again LOL!

Yes, you did a card for Sweet Sunday Sketch in this motif. I have it saved in my CASE file...guess I'll add this one along with it! Fabulous stuff!

This was just too good not to CASE....so lovely - I've had that paper hanging around here for months (we've had in Aus for a while) and I was unsure what I wanted to do with it.......along came the amazing Nancy Riley......{bowing to the stampin saviour!!}

Nancy ~ I love your card #2 here. I have that set of stamps and haven't used it in a long time. It inspired me to get it out and use it again soon.
That bag is also precious. Nice job. I will be sure to stop by again.
TFS...
