Stationery Tote

I saw this tutorial FREE on Inking Idaho during Christmas break. I tried to make it, and then I realized I didn't have an oval and an oval scallop punch. Luckily, my savvy husband bought me an oval scallop for Christmas. However, he had no idea I needed the plain oval as well. I finally got it two weeks ago, thanks to Leish. Anyway, last weekend I finally attempted it again. For the cards, I made simple, stamped Kraft cards. I had to trim a jr. legal notepad...a lot to make it fit. There are envies on the left in that pocket. I also covered a binder clip.

I used the flower image from October Afternoon and the sentiment from a Hero Arts set. The patterned paper is PTI's In Bloom. I just got the In Bloom stamp set, and I LOVE IT. It looks comparable to SU's Fifth Avenue Floral, which I want but the price is a little prohibitive.
