Have you seen the latest Moxie Fab World 'Bag Lady' challenge? Cath has posted so many cool bags for our viewing pleasure. :) You should join in too! Just pick a bag that inspires you and create something based off of it. 
As soon as I saw this bag, I knew I had to recreate it... paper style! I matched the fabric squares as close as I could to patterned paper and stitched everything together. The hardware is by We R Memory Keepers. I didn't want a sentiment that would take away from the quilted front, so I chose a tiny rub-on from Melissa Frances and applied it to the 'strap' of my card.
This was a labor of love, but was a lot of fun to make!

Good Grief Julie, how long did it take you to do this? It's incredible. It looks like something that could be framed. The hardware alone is striking wwithout the added benefit of the stitched paper quilt section. I am amazed at just how closely you matched the patterns/designs! It proves that we collect too much PP doesn't it? *grin*
