First I had a great meal with Corris and Gayle at Bleu, which is right around the corner from Heidi's.
Then I got to sit and craft with them, and Rocker Jen and Yvonne and RosieB and Kahena, and great new member, Caroline.
The photo above is a little dark, but it is an adorable little tote bag, decorated with Bella Bleu designer paper from Stampin' Up. When the bag opens, you see:
Inside are two holders, one for the envelopes and one for the notecards. All coordinate with the tote. The four cards we made are here:
Just so you know, Heidi got her inspiration for this project from Patty Bennett's blog. Sorry I didn't have this one in my arsenal before the holidays!

Very nice! What a great project! The holidays may be just about over, but there are birthdays and Mother's Day coming up in the not too distant future! Maybe if I get started now, I will be ready when the events get here! Thanks for sharing!

We did have a sizzlin' good time didn't we?! LOL
But seriously, like you, I sort of signed up for the fun friends, food and wine ... and came away with a fantastic project. So cute, in fact, that I think I'll just have to keep it for myself. Hehe.
OHHHH That is really neat!! and the cards are BEAUTIFUL!
I love it Eileen!!! You do such beautiful work :o)

Nice . . .very nice! One can never have too many cards. Huuuummm, speaking of cards, I guess I should make some while I'm off work this week. Oh wait, I haven't finished my 12 tags of Christmas yet! Where is the time going???? urrrrrr
Gorgeous cards, and what a great idea for the storage of the envelopes and cards! Those papers are very elegant. And it doesn't look like you consumed too much wine prior to making the project, LOL! Thanks for sharing!
