Scraps to treasures??

When I saw the challenge over at Raise the Bar I just chuckled because I knew it was the challenge for me. I started out on this project thinking that I would have to break my New Years resolution of using my scraps so I can complete the Raise the Bar challenge. I went and got out my first ever paper pack that I bought which was a 6X6 DP pack (don't know the name since the cover is long gone!). When I started matching other challenges with it I was getting all giddy inside because I was back on my Scrap Wagon again!!!

I went to get new cardstock to make a card and laying on top was this cut but not done tote bag that I had cut out last spring but never used. It fit perfectly into the challenge so I decided to use it. I then broke out the circles that I had punched out of my scraps and made flowers with them to fit into the other challenge. Perhaps I over did it on this little tote but I was just happy that I managed to use my scraps and not break my promise!! I colored my Magnolia stamp with Prismacolor pencils and accented it with some Stickles. The Stickles are still wet in the photo so they really pop out. I popped up my Magnolia stamp with some pop dots for dimension.

The challenges I created this tote for are:

The Play Date Cafe color challenge.
Friday Sketchers Sketch Challenge
Humble Pie FLower challenge. I didn't realize that I didn't have 5 flowers on there until the bag was put together so I quickly stamped some flowers on the background which didn't come out to good since the bag was already put together.
Just MagnoliaHearts & Flowers challenge
Raise the Bar"Older is Better" challenge. My DP is from 2002 or maybe 2003 when I started scrapbooking...think that qualifies???? LOL
The Corrosive Challenge LOVE
