Cuttlebug Blog challenge

Here is my project for The Cuttlebug blog challenge.  I hope it is worthy enough to be chosen to win the expression machine. 

Imade this cute tote bag to hold 3x3 note cards.  I found the tutorial on Splitcoaststampers under resources.  I used the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder to emboss the bag.  The cardstock I used is from Stampin Up.  The scalloped circle on the tote is from my Spellbinders Nestabilities and the circle is a punch.  The sentiment is hand-written.  Then I made these 3x3 note cards with a birthday theme.  I used the same Stampin Up cardstock, some printed paper from my stash, the cheap white walmart cardstock for the base of the cards and a free digi stmap image from cuddlybuddly.com, some ribbon from my stash and markers to color the image.  I used the Swiss Dots folder here as well.  I also used my Cuttlebug to cut the scalloped circle with my Spellbinders Nestabilities.  A Martha Stewart border punch completed the look.  So what do you all think?
