Stampendous and Canvas Corp Canvas Shoulder Bag!

We are hoppin' this week with Canvas Corp® and Stampendous! We are featuring this adorable little shoulder bag!

You can win AWESOME prizes! Go Here to see Official Contest Rules

Australian fans can comment for a chance to win a Stampendous Stamp, a Dreamweaver Stencil and a surprise Stampendous goodie.

Now your going to see lots of creative ways to use this bag from my fellow design team members . . . So my choice on how to decorate it might not make sense, so let me explain. My family LOVES to save gift bags. (Alright stop judging, you know you do it too!) So when I got this little bag I knew right away I was making a Happy Birthday bag! This bag will stay in my family for years. Each family member re-gifting it back and forth over the years. My mother holds the record with a white box with a beautiful lid and bow she received from her wedding. She re-gifted that stinkin box for 35 years back and forth every year. I know we're weird . . . what can I say we have a thing for boxes and bags.
