Mama Elephant-Monkey Bag

Hi there! Today I’m sharing these cute tote bags over on the Mama Elephant blog featuring the Favor Bag Accessory-Monkey Creative Cuts.Mama Elephant-Favor Bag Accessory-Monkey & Tote Bag 3D-XL Creative CutsTo create the tote bag I used the Tote Bag 3D-XL Creative Cuts with some rainbow patter paper by Lawn Fawn. This paper has my heart, but the monkey deserves the very best:)

Mama Elephant-Favor Bag Accessory-Monkey & Tote Bag 3D-XL Creative CutsOn the back of the tote bag I used one of the pocket dies from the Tote Bag 3D-XL Creative Cuts that holds a gift card perfectly. Now I would fill that tote with some Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate with Caramel & Sea Salt. What a perfect little gift it would be…monkey, rainbow, itunes & dark chocolate:)
