Pizza Box Bags

Those scrappers amongst you will understand why I'm using the "pizza box" as a measure from these vinyl/mexician oilcloth carry bags...a standard pizza box will fit our beloved 12 x 12 inch papers! Always a struggle for scrapbookers is the search for the perfect ways to transport our scrapbooking goodies when we get together to scrap (a crop!).

These bags will fit either ONE or TWO standard pizza boxes so you can take your papers/kits to your next crop and look stylish at the same time! The one pizza box size is $25 + postage while the larger two pizza box size is $30 + postage. These bags are unlined with no pockets.

Naked Floral (clear) vinyl or Naked Cupcake (clear) vinyl (not shown)

Unfortunately, as they are made from vinyl/mexician oilcloth, I am unable to make matching camera straps to these particular bags - the vinyl as a camera strap would be a bit to kinky me thinks (as well as being very sweaty!!). I am happy to try and find a fabric that is similar to match your bag!

Interested, please email me at scrapmanda@hotmail.com for more details.

More Straps

The recent Scrapbook and Papercraft Expo in Brisbane was a wonderful chance to catch up with lots of wonderful crafters AND for me to give out my Made.X.Manda business cards. I still have a number of straps available (see below) if you are interested - please email me. Thanks to everyone at the expo that showed an interest in my straps and bags ;) Thanks to Mel, Sara & Drea from Point Shoot Play for letting me hang out in your classroom!

Anyone would think I'd disappeared but life keeps getting in the way of my crafts!!!

As Queen's Birthday weekend approaches I'm frantically sewing up a storm in readiness for the Scrapbook Papercraft Expo Convention at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre.

Some of my goodies will be "on display" with the wonderful ladies at Point Shoot Play in Classroom 9 - be sure to check out the 'exclusive' Arcadia by Sanae for Moda Fabrics - one off straps.

Why not book into one (or all 3) of the three great classes the Point Shoot Play tutors (Mel, Sara, Andrea & Fiona) are offering over the 3 day weekend - check them out via the convention website.

I'll be there over the weekend - if you want to chat about any special strap orders you might have! Hope to see you there!
