scrap totes

Posted By	Message
RyansMommy	I am looking for a large scrapbook tote to store most of my stuff. I have been reading that the crop in style XXL is the largest avail. Does anyone have it? What you like/dislike about it. Ive read that its heavy full but I am not really looking to travel w/ it, just inside my house. Or if anyone has another one? Which and would you recommend it? Thanks! Posted 1/3/06 9:00 PM
Lisa	I have the XXL tote and I LOVE it. Yes it gets heavy but it holds SOOO much stuff!! I can get a ton of paper in it, along with all my tools and I love the pockets on the outside....get way to orgainize all your stuff. Christine has a nice one from Fiskers but Im not sure if it sold anymore (one of my friends has been looking for it forever) Maybe she can give you more info on how she likes it.

I have a 5 piece set by Fiskars that I bought at HSN. It has a GIGANTIC bag with several storage pieces: 2 paper sorters, 1 embellishment box, one binder for embossing templates that can be used for stickers. There are a million pockets for tools, punches, etc. The flap can be held open by a velco strap for full access or it can be zipped shut which would provide a sturdy surface to set tools and such to the side. The wheels swivel so it's easy to maneuver. It comes with a chair cushion and rain cover thing. I paid about $135 for it. Posted 1/4/06 2:30 PM
RyansMommy	Well after days of researching it and a 50% off coupon, I went and got the CIS XXL for $65. So we'll see how it works. It looks more than big enough plus I bought a plastic paper keeper that holds up to 500 sheets of paper to put in it. Hopefully this will be the end of my scrap mess! Thanks for your feedback!!!
