This was my first project to celebrate the New Year. Being that 2010 is the year of the Tiger, I decorated my "designer bag" with the tiger head cut from Animal Kingdom. Originally I had hoped to find a fiercer looking tiger and do a cut with SCAL, but being that I was short on time, I had to settle with this "cute" tiger instead. Used my new Pagoda cartridge (thanks, Kris!) for the bamboo cuts behind the tiger and Plantin Schoolbook with welding in Design Studio for the "Happy New Year".
Here's the back view of the bag...
Back of the bag decorated with more bamboo from the Pagoda cartridge and "2010" cut with Plantin Schoolbook. The gold prismatic paper is just wrapping paper cut to fit, and the red Asian borders on the top and bottom were cut from Japanese washi paper.
I used the tutorial created by Cambria Turnbow on her blog, "Stamp A Little Love, Baby" to make the designer bags, but altered the size to a larger size to accomadate my goodies. For my bag, I cut the bottom box piece to 4-1/2"x6-1/2" and followed the rest of her instructions.

Happy New Year Eunice! This bag is just gorgeous!!! Maybe I should start going to the Cricut meetings at Brian's. Is there a fee to join the club? At least if I go to the meetings, that'll inspire me to use my Cricut! Love all your projects, you Cricut Queen you! xoxo, Linda
