The theme for this month’s swap was 3-D Mother’s Day/Easter/Spring. I was kind of “stretching it” and added a tag that said “mom” on it, so I guess this technically fits the theme. LOL This gift idea is for the SERIOUS SHOPPER! 
This is a shopping bag, and I got the pattern off the Demonstrator site. Did you know if you are a demonstrator, you have access to MANY MANY free patterns and templates? See previous post HERE if you are interested in becoming a demonstrator! 
On the inside of the shopping bag is what every shopper needs, a VISA card!! LOL Just kidding! I couldn’t afford to get all the weSTAMP swappers a REAL Visa card, so I had to make my own. I did it by finding one on the internet and printing it on glossy paper to resemble a REAL Visa card. 
On the inside of the Visa card, I made up a poem, then added some Ghiradelli chocolate. Every shopper needs chocolate to keep her going!

Hi Lorri! Where did you find the pattern for making this bag on the demo website? I was looking under patterns, and was not sure which one it was. Thanks for the cute ideas!
