REVIEW

If you’ve been a Vanilla Joy reader for any time at all, you know that I am a sucker for bags, boxes, and containers of any kind. I just love putting all my stuff in pockets and pouches!

Well, a scrapbooking tote is a new kind of bag for me,and I have to say that I am in love with the Travelmate by Mimi Collections because it’s

  • pretty
  • sturdy
  • comes in 5 different colors
  • full of pockets, and
  • BIG

All the things a craft tote bag should be.

I love scrapbooking with other women, and getting my stuff from here to there has always been a huge pain with lots of close calls. Of all the scrapbooking totes out there, I wanted to feature The Travelmate by Mimi Collections because it is the perfect size and shape for all your crafting supplies.

The top two pictures in my collage are of the bag completely open. The left side comes with a 12×12 paper organizer, big and sturdy enough to transport all that precious paper safely with the two secure straps. And there’s room left over for other large items like paper cutters, even the EK Success Cutterpede rotary cutter that has a pretty tall blade case.

The other side (detail photo is on the bottom right) has several pockets and pouches for smaller tools and supplies. I was able to fit everything I needed with room to spare. Towards the end of my packing, I was trying to think of more stuff to take to fill up the extra space! I have my Cuttlebug embossing folders, Glue Dots, EK Success stickers, Creative Memories Shape Makers and Corner Rounder, ink, and hard embellishments. All that stuff and there’s room for more!

The bottom left picture is of the pocket on the front of the bag. It’s deep enough to completely conceal my Simple Scrapbooks magazine, Cards magazine, and photo organizer with 3 mesh pockets for even more stuff. I left those empty because I couldn’t think of anything to put in them!

This bag is easy to work out of once you get where you’re going. I have easy access to everything I need without having to unload it all like I did before the Travelmate.

And if you sew instead of scrapbook, you can take the paper organizer out of the left side and use it to hold your fabric with all your little tools and supplies in the pockets on the right.

This craft tote is perfect for any hobby, for walking across the street to your girlfriend’s house, or as a carry on when flying (just be sure you check anything sharp…). I’m going to be scrapbooking away from home much more often, I think…

  7. Aside from the Scrap Tote (which I LOVE), I also really like their crafter’s handbag with the mod circles. I’m never mod, but that might help me get there. :D

  8. The Travelmate that you are giving away is my favorite product on their site. It would be perfect for when I get together at my friend’s houses to scrap! Although, I also really like the Crafters Handbag Tote in Mod Dots– it’s super cute as well.

  10. I would love to have the urban stamp tote in kiwi/chocolate. I love stamps and it would be fun to take them to my Mother-in-laws house when we make cards or scrapbook.

  12. I love their stamp cases. I have some small alphabet stamps that I need to be able to travel with and these would be great!

  16. Oh I really like the Embellishment Tote-Lilac/Chocolate product! That’s seriously what I need to get my stuff in order and able to travel for scraping parties!

  30. I’m in love with the Medium Wheeled Tote (Basic Black) #M0301! This tote would be perfect for my upcoming trip to Indianapolis where ATCSForAll is having their first conference. It qualifies for carry-on size and holds absolutely everything you need to scrap & crop from home with. 18 pockets, Dual in-line wheels, telescoping (locking) handle, top, front or side load options and it collapses for easy storage. I’m all over that tote! And, I could definitely use the tote you’re giving away for the Conference and my away-from-home crops.

  55. I really, really, really want that kiwi and chocolate rolling tote….it would so match my scraproom decor, and be handy when I get to crop and travel–everything in one place!

  70. Oh this travel mate scrap tote is just awsome! There is nothing like going in style when you go scrapbooking or card making. I love the name Lilac/Chocolate. Chocolate is the company but chocolate is a scrappers best friend!! So it is perfect. If I don’t win who ever does will enjoy this tote. I know I sure would. My friends know that organized is not my middle name. (ha! ha!) Good luck to all and to me too!!!!!

  138. First of all, I love the designs and patterns on the Mimi Collection! I have a serious need for a scrapbook tote…as I’ve been using cardboard boxes! The other item on the website that I would love is some of the 12×12 paper organizers. My paper is always getting bent and torn when I take it to crops.

  143. My favorite would be the paper carrying case. I currently have all of my paper stored in a drawer but the case looks so much easier since I wouldnt have to rifle through it all the time. I’m a big fan of organizing products!

  163. I just love the yarn daddy!!! I have just started crocheting and this is soooo cool! I like being able to take my crocheting around with me and I like the various features. I’m going back to the site and seeing if they are sold in my area. Thanks for the link!

  167. I love the lilac and brown large-wheeled tote because I am always going to other places to scrapbook. This would be such a great storage tote!

    Thanks for another great giveaway!

  173. The Travel Tote would be the perfect solution as much easier to transport than Rubbermaid containers not only when going to a friend’s but from my upstairs closet to my downstairs crafting area.
