Can you believe it ....I found you again. I had packed this bag 3 years ago and then stupid me emptied it and now I need to pack it again. I have spent about an hour looking for you .... and I said a little prayer and I found you and my post !!!!!

[@AmberGarrett-py6ry]

The journal you colored is Stunning!

[@tinajglover3624]

I so love your videos and look forward to every new one! You offer so much inspiration. I love knowing that I'm not the only one that tends to need the kitchen sink with them when they go out the door. Tfs.

[@BeautifulCreatives]

Oh!!! Thank you, Miss Tina!! You have made my morning!!! Yes, we are kindred spirits!! I am sure if I could figure out how to pack the kitchen sink into my little art bag - you have to know that I TOTALLY would!!! Mama needs lots and LOTS of options!!! ;-)

[@paisleyturtle]

Thank you for sharing this! I have been trying to get my kit together for a few months and this was so inspiring! I am going to get my kit together TOMORROW! And I'm now also a subscriber!

[@BeautifulCreatives]

Thank you so much for watching! I am very glad that you enjoyed this video!! Art bag videos are one of my favorite kind of videos to watch - I am always looking for better ways to get more of my art stash to come along with me! Thanks for watching! ~Chrissie ;-)

[@debbielee93]

I loved this video!! this is perfect

[@mommajones86]

That was a great and thanks so much! You and I like a lot of the same things, so that made this extra special.

[@BeautifulCreatives]

I'm so glad!

[@kimmieRH05]

I came across this and had to watch. I bought this same bag in hopes I could finally put together a travel bag that works. (I have an art supply problem and want to take everything....) My daughter is an open champion competitive Irish dancer, so I can spend up to 15 hours a week at her dance studio and have to have my art with me. Plus we travel frequently for competitions. I was absolutely amazed at how much I could fit in this bag. I also carry quite a bit in my "purse" and just carry whatever larger journal I may want. (I also carry a smaller handmade one in the 360 bag) This bag actually works for taking lots of my favorite supplies. Thanks for sharing!! 👍🏼💕

[@BeautifulCreatives]

Thank you, Kimberly! Yes, if I spent 15 hours a week in your daughter's dance studio, I think that I would need my art supplies with me too. I definitely understand the "art supply problem"! Hee! Hee! This bag would definitely serve that purpose!! Thanks for watching!! ~Chrissie ;-)

[@looloosupertramp415]

Love this video! Gave me many storage ideas for traveling with art supplies.

[@BeautifulCreatives]

Excellent, LooLoo!! I am happy to be of help!! TFW! ~Chrissie ;-)

[@emmascreativecorner1606]

Great travel kit. You've managed to get so much in there and it looks really cute too!

[@BeautifulCreatives]

Thank you, Miss Emma!! Yes, I LOVE this set up!! It works really well to give me LOTS of options!! :-)

[@stampingchaylina]

Thank you so much for sharing this....what a great art bag and supplies....you have given me some great ideas, and taken the guess work out of what to bring when traveling or on the go....now for the gathering and packing:)

[@BeautifulCreatives]

You are most welcome!! I really love my travel set up! It is uber helpful!! Thanks for watching!! :-)

[@strawbrryfld1]

I got my bag at Michaels and can't live without it now !!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT ! The ONLY complaint I have is its just a tiny bit on the small side ...HINT HINT HINT I could REALLY use THIS bag in a larger size as well (and yeah I saw the other bag in Michaels, which was a "larger"bag, but it just wasn't the same as this one !!!!)

[@BeautifulCreatives]

Thank you, Kimberly! Trust me, I can TOTALLY relate to wanting a larger bag! LOL!! But this little bag, is still my fave, hands down! Thanks for watching! ~Chrissie ;-)

[@christennacarr2917]

I use this same bag for my art . I even took it with me to Florida for an art retreat. I'm so glad other people have the same idea as me.

[@BeautifulCreatives]

christenna carr you know what they say about great minds!!!! 😊

[@lesleydeeming9479]

Love your bag with all its yummy contents...TFS 😊

[@BeautifulCreatives]

Thank you, miss Lesley!! :-)

[@terrieisanaudioslave]

This is so great to find tonight. I have the same bag and I'm going to Hawaii from Pennsylvania soon. I was going to use that bag and use a altered comp book I am preparing for all of my substrate art needs. You gave my memory a jog on some the supplies you were bringing. I had not really been thinking of bringing my Stabilo All Pencils. Great call! I just found you and I'm so liking this. Thanks for sharing. I might do a vid of my own. I am the worst packer because as you feel, I don't know what I want to do for too long. Very cool! Terrie

[@BeautifulCreatives]

Oh, then this video came out just in time!!! ;-) You are most welcome, Miss Terrie!!! If you do share a video, please let me know so I can check it out!! ;-)

[@maghfirayuwanti3059]

love your stuff😍

[@BeautifulCreatives]

Thank you, Maghfira!!! ~Chrissie :-)

[@roseflower317]

Lovely bag!:) I have a couple of the TH stencils without the name printed on them too; I cut the name off the packaging and taped it on the stencil, but it was so convenient to have it pre-printed from the manufacturer. I always look forward to your videos, TFS:)

[@BeautifulCreatives]

Thank you, RoseFlower! That is a GREAT idea!! I may have to "borrow" that! ;-) I am so glad you enjoy watching them! That is why I do what I do!! :-)

[@dawncfoster7698]

Wonderful ideas and spoken well. Thank u

[@BeautifulCreatives]

Thank you, Dawn! :-)

[@strawbrryfld1]

You should TOTALLY see what I ve got crammed into mine !!! Poor thing is BUSTIN at the zips !!! I've got a full set of prismacolor pencils (not the 150 set the 132 SET) they ARE stored inside two pencil holders . I LOVE the fact you put rubber stamps in yours !!! I NEVER thought of that ! Don't know why ... being REALLY into mixed media art....DUH on me !! Love the vids !!

[@BeautifulCreatives]

That is awesome, Kimberly! Right now I have an entire set of intense pencils in my - the struggle is real! LOL!!! Yes, someone gave me the idea of putting some washing tapes on a playing card instead of taking full rolls - so smart!! This is why I share, so that you can learn from me, and I can then learn from others, in turn! :-) I am super happy to hear that you are enjoying my videos! That is AWESOME!! ~Chrissie ;-)

[@Danadane314]

Love you back!😘

[@BeautifulCreatives]

xoxoxo ;-)

[@AnnRicci]

Am going to Hawaii in a couple of weeks and want to pack an art bag (13 hours on the plane :( .... I know you posted this awhile ago but I feel that I was drawn to your video because it was posted on October 3rd .... which is my birthday. I love the variety that you have in your kit .... will watch again and make a packing list ... thank you !!!!!!

[@sharol.fowler3130]

I also have these bags they are well made I have a habit of losing parts and pieces so I decided this year was going to be better for organizing as the beginning of I buy it I put it where it goes, I bought myself a DVD player and also found to my surprise it was also a TV so Yes all the pieces and booklet fits inside the bag, 9 " DVD, just thought I would share love your art and videos.

[@BeautifulCreatives]

Thanks for watching, Sharon! Yes, putting things away as soon as you buy it is so smart, but something, that I too, struggle with!! The struggle is real!! ~Chrissie ;-)

[@angieconley6501]

Do you have a video that shows how you made your watercolor book?

[@emmanashdavis1326]

I have the same bag, live it also got a knockoff bible bag which I carry out with me on bad weather day. Both bags carry about the same amount.

[@bmr208]

this is my art travel bag as well

[@BeautifulCreatives]

Yes, even after a year, I still love it!!! TFW!!! ~Chrissie ;-)

[@Kate606656]

I have that bag so it's great to see what can fit in it and get ideas for my holiday to Hawaii in April. Have you thought about wrapping some washi tape around playing cards instead of taking the whole roll..... you could take 3 times the amount then!!!!

[@BeautifulCreatives]

Kate! Thanks so much for watching!! Washi tape around a playing card? No, I had never thought of that, but it is INGENIOUS, and I will be adopting that practice ASAP!!! Thanks for the hint!! You will have to tell me how your Hawaii trip goes!! Hugs to you! ~Chrissie ;-)

[@cydengel]

Even better are old hotel access key cards...like a blank credit card. Also great for tracing out little frames for a drawing!

[@m7179]

Hi there, I would LOVE to order this bag online, but I can't find it anywhere. Not even on Ebay. Do you have any idea where this migh be accessible?

[@BeautifulCreatives]

Hi, Marta! It looks like this bag is available in a few places, and the cost is about $29. Go to google and type in "Create 365 Planner Storage Case", tonight I saw this on both Target's websites, and Etsy! Good luck! ~Chrissie ;-)

[@cgriffisteach1]

Please explain the swatch kit you made yourself...how did you create it? It can be replenished?

[@BeautifulCreatives]

Cindy, this is called a Peerless watercolor palette! I will have to do a KZbin tutorial to show you how I created it! It is super simple, but it did take some time to make! :-)

[@HippieStarrGirl]

Cindy Griffis is

[@chantaldowling4342]

What type of paper is your peerless palette made out of?

[@BeautifulCreatives]

I used pages from a Strathmore Mixed Media Journal. Like this one: www.amazon.com/Strathmore-Visual-Journal-Vellum-Sheets/dp/B003YIZ0HI/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1481339167&sr=8-4&keywords=art+journal ~Chrissie :-)

[@gr57mb]

Is the 365 bag larger than the similar weekend make-up bags? What brand was that pencil sharpener? Will it work with jumbo pencils, too? The only times I've ever gotten really sharp points were with the huge electric sharpener at work, and it was SO loud.

[@BeautifulCreatives]

I think it is a little bigger. The measurements according to it's listing on Walmart is: 12" x 10.5" x 4". And the pencil sharpener I carry with me is a KUM Ellipse pencil sharpener! I am not sure if it will work with large pencils - I will have to check!! I do have a big electric one at home too, but I do not carry it with me? Thanks for watching, Phyllis! :-)

[@BeautifulCreatives]

If it helps, I used to use a travel toiletries bag, like a weekend make-up bag before I moved to this bag! :-)

[@gr57mb]

Thanks. Really enjoy your videos!

[@BeautifulCreatives]

Thanks so much, miss Phyllis!! I am glad you are enjoying them!! More to come!!! ;-)

[@edwinaquintero6700]

where can u find art bag... i love it. ❤❤❤

[@BeautifulCreatives]

I picked mine up at our local craft store, but here is a link to it on Amazon: www.amazon.com/ideas-Striped-Storage-Case-Planner/dp/B01BULCHAII am glad you liked it Edwina!! :-)~Chrissie ;-)

[@francesschatz3131]

Yes

[@desireelou9048]

Ok sorry if this sounds mean but this is a serious question... when do you need a scratchy white line?

[@BeautifulCreatives]

Good morning, Desiree! No worries, I don't think your question sounds mean at all. I am not sure what you are referring too, I have to go back and watch this video again to find out. I like to create scratchy white lines in a lot of my art work, as well as black scratchy lines, and grey scratchy lines too - I really like grunging up my artwork!!! Let me check out this video again, since it was more than a year since I created it, and I will get back to you! Thanks so much for the questions, Desiree!! ~Chrissie ;-)

[@desireelou9048]

Beautiful Creatives ya I just didn’t understand wear exactly that could be used

[@kay-ro4dn]

where is the bag from?

[@BeautifulCreatives]

I got this at a store called Craft Warehouse, but they have them at a lot of major craft stores, like Michaels! Thanks for watching! ~Chrissie ;-)

[@temikeuchiha7154]

Where did you get the bag

[@BeautifulCreatives]

Te mike Uchiha this called a Happy Planner Storage Case, I think I got mine at a local art supply store, but here is the link to this bag on the Happy Planner website: shop.meandmybigideas.com/products/striped-storage-case I hope this helps! Chrissie 😊

[@strawbrryfld1]

Te mike Uchiha Hello !!!! I bought mine at Michaels. They were out of stock for several weeks after bought mine but they brought more in !! ( I think I am going to buy another one! ) They are a "bit pricey" (for me anyway - starving artist !!! ) BUT I used a 50% coupon on mine !!!
