Jan Humphreys added a "Convertible Strap" to her Sling Along so she could have the option of carrying a true backpack. She says it turned out quite nice & is looking forward to using it!

I recently spied this cork & cotton Cignet Phone Pal on Instagram & fell in love with it! It was created by #mamajay55 with an "Alice in Wonderland" theme and how about that very cool zipper pull?

And Karen Heger has been a busy gal indeed having just completed this impressive Walkabout Wallet. Varying shades of grey is always a great go-to palette & the pink highlights in the interior are perfection!

Karen Heger also found time to make up our newest design, the Cignet Phone Pal, and it certainly has a full-on "electric" vibe, right?
