I am looking to get a big tote. I was wondering which you all prefer. I do a considerable amount of scrapping as well as cardmaking, and right now these totes are on sale at Jo Ann's online with free shipping as well. The XXL is 77.99 and the Stamp and Store is 90.99. They are both generally 129.99. I don't have a Jo Ann's or Michaels near me so I have to resort to online. Thanks for your advice!

My DH bought me the XXL for my birthday. I LOVE IT!!!! I think if you look up the dimensions, the XXL is bigger. Mine is very full because I keep all of my stampin supplies in it; therefore, it is also very heavy. It's pretty funny watching me lug it down the steps to I can go stampin at a neighbor's house. Just something to keep in mind.
I have the Stamp and Store and love it!! But I'm a demo and use it for my workshops. I don't keep much scrapbooking stuff in there except for the occasional 6x6 page I might demonstrate. It's great for me, but if I had to carry around 12x12 paper or other scrapbooking supplies I might try something else.
Edited to add: I love the shelves in the stamp and store! I'm not so sure they are all that useful to a scrapbooker cause you can't fit any albums there. They are made for storing stamps.
I have them both! I got the stamp and store for my birthday a few years ago and LOVE IT! I can fit sooooo much in there! I lived out of that for a long time before I got my stamp room. And this past winter at a stamp/scrap rummage sale i snagged the XXL (used only once)and love that too! I have used that one to store scrapbook stuff in but am going to use it now to tote around my workshop items. I know not much help! But I would say if you are looking for it more for making cards, it fits all the goodies and accessories in. And if you are looking for more the 12x12 scrapbooking! You might want the XXL.
But I do love them both!
I have had the XXL for about two years and I love it. I started out scrapbooking and found that it holds just about everything. I can't compare it to the other bag since I have never seen it. I can only say that I have never had a problem with the XXL and it holds 12X12 items wonderfully.
Thanks for all your replies, I am debating now if I want to spend the 85 dollars on it or save that money for new colors. . . . oh the constraints of budgets!
