For those of you who have this rolling tote and if you also scrapbook, can you tell me if it's around the same size as the Jumbo XXL roller tote for scrapbooking? Or can you give me the size dimensions of the show to go roller??

I want a roller piece for transporting stuff to/from shows and if the show to go piece is around the same size I will just purchase the scrapbooking roller for $75 at Micheals on add and save $15! Otherwise, if it's bigger than I should probably invest in it!

Thanks for any input!
 
I have a large rolling tote from Michaels, I believe the one from P/C is quite a bit larger.

I have a scrapbook rolling case and the show to go rolling case. What will be worth the $15 to you is the inside pockets on the Rolling Case. They are all super padded to hold things like simple additions and stoneware, etc. It's pretty customized and if you are planning on spending the money anyway, I'd go for the show to go hands down.
 
I used the rolling case for scrapbooking, thought about buying the creative memories rolling case but why spend the 120 they charge when the PC one is just as big. I have the original sizzix die cut machine with the shadowbox and lollipop alphabet dies (each set is in about a 13x9 cupcake carrier for storing) and when you take out the middle section on the case you can fit the two cupcake carriers with the dies, the sizzix machine and another small box with my other loose dies. I put my other scrapbook items in the other PC tote and set it on top of the rolling tote. It is great.

I just took my dies to my friends house for scrapbooking since she doesn't have any and uses mine whenever possible, when I go to a crop this Friday I will just have my scrapbooking supplies in it (album, paper, etc), I figure it will also be advertising that I sell PC to the other croppers when they see the bag.
