Hello All,
Being the first Monday of July,
it is the day of our new challenge at
Crafty Secrets!
Our theme for the designers this month is
"Time for Fun"
meaning Travel and Vacation....
or as I like to call it....
Summer Fun!!
In keeping with the theme
I decided to make a "faux" alligator suitcase!
How fun is that!!!
I used Digital Radiant Paper Collection
for the base of the suitcase....
such a pretty, pretty color!
The little luggage tags were cut from
Heartwarming Vintage Cuts "Adventures & Travel".
First I used a Sizzix die.
I bought this die right after Christmas
on the Sizzix sight. It was originally
$59.95 on sale for $5.00
wow...who doesn't love a sale
Now just finish/assemble your project....have some fun with this,
it is so EASY!
