My project features the Suitcase Mini Book file. Please leave a comment below and I will randomly select a winner on Saturday (have comments made by noon central time) to receive the file! How exciting is that?! If you are hopping along in order, you should have come here from Lisa Minckler’s blog. If not, head to the beginning of the hop with Regina Easter’s blog. Just in case you get lost, follow the order below:
Now here is my project…
I have created an altered picture frame using the Suitcase Mini Book to add more photos (there are five pages under the decorated cover of the suitcase). I used K & Company’s Around the World by Brenda Walton paper and embellishments. I added my own sentiment, which I punched out with a scalloped square punch. The corners and handle also come in the file. The straps come in the file also, but I did not use them, instead using a snakeskin pattern ribbon. I used tiny flat back pearls as the rivets and framed pearl brads to hold all the pages together at the handles. This was a fun project! Here are a couple more views…
Remember, leave a comment by noon central time on Saturday, August 31 and you could win the Suitcase Mini Book File! To continue on with the blog hop, you should now go to visit Leslie Foley! If you want to watch my video before you hop to Leslie’s blog, here it is…thanks for watching!
