Vintage Suitcase Video

 

Hey everyone!  A few months ago I created this Vintage Suitcase for a challenge on the Mini Album Swaps and More facebook page.  The response was so fantastic that I quickley wrote the tutorial  in less than 4 days!  Others requested a video for the project as well... and here it is!  This video is intended to help you create your very own, custome made suitcase and I am very excited to share it with you all!!  This video shows you how to construct the box, as well as, decorating tips and techniques!  Find some time to create this project, then fill it with all your vacation travel memories for the summer!  Here is the link to the previous post about this suitcase (and more pictures).

Travel Bag Mini

 

This album I designed to teach at JoAnn's one of these coming months.  The paper is DCWV "My Sunshine Stack."  Love this paper because it can be used for anything summertime: vacation, riding bikes, going to the park, swimming, etc.  I have about half left that I can't wait to find something to use it on. :) I had a closure on it, but it wasn't working (thus the small holes).  I've just picked up a new one, but haven't put it on yet. There is room for 40+ photos/journaling spots in this book (you could fit all of summer in here).

 

It opens into three sections (there is one under the left half there also). 

 

 

The top part is a 'book' that opens both ways and holds tags.  The bottom is three flip pockets that hold more tags.

 

Inside each tied fold up section is a pocket designed to hold an extra tag, as well as, more places for good size photos.

 

And still there is an even larger tied fold out that holds and extra pocket and an extra page.  This album is approx. 7x5.5x1 and it has a fun handle as well.  Stay in touch for when I will be teaching this album at JoAnn's.  The pattern will be up on my website (which is still in progress) as soon as I get it up :)
