Luggage for the Trip

I've had this idea in my head for a couple weeks now, and today's Ways to Use It Challenge was just the reason to make it happen! I thought this lunch tin from All That Scraps would be perfect paired with Going Places by My Favorite Things. Since today's challenge was to "Get Packing," I created a little "luggage" for my two little girls. We are going on a Disney Cruise in a few weeks (yipee!!), so this will hold their crayons, papers and travel games while we drive to Florida.

I covered the lunch tin with paper from K&Company and some Chocolate Chip grosgrain. I sanded the edges of the paper and sponged them with Walnut Stain Distress Ink. I stamped the image, paper pieced her dress, and colored the rest with Copics. The luggage was stamped on more patterned paper and cut out. All the edges of the images and sentiment were sponged with the Distress Ink. The tag is one I've had in my stash for a while. I actually bought it already stained, but I added more Distress Ink to the edges and drew some faux stitching.

I had a lot of fun making this -- I hope the girls have fun using it! I'll be back tomorrow with AmyR's Friday Sketch, and Saturday I'll start the previews of the June C.C. Designs releases! Thanks so much for stopping by -- I really do appreciate it! :)
