She plays with paper

This is my latest project. I have been wanting to to this

for quite some time now and the other night while watching

TV with hubby there was no better time to start. Are you

like that? I hate to just sit and watch that thing and do

nothing else. This was a perfect project. Just start ripping

paper and gluing it on the suitcase.

Now please don't look too close because I haven't done

this for years and I have noticed several boo boo's I made

along the way. #1. I realized there should probably not be any white

showing on the edges, but too late.

#2. I could have gone over the white edges lightly with

some stain or ink pad, but Sandi got in a hurry and

had already sealed the outside too!

#3. There are some places I had to fill in with tiny pieces

of paper and now I really should go over them with

larger pieces to make it look better.

I do love how it turned out over all though.

I just may pack my suitcase and travel the country! lol

I added a couple tags that I had made along with some ribbon and string.

I am guessing that this bag could not get lost on an

airplane...but then maybe it could. :)

Now to do something with the inside. I really did this

just for fun and to sit around, but the inside is

a dark burgundy...ugh it just doesn't go!

So what do you think? Something fun to sit and stare

at even with all the mistakes??

I am now on the hunt for more suitcases...cheap!

The first day I started this I only finished one side because

I thought "oh I need to take a before picture". So I get up

the next day all set to get started again and start I did. Never looked back until it was done! And then I remembered

that I was going to take a BEFORE photo...oh well...

Happy Thursday...may you be blessed!
