Design Your Own Travel Case

With summer slowing down and the kids heading back to school, now is a perfect time to go through all those photos,  keepsakes, post cards, tags and memorabilia from you travels.

Tracy here from the Idea Closet. I love to scrapbook my photos in either mini albums or digital albums but what to do with all those keepsakes that you collected?  How about a Travel Case?

SVG Attic has the perfect solution.

The JGW Fashionably French collection has this adorable Round Travel Case.

I have to admit, this is one of my favorite files and I have made this project many, many times.  I love how versatile it is. You can change the theme of your case just by changing the colors and paper you use.

For this case I used paper from Authenique and went with a more 70's look.
In fact when I was working on it, I was reminded of my parents old station wagon with the wood grain sides (did I just age myself?)

The file comes with lots of extras but because the paper I used was so busy I decided to omit most of them and keep it very simple.
I also deleted of all the little brad holes around the lid too, just because I really liked the look of the wood grain paper.

I used the tag but created my own little route 66 sign to add to it.




Another fun part of this design is the feet!

If you decide you want to make this case Jodi has very detailed, step by step instructions here.



Here is one more look at the front.
I hope you will give this project a try.

Travel Case for a magical vacation

Tracy here from the Idea Closet and I am so excited to share my new project with you.

Next month we are doing a family vacation to the happiest place on earth, so in honor of that trip I created a travel case that is perfect for gathering all our little paper keepsakes: tickets, maps, etc.

To create this case I started with the  Round Traveling Case from the 

JGW Fashionably French Kit.

To decorate the front of the case I used the film frames and tickets from the 

CG Box Cards Kit- the Movie Box Card.

I also added some flowers and created the heads using basic circle shapes.

Here are some close ups of the details on the case.

This is such a fun project and can be used in so many ways. I hope you will give it a try.

Travel Time ~ with Cyndy G.

Hello, happy Friday!  Here in the South we are starting to see spring in full bloom and everything looks beautiful!  We have had a few cold days but we know the warm weather is right around the corner and you can see it everywhere you look.

All this warm weather gets me thinking about taking a vacation!  One of our favorite places to visit is Charleston, SC.  It has beautiful Southern Charm.  So this brings me to today's project.  I decided to make the round travel case from JGW Fashionably French.  This is a favorite of mine.

I used Authentique Classique Beauty and it is beautiful!

One of the things that makes this a favorite of mine is all the little detail.  The brads or eyelets around the edge of the lid, down to the little "feet" on the case.  It also a nice size so you can use it as a gift box and it's not too hard to put together.  It has straight edges.  This gives you more guidance than a circle (I think).  If you haven't tried this one, you should I think you will like it as much as I do.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.  Thank you for stopping by.

We'll Always Have Paris ~ with Cyndy

We'll always have Paris (this line was used in at least seven different movies).  That's what I think when I look at the 3d Eiffel Tower from SDS Paris Voyage.  Summer always makes me dream about traveling to far away places and Paris is definitely on my list of places I want to see.  I had been holding on to a stash of Graphic 45, Come Away With Me ~ waiting for the perfect project and I knew this was it!

The Round Traveling Case from JGW Fashionable French went together so nicely.  It has straight edges that make it easier to put together.  Just take an extra minute to make sure your top strap is facing the right way (I put mine on backwards).  I didn't re-size this box.

The 3d Eiffel Tower  is from SDS Paris Voyage, I cut this at the size it imports.  Make sure to take a look at the directions for this one, it is a little tricky.  I love the detail in this file, it is worth the time to put it together.

The Bi-plane is in the JGW Flight School and is really cute. 

 It's smaller than I thought it would be, so I didn't have to re-size it.  

The train is from JGW Christmas Express.  It was too big so I cut it out at 50%.  I left off the Christmas elements and added some squares on the box car to make it look like a passenger car.

I put floral foam blocks in the bottom of the case and covered them with my shredded paper.  I used floral wire with the plane to make it look like it was flying.  I feed it through the tail and then looped it back around  and stuck the end in the foam block.

I just love the way everything turned out!  

The Graphic 45 paper fit the project perfectly, I'm glad I still had it. 

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed my project.

Let's go on an Adventure ~ with Angeline Choo

Stucked at work? Need a break? Longing for a holiday?

Well, I made a travel suitcase -- and I'm ready for an adventure!! :) 

Well, ok.. Not really going to Hawaii at this moment, but one can dream right? :)

I actually turned the First Aid Box from the "Feel Better soon" kit into a travel suitcase! I love that the kits from SVG Attic are always so versatile and could be changed from it's original intended "design".

I got some travel themed stickers and layered them on the suitcase, reminding me of all those nasty sticky stickers that I find so difficult to get off your suitcase at times. I even made a luggage tag and tied it with twine to the handle.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hope you have an awesome adventure this week.
