Cavallini

Once I got rolling on this project, I had so much fun creating my Cavallini Suitcase Mini-Scrapbook!  I knew I wanted to do something 3-dimmensional, and I just happened to have the uniquely shaped box in my supply closet.  The travel paper is, of course, Cavallini.  The straps are made with Grungepaper decoupaged with a textured paper, giving them a leather look.  The buckles are simply Tim Holtz idea-ology D-rings.  The handle is from 7 gypsies.

Once you pop open the side/lid of the box, a cascade of ribbons, chains, and pictures from some of the travels Matt and I have taken through the years hangs from the lid.  I love to see new things and share experiences with my husband!  Nowadays, most of our big plans to see the world get put on the back burner, but a life with a bit more freedom will be here soon enough, and we wouldn’t trade this time for anything.

All the papers and accessories can be found at Mystic Paper!  I can’t wait to see what the next year holds in store!
