Magnolia Suitcase

Good evening from a very chilly Newcastle ....

We've had some of the most gorgeous Spring weather here of late but it decided yesterday to take a swing back into "turn the electric blanket and heater on" kinda weather!!

I've just spent an awesome weekend with my baby cousin (she's 26!! LOL) hanging out, colouring with the copics and making some bit 'n' pieces .... Sooo much fun ... Unfortunately not much of anything else has been done so I've got a couple of days of catching up on housework ahead for me .... Oh well,it was fun while it lasted!

I recently bought a Magnolia Ink magazine that is a couple of issues old and they had a tutorial on making a suitcase so I began the journey yesterday making it and colouring my image then today I put it all together and this is what I managed to come up with ....

I think I'm going to end up addicted to making these and I think because they were so much fun  I might have a go making a few more in different themes.  This is one of those projects that it didn't seem to matter what setting I had set on my camera or how I had the suitcase sitting, the photo was never going to do it justice ... but having said that I still think it looks pretty amazing on here ...

Well that's it for tonight ... Hope those of us that have kidlets home on school holidays cope and have lots of fun doing fun things.

Ciao for now
