Hello! I hope you are well. The lovely Sam Hammond Donald of Pootles fame has set her wider team a challenge to create a Travel themed project. I always think that packing your suitcase is one of the worst and best parts of travelling. On the one hand you stress about what to put in there, how much it will weigh, if you’ll have room to bring back souvenirs etc. But on the plus side, packing is exciting as you’re almost ready to go on your adventures! So, I decided to make this vintage suitcase gift box for the challenge…
Here’s the other side…
And here’s the sweet treat packed inside..
I sure am glad that we don’t have to carry suitcases by the handle these days. Wheels on a suitcase are an absolute heaven sent invention! But I do like the vintage vibes this cute treat holder is giving….
