Bon Voyage

Hi everyone!!

Well...we've definitely had a change in the weather and sorry to be typically English but...it's too darn hot!!! My regular followers know that when it comes to this weather...I just melt when it gets to these temperatures, and London is definitely very HOT today!! The best part of the day though...evening, a cool breeze and a beautiful sunset...perfect!!!

Anyway, I hope you're all having a fabulous week, and I hope you're enjoying the sunshine! Today, is a new challenge over at Sarah Hurley and this challenge is all about....
NEW BEGINNINGS

We'd love to see your creative pieces and if you need any inspiration, the DT have come up with some fabulous ideas...and here's mine, I hope you like it!!!

I chose to make a little Bon Voyage suitcase, ready for a new beginning...maybe somewhere exciting, where you start new dreams and new adventures!! The papers are all from Sarah's Britannia CD and of course, the die cuts are Tim Holtz's Vintage Valise, Branch and Leaf and Tattered Florals Alterations Sizzix Dies. I added some computer generated text and some twine.


So, that's about it from me for today...it's been a slightly hectic week of crafting, one that I wasn't expecting and one that will continue for the next few days...wish me luck because I have deadlines looming and as yet...no card projects!!! Eek.... lol!!

Thank you for all your comments on my last post...as always, I appreciate each and every one of them!!
I'll be visiting all your blogs later tonight...see you then and have a lovely evening!!
Take care....love Emma xxx

  7. Brilliant little suitcase - loving those spotty flowers.
    The heat wouldn't be so bad if we didn't have to work and carry on as normal but just sit back and enjoy it.
    I work in an air conditioned office and it was pretty cold in there today - sounds mad but I hardly change my winter and summer work wardrobes because of the air-con :(

  9. Hi Emma
    I love that suitcase - what a great idea! The blue flowers really pop and I really like the textured strapping. Fab! Like you, I have also been melting the last three days and nights so can't wait for it to cool down again! x
