Vintage Suitcase Album

Howdy Crafters - I have been working on albums and I have this one ready for gift giving. It is an SVG by Lori Whitlock - it has a hidden binding inside for the folders and includes tab files to place inside each folder - there is plenty of space for photos or Journaling -

A variety of Designer cardstock was use, as well as Kraft, Black, gold, light brown - brads were needed for the handle -I added TH stickers - the clock, lemon soda and inside a license plate stick and rabbit card sticker.

I made my own closure with a Die-Namics Tag die using the Cuttlebug machine - a left over piece of designer cardstock was used for the tag - I then added cardstock to the back of the clock sticker to create a tab to slide down inside the glued tag. The sentiment inside on the Die-namic tag is from Simon Says - I used Gina K Black ink and the Misti - thanks for stopping by.
