Vintage Travel & Luggage

Hi everyone, today is the start of a brand new challenge at A Vintage Journey.  I hope you will join the creative fun and post a project.  This month we are talking about Vintage Travel and Luggage and the Creative guides have made some amazing samples for you.  Hopefully you will be inspired to play along.

Mac and I are going on a big trip later this year so I made a fun little valise to store our tickets, photos and souvenirs.  The inside is filled with little pockets, tags and stamped images where we can tuck away those fond memories.
 
 


I started with a chipboard kit that I found at my local craft store from Pine Cone Press.  You will notice all kinds of Tim's goodies as well as some of my favorite Graphic 45 paper.
 
Below are some photos of the inside, I'm looking forward to putting this to use.



 









Get some ink on those fingers and make something vintage,
