Anything but a card

Good morning, well here we are almost at the end of another week, my how time flies!
Today over at CRAFT we have a new challenge.
This week we would like to see projects that are…

Anything But A Card

Our sponsors this week are

 LEJ Designs                        Wags n Whiskers


My project this week combines Ride ‘m Ryan from Wags ‘n Whiskers
and  a suitcase box template from The Cutting Café




I have made this suitcase for our grandson Ryan.
He loves his aunty’s three King Charles Spaniels so much that at Christmas he asked for a dressing up dog outfit.
As soon as I saw this stamp I thought of him.
The case has his own ‘puppy’ and puppy blanket inside so that he can take it with him wherever he goes.


The image is coloured with Promarkers.
The papers are from the Nitwit collection Tails and Wags
The Ribbon and button is from my stash.

Have fun!
