Good morning friends and followers.
Today I'm part of a celebration. The Live & Love Craft inspiration and challengeblog is having a Blog Hop to celebrate the store's one year anniversary! As a former DT member and huge LLC fan, I am delighted to join in.
If you’re here for the hop, you should have arrived from the talented and supersweet Louise
Otherwise, please return to the LLC Blog and start the hop from there.
Blog Hop Order:
Elizabeth - You are here!
The theme of this fabulous hop is "LLC favourites”, and let me tell you
I had lots of fun splurgeing into my LLC stuff- how to choose what my favourites are?
Sooooo hard because I love everything in the store...lol..
For my project I chose my all time favourite the Alecon lace- it's gorgeous, so soft and delicate! I also had to use one of my newest additions to my stash: Frantage- goes perfectly with every vintage project I make. And the Maya Road pearl pins and Creative Charms Pearl brads I could not live without. Same goes for the Kort og Godt rolled roses and berries and of course the Shabby Seam binding. And last but not least the Pion Design papers. I could go on, but I think it's time to show you my project.

I made a suitcase gift box using a tutorial I found in a 2011 Magnolia Ink magazine. I used Pion Papers, Almas sewing room collection, and a vintage image by Pion. The beautiful Alecon lace, Kort og Godt rolled roses and berries, Creative Charms Pearl brads, some blue Shabby Seam binding, Maya Road pearl pins, some WOC roses. I added crackle paint to the corners and wires of the suitcase to make it look like leather.
I used shabby blue Frantage on the image and on some of the flowers.
I used pion papers on the inside, and put some yummy LLC goodies in:
