Just in Time....

For Valentine's Day.....

I found this little vintage suitcase, 

(or SOUPcase, as someone else calls it)

and decided it needed a little makeover.

It was just about like the one I had when I was a little girl...

I used it for my baby doll clothes.

It is very light weight!

The inside still has the original paper lining...  
but was missing the little mirror.

I added some letters to the top....

and a graphic....  

from The Graphics Fairy with Mod Podge.

 Inside....  I tore a page out of an old book and attached it where the mirror USED to be, along with more words.

After it was dry, I painted most of it with ASCP in Old White.....

(I still wanted to leave some of the original green.)

I dry-brushed the paint right over the words and picture...

And then waxed.

 A little vintage re-purposed piece to hold your pictures and notes!
