Give a Crafter A Cookie

Hello and Good Friday morning.  It is time for another challenge over at Give A Crafter A Cookie.  This was a challenge for me. 

The theme was......

My vacations usually revolve around going home and seeing family.  And I enjoy them, but I don't usually do the normal vacation.  This year is different.  My husband and I are celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary in June so we decided to do something.  We are going to head to Washington DC.  I have always wanted to go.  My husband lived in the DC area growing up and it isn't high on his list of places to go, but he knows I want to go so we are going.

For the challenge, I decided to make a countdown hanger.  It is hanging beside my desk so I see it a million times a day.  I cant wait for the trip. 

I created every thing myself except the suitcase.   I don't normally make things from scratch.  It is so easy to go to the Silhouette Online Store and pick up what I need.  I want to work on creating some of my own stuff this summer.  It should be fun if I can get my creative juices flowing.

You can find the suitcase at the Silhouette Online Store.  It comes with a couple different images and then a negative of the images.

Instead of making by countdown square, I put it at an angle.  I really like how it came out.

The challenge this week is sponsored by A-Muse Studio.  I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with.  So head on over and enter the challenge today.

Have a great day and I hope to see you on here later today.
