Oh yeah, my first slider card!!! What fun, thanks very much Beth and Beate for the fabulous challenge!
I had thought to make one of the double pocket bags as a bon voyage for a co-worker, but the little gifts I picked up were too many for that project. so I'll give her this card and a box with her treats for the road...waterways to England for a month! Girl O Girl, I'm gonna miss her! I followed Beate's tutorial to the letter. I chose this MME 29th St paper as my friend loves anything blue. I stamped Technique Tuesdays celebration sayings onto the inside of the slider, friends and family embossed in clear and inked with ColorBox sepia black which I used throughout. I added an epoxy sticker from MM passport and stamped Michelle Ward's bird in a heart (inked with ChalkBox lipstick red) above the sentiment. My tag is on MME Bohemia double sided paper. I added PARTY to the top of the tag as you pull. Finished the tag with lots of fluffy ribbons one that says celebrate! Don't you just love that travel case from Carmen's Veranda. I stamped (ColorBox peacock gold) her initals on the front with the Chelsea font medium size from Ma Vinci. I filled the case with a postage stamp of the QUEEN and every queen must have a CROWN...a DRAGONFLY brad holds the luggage tag on the left side...and a GLOBE...so she'll be sure to find her way home...
Thanks so very much for your comments...they are like sunbeams on my grey and cool day...I thought it was JUNE?!!!

WOWZA! What a wonderful card this is - your friend is sure to be thrilled. Hope some sunshine comes your way today (it's raining here in MI this early morning but my dad used to say rain before 7:00, clear by 11:00 so there's hope!).
