Angie asked us to create a sunshine box for a friend in the need of cheering up. I decided I need cheering up after all this rain and I'm my friend! My sunshine box is a suitcase filled with what I need for a trip to where it's sunny and warm!
Cut two suitcase images with Slice, trimmed some pp for the lining and adhered to card base. Stamped, colored and fussy cut clothes, some are from pp. Sentiment is colored with glitter gel pen. Added flower to the hat and a lovely cold drink embellie. Now, where should I go?
Come play with us, all the challenges can be found HERE

LOL at your write-up. We have had sunshine here for three days - and everyone is in so much better form because of it. Not that it's quite warm yet...but we're getting there. Your suitcase packed ready to travel is just brilliant - I'm with you on the book(s) and hat for sure. And the drink looks very appetising!! Where to go - my first choice would be one of the Greek islands, I think - but I'm sure Hawaii would be a lot nearer for you if you need sunshine.

This is a hoot, Carla. NO one better to plan a much needed vacation other than ourselves. I love the suitcase filled with dreams gone by ... that is, bikinis and all things small like the good ole days. Darling card.
