I found this small paper suitcase at Goodwill the other day. As soon as I saw it, I knew what I wanted to do. Here's how it looked when I found it. And here's how it looks now. Front Back (sorry about the glare!) Closed Open Its the perfect size for the LaLa fashions! I made a few mistakes and some of the paint needs a few touch ups and I need to seal it. But I think it turned out pretty cute if I do say so myself! ;D I made sure to include the twins, but only had room on the back. I should have also added the striped paper. Oh well, I can re-vamp it the next time I make one. My granddaughter loves it! I will be on the look-out for more of these. I'd like a bigger one. I'm sure I can find something that would work even better at Hobby Lobby. It just won't be as cheap as the Goodwill find! LOL! Thanks for looking!

Thanks Mel!
LOL! I sure did! The striped paper is scrapbooking paper. I just got lucky with good color matches.

I think Macy might need a lala fashion box too. After seeing Elwynn's fashions she's already asking me to make her clothes for the lala she's getting for Christmas.

LOL! I bet your daughter would love a fashion box! I plan to give this first one to my granddaughter today when she gets out of school. She hasn't seen it yet, so its a surprise. I'll make me another one later on. My fashion packs haven't been opened yet, so I really don't need one right now.

Ahhh that's a good idea. Now that I think of it, I have a case like that, different color. Maybe I'll do that with it too.

Love it!!! You inspired me, too ... I had several old boxes like these that I am now in the process of painting and revamping as clothing cases for my daughter's Lala girls.
