Here’s a cute project to celebrate someone who’s going places! Plus more of my Japan trip photos!
Know someone who is going places? Could be a trip somewhere, or could be a new life adventure….here’s a cute project to celebrate! It uses the On the Go Suite products – which I LOVE!
This is the cute Suitcase Treat Box that you can assemble – and then decorate! The On the Go Suite includes the Suitcase Treat Boxes, plus the Tags to Go stamps and dies (available in a discounted bundle), the On the Go Designer Series Paper and Puffy Stickers, and the Pack Your Bags Twine Three Pack. (Heads up – the Puffy Stinkers will benefit from being opened to the air – they’ve got a bit of a plasticky smell to them to start). The Suite is the “easy” button to get all the products with one item code (also available in French!). If you want the full instructions for this project, subscribe to the YamStamps Newsletter! The first newsletter of each month is the multi-project version – and if you are a new subscriber, you’ll get that edition when you sign up, plus all the subsequent weekly versions! So if you sign up now, you’ll get the April edition – which includes this tutorial, perfect for holding a little treat (or gift card) for someone who is going places!
Speaking of going places, I did promise more pictures of my trip, which now feels like a lifetime ago….but here’s some photos from our time in Tokyo!
I called this the Ghibli clock, but more accurately, it’s the NTV clock designed by Hayao Miyazaki. At different times during the day, there’s a show where the clock comes to life! This was on my list of “things I want to try to see in Japan” and it was actually quite close to our hotel, so my mother and I wandered over one day to see it! (I think Dylan & Denisse were shopping at Uniqlo at the time LOL).
We visited Sensoji Temple – definitely one of the more crowded areas! Once we made it to the main hall, it was a little less congested.
A few sights from around the grounds of the temple – koi fish and yes, flowers on the trees, in JANUARY. Just at the very top, but still – January!!
So exciting to attend one day of the Tokyo Sumo Tournament!!! Nothing says “I am in Japan” like watching sumo wrestlers! We grabbed a bento box and sat and ate (in the cheap seats way up high), and watched the tournament. We were very excited that there was a wrestler called “Ichiyamamoto” so of course we had to cheer for him (he’s not in this picture though).
Last but not least, one of my stationery purchases from Tokyo – so cute! If you have watched the Ghibli films My Neighbour Totoro or Spirited Away, you’ll recognize these soot sprites or kurosuke. These are little erasers!!
If you are going places, like travelling to Japan, I got these erasers at the NTV store on the ground floor of where the clock is located.
I plan on using some of the On the Go Suite for scrapbooking some photos from our trip! Stay tuned for those pages (but don’t hold your breath, because you can see how long it’s taking me to go through and pick out/edit photos!!).
