Spring Matchbox

I have only completed one matchbox before, the Christmas Swap, so I had to enter this swap didn't I?!!


I made the matchbox from card and covered it with some scrapbooking paper using a template found on the web.  I used some yellow ribbon to which I tied a charm and attached them to the tray with a brad. 
I printed out one of my favourite saying and attached it to the top of the matchbox.
I have decided that I will used the theme 'Paris in the Springitme', especially as I have several postcards of small photos!!!
I cut out all the photos, found some ephemara brought back from our last trip to said City.  
I attached the small photos to a background and lined the photo with gold pens.
I used some Washi Tape across two cards, and added some embellishments to them.  I cut some card size pieces from the ephemara, and the scrapbooking paper.  I added some punched tulips, flowers and people.
I managed to get all of these cards into the box!  
I hope that they are suitable ..... I will find out when I receive my swap......


I received this matchbox by return:

Exciting!!
 
 Inside are the cutest cards!  

I love all the details, the rounded corners, the small embellishments - ooooh! it's beautiful.

There is even a teeny tiny jigsaw piece!
If another swap comes up I will definitely join in.

 Thank you Jan for a marvellous swap.
