I had so much fun making this altered matchbox for a swap hosted by JoAnne of Vintage Dragonfly.
I used a large (300 count) matchbox for my base and covered it with black cardstock and papers from the Crafty Secrets new CD - Creating With Vintage Halloween CD#4.
I used TH hitch fasteners for feet and a magnetic fastener for ease in opening and closing the box.
Hope my swap partner likes it! I may have to make another just for me!!

OMG - this is fantastic, I adore the papers and the orange and black work so well together. The prints on those papers are beautiful and the embellishments on the lid really finish it off. At a first glance you'd never believe it was a match box. Your swap partner is very lucky indeed.
