What a fun theme for a swap: Happy Birthday! And since this is my birthday month I couldn't wait to participate. The challenge was to design a matchbox with a birthday theme and fill it with goodies. I love little cakeboxes, and knew this would be perfect if designed in scale for the top of the matchbox. I decorated the cake slice with pretty papers, festooning, tulle, netting, seam binding robbon and flowers. I couldn't resist making a birthday crown to send with my matchbox. I have recieved both of my swap boxes from my partners Marsha and Sheila but haven't opened them yet because I thought it would be so fun to wait for my birthday!
Happy
Pink Saturday to visitors from Beverly's fabulous link party.
