This box is made using my newest papers, all in deep and dusty purples and plums
Buttons, ribbons, roses and pearls for romance....

....and a heart....
More on my addiction to matchboxes....



This little chest of drawers could be used as a gift box for tiny presents...

...or just as a matchbox for lighting my candles in the evenings.


This little gift box is about 2 and a half inches long and is decorated with paper flowers and organza ribbon...


Tuft and Me made little birdhouses out of matchboxes. Mine looks a bit dark and gypsy I think in the browns with all the gold charms on - I never know when less is more!!
On one side I've stuck little mullberry paper flowers, and on the roof corners I've hung tiny golden hearts - the perch is appropriately a match stick.

And on the other side, I've stuck some tiny brown mushrooms my sister made from fimo.

This picture frame was a challenge set by my sister, and one that I didn't really think through properly before I started, and so ended up looking exactly like most of my things do. I'm told it called `having a style` but sometimes I bore myself silly! The little doors on the card do actually close, which is nice, but pointless if there's a picture inside :)

Although intended to share,

I can rarely part with my ATC,s xx

...this tiny oval box measures just over an inch long.

...and this little heart shaped box is just the right size to hold 3 or 4 delicious chocolate truffles for a special someone ..x
