Here is an altered matchbox I finished! It was first totally covered with different lace, and embellished with lush pinks - fabric flowers, paper flowers, lace pieces, bling, pearl trim, stick pins and a beautiful butterfly I purchased from Michael's.<br />
Linking my matchbox to <a href="http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/pink-saturday/">Pink Saturday</a>!<br />

I have finished another matchbox! They are another crafting addiction of mine. I painted the matchbox with a cream acrylic paint & embellished with lotsa lace, shabby fabric flowers, added a stickpin, butterfly & little white bow. To me it says Happy Spring!

I enjoy altering & recycling, and these 3" paint brushes are really fun to work on! Here is a brush I altered with Pretty Pink ribbon, tulle, flowers, lace, and other findings from my craft stash. <br />
I made this one for Beverly's <span style="color: #e06666;"><a href="http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/pink-saturday/">Pink Saturday</a>!</span><br />
