Altered Match Box

After my Mum saw the first Match Box I altered she asked if I'd do a few for her to give to her sisters for Christmas - nothing like planning ahead!

The match boxes are from the supermarket - they're the long matches for open fires.




I've tried to distress the paper that I covered it with - I think I've done ok this time round - it doesn't look like my usual 'traumatised'!!!


This is going in for the Allsorts challenge which is hosted by the fab Helene this week - I almost missed out too - only an hour left to enter this week!

I'm also going to enter it for the Simon Says... Challenge which is 'distressing' this week (the theme that is - not the challenge!)
