I did a private swap over at swap-bot with wrgmama & goddessamy - online friends, we made something for each other - in a kit form.

We had to make the item, then make a kit for them to make the same thing themselves - complete with instructions.

Here's the matchboxes I made - the instructions & images are rolled up and tied with a ribbon, inside their blank boxes.

I painted the blank boxes with Tim Holtz crackle paints, printed and cut out my gorgeous Louise Brook images, adhered black german scrap wings, a black brad on the front of the boxes for a 'pretend' handle... you really need to push these boxes from the back to open properly :).. I also added a diamante on Louise's necklace - but did it after I scanned.

I really enjoyed this little swap, and am considering another........ anyone interested ?
