It's beginning to look alot like Christmas (at least in all of the craft stores...lol!)

Here's an altered matchbox to get you in the holiday mood and tutorial as well:)

FUN STUFF: Create a holiday themed altered matchbox---but instead of stuffing it full of "little things", this one opens like a card. Be sure to decorate it inside and out and include a window on the flap to see the design inside. Hmmm...not quite sure what that means? Here's a tutorial courtesy of artfulplay.blogspot.com

NOT SO FUN STUFF: You MUST use a 32 count matchbox for this swap--a matchbox template won't hold up for embellishments. Do your best work, send on time, rate fairly and promptly. If you do not celebrate Christmas, this may not be the swap for you as you may receive a matchbox with that theme.

Lu, I'm not sure what you mean by "instead of stuffing it full of "little things", this one opens like a card. Be sure to decorate it inside and out and include a window on the flap to see the design inside." Could you post a close up picture of one?

In typical matchbox swaps, you put little things inside for your partner. You are correct---this one opens up like a card and you decorate the inside. You don't include tiny random bits for your partner---instead you are decorating the inside. I'll look for a close up pix:)

If you look through the tutorial, I think you'll get an idea. You are using a mini picture/design that you can see through the window.
