That Craft Place Challenge

Here is my entry for the That Craft Place Challenge Blog... The challenge was to make or alter a box so here is my take. I have made matchboxes 1 on each of the 4 sides and I have topped it with an easel style card so you can give as an all in one gift, This features a lili of the valley fairy perfect for any little princess you could pop pretty hairslides and bobbles in the boxes.
