I was excited to finally get to join one of the Speckled Egg Petite Inspiration Box swaps! This one was Spring themed. I am sure you have seen this swap around, but if you haven't heard of them, you are grouped up with other players and each player decorates a large sized match box and fills it with goodies that go along with whatever the theme is.
There where three to a group in this one. I was paired with Marti and Jeanne. Above is the sweet box that Marti sent me. It was filled with lovely treats in purple, pinks, and green.
Inside was pretty earrings and a necklace, a sweet notepad, bird, images, tag, ribbon, and other treats.
This is the pretty box that Jeanne sent me.
Inside was pretty millinery, lace, mother of pearl buttons, vintage wallpaper, and I loved the pretty light pink cameo! Thanks so much Marti and Jeanne!
Here are the boxes I sent Marti and Jeanne. I sent Jeanne the blue one and Marti the pink one.
The boxes are decorated with ledger paper and vintage wallpaper. The ends are glittered and embellished with vintage jewelry pieces and a bow.
Unfortunately I did not get many pictures of what was inside. For Marti I noticed she liked paper crafting and flowers. I made her a pink millinery flower, and included lots of other flowers, vintage wallpaper, pretty shabby papers and text. I also cut out words from vintage book pages that where Spring related.
For Jeanne I went with a bird theme and included different bird related embellishments and cut out vintage text with words that went with the theme. I also included a resin basket embellishment, vintage wallpaper, German glass glitter, and millinery.
This swap was lots of fun! Special thanks to Speckled Egg for hosting!
