An altered matchbox - The Roses

Between waiting for glue to dry and searching for misplaced supplies I've been making altered matchboxes. 


There is something quite lovely about projects you can hold in your hand. The bling on this box adds a nice weight to the small thing.


I was searching through my stash of words for something like "still" or "bliss" but this little quote tugged at my heartstrings.

No matter what happens, you can face your challenges and overcome... for the roses will grow again.

This piece is listed HERE in the etsy shop

    Really like the matchbox! I have a cricut pattern to cut out the matchboxes. I just haven't used it yet. Shame on me. Thank you for the inspiration.
