Hi everyone! Do you have unfinished projects lying around? Raise your hand if you do. ✋Well, this is an unfinished matchbox that I cut out and put together the box part of it about six years ago but never finished. I ran across it while straightening my craft room and had a brilliant idea on how to finish it off.
I found this vintage image of this boy dressed in a sailor outfit on The Graphic Fairy and knew I wanted to somehow create a mini journal for the matchbox.
I stapled five pieces of notebook paper to the inside of the mini journal.
Now for the fun part! Adding goodies! I raided my stash and added colored items that could be used for the beach/ocean and a mini set of rubber stamps with its own stamping block.
Would you like to win this little matchbox with all the goodies you see here? Well, I will tell you how can win this!!!
