Matchbox album

My newest project ... a mini-album!! Mini enough to fit into a matchbox!!!


The elephant-front is because the photos inside are all about our visit to Addo Elephant Park.


The outside of the matchbox was painted with Espresso Adirondack Dabber. I then cut paper to cover box.


The album itself is made out of a few tags held together by ribbon.


Each tag was cut and chalked and have its own photo and little embellishment.
