Description:

Bonjour! I am infatuated with Marie Antoinette lately, and I am ready for my next Marie swap. For this swap you will take one 250ct matchbox, decorate the outside in a decadent marie Antoinette theme, then fill it with at least 5 Marie inspired goodies such as a small fan, a feather, a cake, dangly earrings, something sparkly, lace, a small jewelled shoe, the Eiffel Tower, a crown, etc. Vintage items are ok expecially if your partner likes them. At least one item must be handmade such as a tag with her image on it, an ATC, 3 inchies, an altered envelope or notecard, etc. Your items will be considered Marie inspired as long as they are heavily embellished. Make your box and its contents fit for a queen. Don't forget to use all your French-themed papers and rubber stamps!! Send more handmade items for a heart, but remember to send quality items. Start your boxes early and have fun with it!!

Experienced swappers only. Must have completed at least 10 mailed swaps, and have a rating of 5. I will angel this swap in case of an emergency.

U.S. only (feel free to start an International version).

Au revior!

what does altered mean...as to just making a matchbox decorated with marie antoinette things?

An "altered" object is one that is transformed into and used for a purpose other than the one inteded - in this case, a matchbox is altered into a pretty piece of art and storage box. Think of altered spools, altered books, altered altoid tins, etc... It is the artistic word for decorating the matchbox and filling it with Marie Antoinette things. :o)
