Whitman Sampler Swap

I've been working on a few swap projects, one of which was the Whitman Sampler Swap hosted by Elizabeth who blogs at Creative Breathing.

You were to decorate 12 of the small Whitman Sampler boxes...the ones that hold 4 pieces of yummy chocolate.



I used a mix of vintage and new to embellish the boxes.




I added a vintage stamp to each one...the date on the stamp is 1957.....the year I was born....

Holy Smoke!!

Me Vintage????



I was lucky enough to find a box full of gift tags, decals and small wooden ornaments at a garage sale this summer... they sure came in handy for this project!!

    I love them, Chris. The stamp is such a cute idea. Mine would be 1956-I'm even more vintage than you! They are little works of art.
