I took part in Heather's recent Petite Inspiration Box Swap - Paris Edition and since my partners Becca and Jeanne have opened their boxes, I can share with you what I sent to them.
I could have easily worked with my usual palette of pastels but opted instead to play around with new-to-me colors and textures, keeping with an oatmeal and turquoise scheme. Ooh la la!
My original plan was to fill a petit tiroir and tuck it inside the larger box, but then i really liked how it looked stacked on top and glued it in place.
I covered and filled the boxes with new and vintage treasures. Some purchased and some from other swaps and gifts, like ...
paper envelopes from Keren and French dictionary pages from Cassandra. Gifts that keep on giving!
Yep, that's one of the cards I posted about previously.
I hope to take photos of the beautiful boxes I received ASAP.

Elyse! They're beautiful. You did such a great job. You are making me miss my studio so much I ache!
Your boxes are beautiful. And the oatmeal/turquoise combination is simply lovely and elegant. So fun to see what you did for the swap...
ooooh they're adorable Elyse! Who wouldn't love receiving them?!
thanks for stopping by and for your input re the text size. I found out about a solution - a program called Live Writer, that gives lots more flexibility :)
The boxes you made are so very sweet! Thank you so much for the kind comments on my blog and the good thoughts for Matthew, it means so much to me! I am wishing you and your family a happy holiday.
Hugs,
Kathy
