I'm very happy to say I'm in this issue - in the Ideas Gallery. This month, the theme was Matchboxes - and I used one of those giant boxes of household matches to make a little Keepsake Box.

Staz-On ink is great for stamping onto metal - just allow it to dry for around 5 minutes or so, to prevent smudging.
