Wow, as pretty as that is, I believe that is something that neither Heather, NOR Todd could accomplish. *wink wink* :lol:

There is a matchbox file on this blog. http://www.paperscissorsinc.com/2009/07 ... ricut.html (Why re-invent the wheel? :D )
The box posted above is made of stacks of matchboxes. Here is another finished one. http://acraftingjourney.blogspot.com/20 ... match.html

Way to go, Heather!!!

Uh, I really wish they'd get better updated smileys for this forum. These are SO 80's. And trust me, I know the 80's. lol

I feel like such an idiot. How would you make the drawers for the three matchbboxes to slide into? And how would you make the box to go around the set of matchboxes? Sorry to be such an idiot, but I don't understand how to get everything the right size. Sorry

To make the "drawers" you would just cut a rectangle piece of cardstock wide enough to cover the matchbox end to end...and long enough to wrap all the way around it on the short sides. Glue it together and you have your drawer :)

Ok, I'm going to try this. Keep your fingers crossed that it works for me! I'm not the greatest with crafty things, but I'm willing to give it a shot! Thank you all sooooo much! I appreciate all the help. Well.....I'm off to the matchbox factory! Thanks again, Gail
