All In An Inch

Beautiful things come in small packages.
Which is why Inchies are so fun to create and trade.
What is an Inchie? It is a collage or piece of art that is an inch!
It's been quite some time since I have created an Inchie and I really wanted to create something for Valentine's Day, Valentine swaps are so much fun...don't you agree?
So I called out to my Inchie friends to participate in A City of Love Inchie swap.
The Inchies that were created for this swap are spectacular treasures!
It was such a joy to receive them in the mail.
So before the Inchies were traded and sent back to the participants, a special box was created to hold this collection.

The little box is about two inches. A green ribbon was glued to the outside of the box to keep the Inchies securely inside. A few matching flowers were added for a sweet touch.



When the box was opened a little card with a heart is revealed.
Then there is a little ribbon tab when pulled ..........


Displays the wonderful collection of Inchies.
Paris Post!


The sweet smelling Lavender.
What a beautiful scented treasure!


I heart Paris!
So sweet!


The Luxor....
The heart of the Desert

No place can be as romantic as Rome!
A place where everything is gorgeous!


This is such a fun interactive Inchie.
I Love Paris!


Got to love the Theatre in Paris!


The City of Love!

I want to thank everyone for participating in this fun swap! I do hope everyone enjoyed creating their Inchies and are happy with the final collection! I also hope it inspires a little love and art in the cities of the world! Inchies are so much fun, I look forward to another fun swap soon!
