The One With Mail and More...

This is my version of the ever-popular Target Dollar Bin mailbox... I only bought 3 for some dumb reason, but I am happy with the way they turned out. Thanks go out to Leann who shared the .cut file she created to cover these things. What a time saver! My BFF, the self proclaimed "paper-whore", sent me leftover Valentine paper that she had in her stash and away I went. I finally got to use the Doodlebug Sugarcoating that I bought awhile back. I love the chocolate color with this pink.


I used the Wedding and Storybook cartridges for my Cricut for the front label, and used the stamp die/embossing set that came with my Cuttlebug to cover up the ugly flags... That needs some work, but there is only so much you can do with an ugly plastic flag, ya know? If I had had some sheer chocolate covered ribbon, that would have been perfect. I could have wrapped the whole thing in it. Oh well, live and learn..

Glad my addiction has helped you out. Your mailboxes make mine look like a preschool project! I will not show you.
As always, I'm amazed by your creativity and friendship.
