Valentine Mailbox

I wanted to do something special for our Children's Minister at church.  Valentines Day is only Single Awareness Day for her.  I thought I could get the kids at church to fill this up with valentines and chocolates and let her have a nice Valentines despite being single. 



This was a larger project than I thought it would be.  It actually measures 12" high.
It has a box that fits up in the middle that can be removed to take out all the goodies.



Fancy Pants Paper
Washi Lace
Be Mine Ribbon
Punched Hearts
Printed Love You


I'm entering this project in the following challenges:

Happy New Year


It's a new year!  2017!

The Happy New Year is from the new Cricut cartridge I bought, Celebrate With a Flourish.  The girl is Flowers Behind My Backabella a die cut and stamp I bought from #StampingBella.  It's the first time I've used this die-cut or colored it.  I practiced my coloring on this piece.  The Sending You flag is from #CloseToMyHeart
Two rhinestone jewels complete the design.

Sympathy Cards are Hard

Sympathy cards are so hard because you know that it represents a death or loss.  One wants to be creative, but respectful.  This is my effort this week.


This is a Cricut cut from Serenade.  The bird is from Cricut cartridge Heritage
I used a With Sympathy stamp that I had made for me at Stamping Out Loud
The Embossing folder is Hearts & Whimsy



The Sorry For Your Loss stamps is from #CloseToMyHeart
I feel good about this card for who it is going to, a friend, who lost her father.
Come play with us at Fantabulous Cricut
