Valentine's Decor?!

I'm not usually one to make altered items, but when I saw this little mailbox last night at Walmart for 4 dollars, I couldn't help it. I tossed the premade valentines that were inside, and dug out my favorite Valentine papers from my stash. ( These were  from Fancy Pants' Splendid line).
A little ribbon from Bo bunny, a Doodlebug Frill and lots of glittered chipboard ( American Crafts, Scrapworks) and voila!
What I love most about this are the LED's that go on when the door is opened. I  punched holes in the pp to make room for them, then added some large eyelets to frame them. I hope this holds up to the abuse of my boys for at least a couple of years!

I'm sure gonna have fun filling this up with love notes for my guys!

Blog Hop Stop!

You've made it here via Practical Scrappers Designer Blog Hop! I wanted to share something a little more special than just a layout with you today. I'm not sure who this is for yet, (I have 2 boys) but It was fun pulling out some pink!


The wreath shape and backing( Chipboard and PP) are both cut with the Cricut Accent Essentials cartridge. I used extra thick foam dots to stick them together. I then wove the wired satin ribbon through the holes, added a felt branch and flowers as well as the adorable Owl stamp from Stampin' Bella.

I am giving away a Stampin' Bella stamp as a prize for the blog hop and I am able to ship Internationally. In order to qualify you need to become a follower here and leave a comment on this post. I will announce the winner on Monday, January 25th so make sure to check back in! Isn't he cute?
