Paper Shelter Mailbox

I made this mailbox for my mom’s birthday yesterday/ Valentines present. I also had the newest Paper Shelter challenge in mind while making it. It took me about three days and I think I threw away more roses than what actually ended up on the box but it turned out pretty well.

I colored up this cute swinging girl from The Paper Shelter and hung her from a tree limb (a sizzix die) and more smaller rolled roses.

Here’s a close-up of my rolled roses and leaves:

I'm entering it in the following challenges:

Inky Impressions Valentines Mailbox

Hi everyone! This is a mailbox that I made today for the Inky Impressions “ 2 Ribbons “ challenge.

I also made 15 li’l valentines using a SVG set and mom’s cricut. Well, mom cut them out and I sponged and cuttlebugged and decorated them.

Tomorrow we’re taking the mailbox and the valentines to the Ronald McDonald House and the kids in the hospital. The Ronald McDonald House provides a cheap stay for families who have young children in the hospital.

Here’s the backside of the mailbox.

Hope you like it!
