Boy and Girl- Target "Altered" Mailbox

Earlier I posted the first altered Mailbox that I completed. Well, it was for my DGS and I needed to complete one for my DGD....I didn't want to procrastinate....so...... I went ahead and completed hers......So here they both are...complete and ready to send to them.....Sooooo....How did I do? They were very easy to make.......

1-4" strip from a 12x12 PP.
Traced the lid-2x's with coordinating PP
Doodlecharm cart for the envelopes and heart
ribbon and ric rac

These were as much fun to alter as the Target buckets....Thanks for Looking...

Okay.........I am off to create some "Inaugural Celebration" Layouts........

Valentines Cards

I am sitting here watching the "Obama Express" and I am so excited to be able to share in this moment in history. I decided my 5 days off would be spent in the comforts of my scrapbook room while watching the entire "Obama/Biden Affair-Inauguration-History Event".

I am also having a very productive scrapping weekend. I started making cards yesterday, Friday.......and I am doing it using "my stash". I am on a "self-imposed shopping ban" and I have to say....."I am soooooooo proud of me".....to date $0 dollars spent on new scrapbook stuff. Wow....that's 17 days....spend free.....It also helps NOT to go into the Craft stores .......I think, I am living vicariously through my sisters/brothers on the Cricut message board(Hehe).....They have been finding some neat stuff and bargains....I have toooo much I have to use.....Soooo.....I am just enjoying their stuff via MB......But anywho ..here are the Valentines cards I completed....I have not purchased any new stamps either ....And I am sooo loving that Martha Stewart Valentines Border Punch and I wanted the new $1 inkadinkado stamps....but.....I am using what I have....I also used Nestabilities (Heart Shapes) for most of the cards that I completed: So..... how did I do "Scrappin my OLD stash"?...........Oh, the cardstock is last years "K & Co "Smitten"....Okay, now I need to go "CREATE" some more.........I'll be back.....
