It was a fun and easy project. I used the pretty Echo Park paper and embellishments in the February kit at My Creative Scrapbook for this project.
I started by removing the flag as I thought it would be easier to cover the mailbox with paper if the flag wasn't in my way. I re-attached the flag with a decorative brad.
I added a Feb. 14 sticker and a ribbon to the flag and added Prima roses and a sentiment sticker to the mailbox. To measure the patterned paper for the mailbox door, I traced the door onto patterned paper then cut along the pencil lines.
When finished, I stuffed the inside with some candy treats to make a sweet Valentine gift. It's much more fun than a box of candy, don't you think?
